‘Roh’s’ Route to the Oscars
A big congratulations to producers Kuman Pictures and the cast and crew of indie horror flick ‘Roh’ for being the official Malaysian entry for the International Feature Film Award category at the upcoming Oscars! No, it’s not a nomination (yet), but to be in the mix should at least mean potentially more eyeballs (and revenue) for the film in other film markets.
Terima kasih FINAS! https://t.co/e9vGBVCbWa

This Week’s New Music
Rousing. Rambunctious. Relevant. ‘Look The Other Way’ is punk rock outfit Trophy Knives’s latest single, taken from their upcoming sophomore album of the same name, scheduled for release on 19th March 2021. “The writing of this record was definitely not conventional, as ideally, we would have loved more studio time to experiment sonically. Having said that, this record was born out of necessity; as we were starting to write demos, the tragic death of George Floyd happened, and as the Black Lives Matter movement gained momentum, we were baffled by the tone deaf comments made by people locally and globally…” explains vocalist Vinesh Muniandy. Pre-order “Look The Other Way” on vinyl by getting in touch with the band via social media or visit www.merchcow.com.
