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.

Liew Seng Tat's "Flower in the Pocket" was awarded with a special Jury Prize (Lotus du Jury) at the 10th Deauville Asian Film Festival in France, which was held from the 12th to the 17th of March this year. Coincidentally, French director Patrice Chereau and other jury members have also decided to give Aditya Assarat's "A Wonderful Town" the Jury Prize, making it the third award which the Thai filmmaker is sharing with Malaysia's Seng Tat.
