Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce our good friend, Maz Irwan Azani! Some call him Maz, others call him Irwan, but we’ve collaborated with him since the early days of our friendship and it is an honour for us to have him as our guest. In the first of this two-part interview, we’ll be looking into the beginning of his foray into filmmaking, from a humble beginning at Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan (ASWARA) to becoming an undergraduate at the Korea National University of Arts (K-ARTS). All this and more on the only film podcast in Bahasa Malaysia in the world to interview all their friends! (sooner or later)
