DREAM

Samantha, an ordinary girl whose dream is to be part of the cinema industry, the industry whereby everyone is attracted. Her dream is not to be an actress but to be the captain of the ship, which is to be a director.

Samantha is not from a well-being family who can afford to support her further studies. Her father is a taxi driver whose has to take care of the family consists five of them. Samantha is having a very loving family.

Even though she is unable to purse her higher studies in the field she wanted, she didn’t just sit there and waste her time. She did continue her studies in accounting. She work and pay for her studies.

She had a great passion for writing. It was her friends who have been so supportive and advice her to continue her studies in filming. She was writing since the age of eight.

At her age now (22), her friends have finished their degree but Samantha just completed her Advanced Level which is equivalent to a diploma. After completing her Advanced she applied for a job in Kuala Lumpur (KL).

She knows nothing about KL and also not sure where she will be staying. Samantha is actually taking a risk to achieve her dream. She went there a week before her commencement date. This is to arrange a place for her to stay.

She straightaway meets her friend Angel at the Pudu Raya bus station, an angelic friend she is. Angel offered her place to Samantha, since she is staying alone. Samantha already has sketched a plan for her dream.

For one whole day Samantha didn’t sleep. She was thinking what she must do to reign her dream. She is only having two options:
1. Further her studies in filming, which will costs around RM 60-70K
2. To join a director as assistant.

Samantha prefers the second but still she don’t have any experience. The more she thinks, the more she get confuse.

The next day itself she went to meet a Malaysian director, Mr Mark, with whom she had already fixed an appointment before step in KL. Angel followed her as a moral support.

Mr. Mark has already read her story and wanted to meet her. After the meet Samantha join Mr. Mark as his assistant. Samantha has already cleared to the director regarding her position and her work.

That wasn’t a problem for Mr. Mark. During day, she joins Mr. Mark whereas in the night she was at her office, shift job, and she took night shift.

After three years being an assistant, Samantha has confidence to direct her own movie. She was a bit confused to decide which story she wanted to direct. She spends two days for that and finally she chooses the story which she not yet write. The story, The Almighty wrote for her. It’s her own life story.

She gathered her team. First of all she had cleared them that this is not for profit purpose. She finances herself for this project. The reason was she feels that this story will hardly return the investment, that’s why she didn’t approach any producers.

Few months later, her project called ‘DREAM’ is completed. It was premiers at selected cinemas.




But did ‘DREAM’ do well in cinemas? Did Samantha get back
her investment? Did she become as a successful director?
What happen to Samantha after directing and producing that
movie?


These are the few questions wondering around. The answers…
