The extra small screen is getting loads of attention these days. Film makers who want a piece of attention are now all going online and showcasing their works on the internet.

Malaysia has seen its fair share of webisodes from Gua’s Karena Kerena to 15 Malaysia. Even we here on Bookmarqc has The BIG Bibik & The Little Nyonyas Cookshow.

And next comes, Ramly At War, a Malaysian production by Juliane Block – a European director based in the country. Her love for Asian cinema have compelled her be based on this part of the world, producing films on all things related to Asia.

Just like Ramly At War, where she uses fighting as the main draw for this short movie. In fact, the whole short film has the HK feel to it – with main dialogue in Cantonese and very dark underground HK scenes similar to that of the typical HK cop action movies.

However there is still that touch of Malaysia in its Manglish dialogue and the scene of Malaysia’s all time favourite burger – the Ramly burger, which seems to loosely link to the movie (one would have thought more since it’s title has the word Ramly anyway).

Overall, this short film still gives a powerful punch especially with the thought that this is afterall quite an independent project.

Though completed a few months back, it is now ready to be premiered online. So, sit back & get your popcorns if you need!

Synopsis:

2 brothers, Quan and Ming belong to the Waja Warriors, one of the oldest and most feared biker gangs dealing in DVD piracy. Quan is a loyal and traditional soldier who will die by the rules. When Ming is in trouble with the rival gang, CoD (Children of DamnedNation or Cash on Delivery), Quan has to make a decision – completing his mission for the Waja Warriors, or breaking the gang laws to save his brother.

*Watch the short film at Hobnox (ya we wonder why it’s not on YouTube or any other video sites too).
