Sayap(2025)
In a mist-shrouded swamp, Raaja, a quiet, introspective boy, captures a red Siamese fighting fish with his friend Gila, a curious chatterbox. What begins as a simple act of fascination turns into a haunting meditation on life and the bonds between living beings. Raaja learns from an old bird keeper, Pak Tok, that every living thing we hold becomes our responsibility, its life, its fate, its death. When Raaja’s care turns to obsession and the fish dies, he confronts the painful truth about love, loss, and letting go. Set against a haunting natural landscape, Sayap is a poetic tale of innocence, mortality, and the delicate balance between human hands and the wild soul of nature.

Sakarat: Pohon Yang Sunyi(ms)
Beneath a dying tree, a man digs a grave, awaiting another arrival. When a silent figure appears, he assumes they've come to bury someone else. But as the truth unfolds, he realises the grave is his own. What follows is not a fight for survival, but a quiet confrontation between fate and free will, between beings that exist beyond human understanding. What begins as a simple encounter unfolds into something far more metaphysical: a conversation between two beings that exist beyond the realm of men. One bound by duty, the other corrupted by desire, both caught in a moment between life and eternity. Set in a desaturated rural landscape, Sakarat: Pohon Yang Sunyi reimagines the moment before death where silence, duty, and rebellion intertwine, blurring the boundaries between the mortal and the divine.
