It
is good to see that local films are jumping on the indie bandwagon. "CEO"(Chief
Executive Officer) scores several firsts, being new kid on the block ARAfilm's
first feature film production as well as the directorial debut of newcomer Razaiyam
Rashid.
Described
as a comedy with "quirky elements" by director, "CEO" also
marks his feature film.
CEO"
came about after Razaisyam entered a kickstarter reality show and being asked
about where he saw himself in five years started him thinking about directing a
feature film.
The
film's lead actors are Remy Ishak of "29 Februari" fame and Beto
Kusyairy of "Istanbul Aku Datang". CEO co-stars Cristina Suzanne
("KIL"), Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan and Deanna Yusoff. Before he wrote the
script, Razaisyam already had his dream cast in mind, especially the lovely and
talented Deanna.
Without
being too much of a spoiler, CEO is about Adam (Ishak) the CEO of a successful
corporate empire while Sufian (Kusyairy) is a happy go lucky pizza boy whose
only aim in life is to play pool after work. In a freak accident their worlds
collide that results in Sufian exchanging places with Adam. Having lost
everything, Adam is determined to unravel the mystery behind his misfortune.
Filming
began on 15 June 2013 around Kuala Lumpur for 25 days, for an expected release
date in 2014.
