My second episode for Dark City, entitled '4:20pm', airs next wednesday, 18th of July at 10:30pm on Astro Ria. It's a time travel episode, confusing as fuck to direct for both me, the cast and crew (on which I'll elaborate later) and the trailer looks like this: Like I said, it was confusing because it was a time travel episode. After the first two scripts I wrote based on synopsis' from Niche films (one of which, 'Cellphone', I directed) they asked for more stories, so I pulled out the old folder and looked for some old stories that I never got to shoot. One of them was this, '4:20pm', a short film I was originally supposed to shoot with the boys who later became known as Voxel. I figured, with all the horror and murder and rape and pillage of the other episodes, something a bit more 'Twilight Zone' would be cool. But, good God, it was confusing. Shooting a time travel story is annoying because on set you don't usually shoot scenes in sequence, and since we had two different sets we figured we'd shoot one set on day one and the other on day two, but trying to remember what time the clocks are meant to be showing and whether or not the mug of coffee is in shot or not or whether it was hot or cold or whether the character was from the future or the past was a twisting head fuck. I've tried to edit it as clearly as possible so that it won't go over the heads of those watching it, but it could still confuse people. The one shot I really like in this, though, is my little FX shot, where the future protagonist hides behind a wall as his past version walks past, all in the same shot (it's the last shot of the trailer). If anything, I'm just glad I got that shot. The episode showing this week, directed by Na'a Murad, is called 'Ghost Rider' (don't know what the Malay name is) and has no relation to the Nicholas Cage movie based on the Marvel comic book. It's about a rempit (motorbike racer) who is possesed by the spirit of a racer who died when he buys his bike. I'm acting in it as a mechanic (so no crap Chinese accent this time, just covered in a lot of grease). Hope those of you who've been watching are enjoying the show. Noonch.
