Aku, Ayah dan Muzik brings fresh perspective to local film scene
Published on: Friday, July 04, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 04, 2025 Text Size: Hanis and the film's production team. KOTA KINABALU: Sabahan director Hanif Jeff has made his mark with Aku, Ayah dan Muzik , a supertelefilm that offers a fresh take on local storytelling. The 29-year-old filmmaker's work centres on Noah, a young man's emotional journey to find his estranged father in Sabah. Advertisement Featuring actors such as Fimie Don, Enn Xaviera, AD Vico and Jovenea Jim, the film blends family themes with a strong cultural backdrop. Its soundtrack, Bisikan Waktu , mixes traditional Sabahan instruments with modern music to enhance the film's emotional depth. Originally a short film finalist in the BMW Shorties, Hanif expanded the story to explore heavier themes like grief and identity. He described the supertelefilm as a personal 'redemption' to revisit ideas he had omitted due to time constraints in the original version. The story draws inspiration from Hanif's own life and reflects family dynamics in Sabah, including reconnecting across religious divides. Filmed in locations such as Kota Kinabalu, Kota Belud and Kundasang, it highlights both the natural beauty and emotional stillness of Sabah. Hanif said the project faced financial constraints, with the team producing it on a tight budget and no profit, driven purely by passion. Production spanned about two months, with strong support from friends and crew who kept morale high despite occasional challenges. Fimie Don was cast as Noah after impressing Hanif in a music video, eventually exceeding expectations in bringing the role to life. Backed by a RM100,000 grant from Finas, the telefilm airs on TV1 and RTMKlik at 9pm tomorrow (Saturday), with Hanif eyeing future festivals and a full-length adaptation. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
