Q&A with writer director Yeo Joon Han
Synopsis:
Self-absorbed
Malaysian TV host, Rafflesia Pong (Jerrica Lai), whose art-discussion programme
is dying from lousy ratings, stumbles upon a golden opportunity when her latest
interviewee, an ex-boyfriend, dies in front of the camera. It is perfect timing
as she has to come up with the ultimate reality show to outdo her
American-accented pan-Asian rival. Eric Tan (Peter Davis) is a mild-mannered,
half-English corporate slave who, like Pong, works for the Fony Corporation. He
labours to create the perfect Soyamaker Machine but is constantly assailed by
unreasonable insults from his megalomaniacal CEO bosses. In the face of such pressure,
will Eric and Rafflesia retain their artistic integrity or will they finally
sell out to fame, fortune or some other nasty thing that also starts with
"F"?
Sell
Out! world-premièred at the Venice Film Festival in 2008 and won the Young
Cinema Award for Altre Visioni. It also won awards at the Taipei Golden Horse
Film Festival, Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal and the Barcelona Asian Film
Festival and has been invited to over 25 international film festivals. Described as
Malaysia’s first 'Manglish' (Malaysian-English) musical comedy, it satirizes and
points fingers at various institutions and people in the country, from
bureaucrats and CEOs to artists and the media.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX5Jv0Rt9PI
