The Soulful Filmmaker
"Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all."
(Stanley Kubrick - American filmmaker, 1928-1999)
This is a portrait of Abdul Zainidi who is a Bruneian filmmaker, writer and actor.
Abdul studied his craft in Paris.
In 2013 he became the first Bruneian to be selected into the Cannes film festival short film corner with "TELUKI", a film he wrote. produced and shot which is a sort of Peter Piper dark fairy tale from Brunei.
In 2014 he made a full length feature film called "OSTRICH" which is Brunei's first low budget psychological horror film and it's prequel, a short film called "TELUKI", premiered at Alliance Francaise Brunei in February.
Abdul Zainidi has since been diverse in his film genre, branching out into expérimental, comedy,horror and even LGBT themed short films.
In 2013 he made Brunei's first short film about cross dressing called "GAGAK dan MERAK" and in 2014 he made a very controversial short film about the drag queen scene in Brunei, called "HARAM QUEEN".
His current theatrical projects include a short play about a parallel universe called "ANGGUR" which he collaborated with Alliance Francaise Brunei and was staged in February 2014.
This year apart from promoting his films he plans to shoot a horror film in Paris and a short play as well.
He is also the creator of the BRUNEI IN PARIS surreal webseries and working on a children’s book.

This picture belongs to a series where Abdul has been showing his acting skills through a wide palette of colourful and soulful expressions.
It was a very pleasant and creative photo shoot.
