5) Ah Wing - Malaysia's Number 1 Salesman (2012) by Written and Directed by: Jin Lim (hitz.fm)
One man, in search for a humble bargain, and another, who hates a man in search for a humble bargain. This short depicts the things a salesman would go through just to close a sale.
This production was a 100% indie production and had no sponsors and no, Canon did not pay us or approach us to shoot a video for them. All characters were purely fictional and all for fun. We'd like to thank AJ Rafael for being such a sport and agreeing to be in this short!
