My bro & co 's homemade short film : Gotparted

Before my younger brother, Chee How is leaving to US, his secondary schoolmates/friends and him decided (after a 'serious' meeting) to make a holiday project together. (His gang of friends is called 'GotBird' , named after their soccer team formed last time in school) Then they had this idea of making a (parody) movie based on the storyline of 'Internal Affairs / Departed ', and then they explored themselves in this new area. My brother took the role of Wong Sir (Originally by Wong Chow Shang). They shot the movie at various places, including my house too. And i know many of his friends, that's why when my brother told me about this, i'm actually quite looking forward to watch it.

Finally, their movie is finished and made the first premier at one of his friends' house. I was one of the lucky guests to watch it, and had fun. Honestly, for a bunch of guys (yes, the whole movie is without even a female actress) who did it for the first time and spent so little money in the production (just merely RM35++, with almost all the equipments they already have). Later, when they were getting more serious, they even wrote the soundtrack especially for this. 3 songs were written by my brother (all music; lyric and vocal), and his friends (vocals, and lyrics). They went into studio and had their songs recorded (in a full band, formed by the members of the same gang). Also they made side-products such as advertisements and Behind-the-scenes shoots. Many videos are already available on Youtube, and Google video.

I salute.

Here's their friendship site: http://gotbird.blogdrive.com/ which contains the movie and the details/descriptions. You can watch it there.

And all 3 tracks of their soundtrack (in English, Rock/acoustic) can be obtained here.
