We approach each documentary with research, sensitivity, and cinematic storytelling to preserve stories that matter.

Gajah Olen – A Traditional Malay Wedding Crown | Borneo Cultures Museum

This traditional Malay bridal crown, once worn during bersanding and berinai ceremonies in Sarawak, carries layers of meaning — beauty, memory, and transition. Unlike typical commercial productions, this film captures an unspoken exchange between generations. No script. No performance. Just a woman remembering, and another learning.

A Taste of Chinese New Year | TVS

FULL PLAYLIST

We're back for seconds and it's all about those quintessential ingredients you find at every Lunar New Year dinner. As we filmed family after family, we saw each one had their own take of the same ingredient.

Sarawak Untold History | Sarawak State Government

This historical documentary covers Sarawak’s independence from the last white rajah, James Brooke to the Independence of Sarawak. It was a project that brought so much insight into people like our WWII veteran interviewee and the rural lifestyle he practises.

The Framemaker | Motion Foundry

It’s the life story of a man and his vocation to a dying craft of the old world. This story wasn’t one we planned. One afternoon, we came to pass this frame shop on our way from lunch. A friendly Ou Yang welcomed our curiosity and just started having a chat. Before we knew it, we were filming this short.

Rural Electrification Masterplan | Sarawak Energy Berhad

Thanks to the efforts of organisations like Sarawak Energy, more homes can be powered by solar panels. Without a steady power supply, our batteries needed charging in the car! However, there’s no denying the brilliant novelty of the simple life 4 hours outside the busy city.
