The Making of the Movie


    The managing director and the Liaison Officer of Idia Films happened to be his childhood friends. Super Ong and Bazlee Berkely decided to create this film, as a reminder of their wondrous childhood. Among them, the crew:

    Anthony Tak Sambeyong: Cameraman and film editor.Hailing from Korean and Khmer parentage, this cameraman seldom speaks and seldom appears in the films. Known to be an ardent supporter of Tom Cruise, little is known about him except his paunch, his obsession with cola and that he looks like Kim Jong Il from the side.

    Jon Athan: Also of mixed American and Chinese parentage, Jon is the researcher cum historian in this epic movie. A history graduate from the Normal Technological University of Singapore, he serves to keep all historical data in the film as accurate as possible. An outgoing person with a boyish grin, he never misses a photo op.

    Timothy Josh: Tallest member of the team, Timothy was the 2nd Runner-up of the Pulitzer Prize in 2007 with a photo about a tortoise which turned turtle in war torn Afghanistan. He is responsible for taking all the still shots of Roshan Khan. His hopes of finding a 'nice local girl' in Queenstown was momentarily dashed when the hottest chick in town was an auntie driving an Audi. But given his charming voice and unyielding personality finding a 'nice local girl' shouldn't be too difficult.

    Kaleb Kian: The team bouncer and personal aide to Mr Khan. He acts as the translator and backup photographer for the crew. He is also the Liaison Officer for certain matters. He has a smile wider than the population of India. .
