My name is Andrew and I like telling stories through short documentaries. Particularly stories which are not often being told or oppressed. I'm an amateur, never been to a film school before. I do have a fulltime job, working as a content developer for a private university here in Malaysia. Taking photos and making a short film is more of a passionate hobby as it gives me a great satisfaction at the end of it. Not much equipment from my side but all I have and need to make a film is a camera, tripod, mic and a good story.
