short film
Title: Kaki Bangku
Contest: Vision Petron National Art Competition 2017
Position: Director of Photography
Year : 2017
The short film exhibits a story about Irfan, a young boy who is inexperienced at playing football. His circle of community is always looking down on him and calling him names. Rather than allowing the negatives from others to bring him down, he turns them into a form of motivation. This film is based on a true story of Zakhwan Roslee.
