LONG before she took home best actress at the 2020 New York Festivals TV & Film Awards, Amanda Ang was already landing roles for the big screen and stage.

Since leaving her career in advertising, the Labuan native has forged a long and exciting path for herself in the acting world, appearing in numerous plays, movies and TV dramas.

Her role in the upcoming local horror film Kulit Wayang is Ang’s latest highlight. Directed by Dain Said, the film tells the story of Ramlee, played by actor Fattah Amin, a dalang (puppet master) living in the dark swamps of a remote coastal Malaysian village in the 1980s.

His life took a plunge when his daughter Ayu was brutally murdered. While the rest of the village blames the wild crocodiles of the swamps, Ramlee believes otherwise.
