My new short LAST FRAGMENTS OF WINTER having world premiere at Dubai International Film Festival 2011

So... I'm announcing the world premiere of my latest short film LAST FRAGMENTS OF WINTER less than a week before it is happening at this year's Dubai International Film Festival. My publicity skills have gone down the drains. It's hard, juggling my responsibility as a filmmaker, creator, producer and, er, self-promoter. In an ideal world, someone else would have been promoting me instead of me doing all these myself, but the world isn't ideal, and my films are probably not the type that people would jump in to promote, so... there you go.

I have a very nice poster though.

LAST FRAGMENTS OF WINTER was shot earlier this year. You can see me, being all awesome and cool, commanding a massive film crew of 3 members under the snow, and having this formidable job of directing a huge amount of... one teenage actress.

Anyway, my seemingly cheery and flippant demeanour hides a sensitive soul, brimming with romanticism and poetry. As you can see in this broody photo taken by my crew members while I wasn't looking.

Me, deep in thought.

And me, composing shots that came straight from my SOUL.

You can read about my account on this highly challenging, life-threatening film shoot.

I even blogged about the meticulous detail I put in the sound mixing process.

Here's the synopsis of my film, fittingly mysterious:

A dreamlike cinematic poem about a family. A boy runs an errand for his mother and realizes that she is dying. A man attends the funeral of a former lover and speaks to her ghost. A woman learns to appreciate the little things around her in everyday life.
