Watch out, here comes Liew Seng Tat!

We almost did not clinch this email interview. We almost missed this opportunity to get to know one of Malaysia's upcoming filmmakers We almost blamed ourselves for not giving you an insight into director Liew Seng Tat's wondrous mind. Liew, whose first feature Flower in the Pocket is being showcased at the 21st Singapore International Film Festival, is someone you'd want to talk with in person. Having established Da Huang Pictures with other Malaysian New Wave directors Amir Muhammad (Village People Road Show), James Lee (Histeria) and Tan Chui Mui (love Conquers All), Liew is definitely an ASian director worth looking out for.

IFFR 2008: Interview with "Flower in the pocket" writer / director LIEW SENG TAT

Missing "Flower in the Pocket" has been my biggest regret at this year's International Film Festival Rotterdam, especially since Peter van der Lugt (GhibliWorld.com) and I kept running into writer/director Liew Seng Tat. We even got a chance to interview him!

Now I would have loved to participate in interviewing Liew Seng Tat, but fate had its way of making me miss every single screening of "Flower in the Pocket" prior to the meeting.
And I didn't want to bother the man with made-up questions while I hadn't even seen his film (I did stick around to take the pictures though...)
