"ODOI ODU" big winner in Astro Kirana Short Film Award

Congratulations to Farizie bin Morinding on his aspiring "Odoi Odu (Oh Grandma" short film which was the big winner last nite on Astro Kirana Short Film Award. I am so proud of him and as a Sabahan myself I wish him a very fruitful career ahead. Indeed It's nice and proud to see another Sabahan won an award in this industry.

After the award ceremony, which was live telecast in astro kirana channel, I watched his film and I was so amazed on the performance of the 'odu' character. As if there were no camera in front of her, and doing and acting so brilliantly. One will really inspired and awed by watching that film albeit Dusun language was used in the dialogue. Once again, Congratulations 'Odoi Odu'.
