AWR #9: No One Knows Anything with Amir Muhammad!

Welcome back, AWR peeps! We have here an esteemed guest of the hour. He's an accomplished writer-director. A known producer within the local scene. A book publisher. And he made a few documentaries here and there. And if you're familiar with names like FIXI and Kuman Pictures, you've already know the man himself; Amir Muhammad! * We caught up with him to chat briefly about his career, his view on the rather crowded box-office seasons, moving forward in the era of Covid-19 as a movie producer, its effect on the creative industry and more! Also if you're reading this, you've got three to four days left to enter your short film submission to #KumanPicturesChallenge! Deadline's on 15th April, short should be 1-5 mins long and if yours are good, you may just walk with RM 1000 money prize. So get cracking! * A little note: BIGGEST apologies for the less-than-desired audio quality for this week as the WIFI connection crapped out big-time (something something submarine something perhaps) so hopefully you guys willing to pull through this and a gigantic thank you for clicking on that play button. In the meantime; stay safe. Wash those hands. Eat well. And don't be depressed over the MCO extension. Peace out! * Recommendations: -Snowpiercer (2013, Bong Joon-Ho) --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX5PwfEMBM0 -Oththa Seruppu (Slipper Size Seven) (2019, R.
