These days, the Malaysian director and independent film pioneer James Lee had been uploading his works on his Youtube channel Doghouse73pictures . Both short films and feature films, from his earliest to his latest. Last month, in April, he uploaded his 2005 breakthrough film THE BEAUTIFUL WASHING MACHINE (one of the seminal films of the Malaysian New Wave) in its entirety . Today, in conjunction with its screening at the CineMalaysia in Tokyo (a new film festival that is showing only Malaysian films), James has uploaded his 2009 gangster film CALL IF YOU NEED ME 黑夜行路 online for us all to see.

The guy in yellow and seated in the background is actor Shaheizy Sam, reading the script) Last year, I made a passing mention that I was involved in a TV shoot for a series of 5-minute episodes called Buddyz . The series started airing last June .
