"TRUS MADI"

Year: 2023

Azmi "Thor" is a prominent figure in the Sabah film industry, renowned for his significant contributions as many roles in film technical team and a key production force like SINAKAGON, THE RISE OF LION, ONCE UPON A TIME IN TAMPARULI, MANTERA and many more. His touch has been instrumental in shaping the local filmmaking landscape, helping to bring authentic Sabah stories to life on screen.

This short documentary is truly a passion project, holding a special and deeply personal meaning for him as its scriptwriter, cinematographer, and director. It’s more than just a film; it’s a heartfelt journey to the mountaintop, where every step of the climb is a step closer to the soul of the land.

Through his lens, he doesn't just capture the breathtaking landscape, but also the emotional connection he forged with the local people. It's a beautiful narrative that weaves together the physical challenge of the climb with the warmth and spirit of the community, creating a truly moving and unforgettable experience.

Shout out to FINAS Malaysia for giving him a support as local film maker.
