The colourful film crew members!

The gang of us doing the film are a mixed bag with varying experiences in making film-from a few films to 0. We are more motivated to chase after the reasons for the `strange happening' in Bengoh election. So the gang:

Director:
Joachim Leong, member of Loyarburok, new law grad, involved as election observer in 10th Sarawak state elections. Ambition: to optimise career between law and film making! Born in Kuching, Sarawak, now working in KL. Very committed to do something for his home state!

Camera:
Niloh, staff of a Kuching based NGO called SADIA(Sarawak Dayak Iban Asociation), take a new interest in filming as a mean for making social documentaries; Had already a few titles up her sleeves-one of which was exhibited at Sarawak museum recently!
Weng Yow, new law grad, election observer in 10thSarawak state elections-spent weeks in Sebuyau. Ardent campaigner for democratic change!



Ooi Thean Poh, semi-retired electrical engineer -formerly involved in Batang Ai dam project; First casualty in the filming project: injured his thumb by falling rocks!

Ng Chak Ngoon, most senior crew member, took most photos in the 1st expedition. A practising geologist in KL; 2nd casulty in the filming project: blisters developed on his legs after too much walking!
(These last 2 are shown in the picture where they took a romantic candle light dinner in one of the Bengoh villages, where there is no electricity supply.)

Producer:
Ong BK, Election observer for 10th Sarawak state election. Based in Penang. Picked up by Sarawak Immigration Department on 1st trip to Bengoh dam and put on a 1-way trip out of Sarawak under mysterious circumstances! Is there Something to hide in the Bengoh dam affected villages? Had done a few award winning films before.

Technical assistant:
Arul Prakesh and his KOMAS gang. They are running the annual Freedom Film Fest for many years now and eying to screen this film for the FFF 2011!

Local guides:

Without the dedicated support from the 2 local guides the film can never be made!
