WHO says that young Malaysian filmmakers canât make it on the international scene? Before the age of 30, Dharius Zulkefli has already earned several awards for the movies he has directed.
His first win was for Best Editing, for his short film Kun Fayakun, a film inspired by a conversation he had with his parents. It was then followed up with the award for Best Family Drama for his film The Selfish Ones at The Manhattan Film Festival 2018.
The New York-based Malaysian film director is well on his way to make it big in the international movie scene.
Because of the pandemic, he is now back in Malaysia, and we took the opportunity to have a chat with him about movies, filmmaking, and about the man himself.
