SAM TV



So I just made another 6 month disappearing act again! Hahahaa... No point of talking about the past, let's move forward and talk about what's coming!

Am busy doing a TV production at the moment. Not so much on the content, as 80% is already done, but very much on selling the concept to potential sponsors. Several TV channels have expressed their intent. But what a switch eh, from the marketing sales world to the branding world and now the much anticipated move, my passion all along, the movie world! ...well, TV first la.

Not trying to become like the Mawi World, but more like 'what's-going-on-with Azeril Zolle's head' World that kind of world la. My first TV series is very much targeting on youth, Malaysian youth for that matter. Had the pilot episode made end of last year and the responses have been positive and obviously some negatives as well, but hey! I'm cool. Personally, I'm not the 'Syok Sendiri' type coz I find a lot of moviemakers, locally, are very much into that and in the end the project flopped. So that's the reason I did a lot of surveys, sat down with the youth, watched them from far and near, just to get that honest to God opinion. Homework is very important.
You see, I'm also the type that can take criticism. I'm open.

"If it sucks, tell me it sucks God damn it!" , that kind of thing for me. After all, I believe, my audience are King. In other words, I hate ass-kissers. Very dangerous, they are. And honest to God people are cool, obviously, coz they save you from tonnes of stuff, money, time and energy.

Another thing for me is that, my TV series will be different. What's the point of doing the same thing what others have done right? Therefore, by being different, chances are it'll stand out from the rest. God! Feels like I'm doing a branding class here... Differentiate Or Die!!!

So niways, I would love to share more details on the TV series but for copyright purposes, I don't think it's a bright move if I do. Plus, besides youth, I'm also doing other TV programs, targeting the masses, kids and a brand new reality show! So in the mean time, I'll keep you guys on your toes and keep your fingers cross, SAM TV might be coming to your TV screen soon.. well, maybe end of this year or early 2009 la.. :(
