Dear all,

Taylor’s University Book Club would like to extend an invitation to all Taylorians to come join us for a scripting talk with Khairil M. Bahar.

Here’s a little background info regarding the speaker:

Born in the Philippines and raised in England, Khairil has been in love with the movies since he first saw ‘Back to the Future’ and made his name on the local indie film scene with his debut feature film ‘Ciplak’ which was shot on a shoestring budget of RM10,000 and won him the Anugerah Skrin in 2006 for ‘Best Alternative Film’.

Since then Khairil has worked on television shows such as ‘Dark City’ and ‘Ghost: Season 2’, shot music videos for a number of local acts such as Dragon Red and Soft Touch and is currently in post-production for his next feature film ‘Relationship Status’ starring Gavin Yap, Davina Goh, Susan Lankester, Daphne Iking, Tony Eusoff, Baki Zainal, Ruzana Ibrahim, Amanda Ang, Adeline Ong, Alfred Loh, Shuba Jay, Benji Lim, Will Quah and Pete Teo. The film is due for an early January release.

When not making films he plays guitar in blues rock band ‘Rollin Sixers’ who recently released their debut album which he produced and engineered and has also been involved in the local theatre scene in shows such as ‘Jambalaya’, ‘Short and Sweet’, ‘Lost and Found’, ‘Life Sdn Bhd 6: Abuse’ and ‘Bars and Bedrooms’.

Details of the talk:

Day/Date: Wednesday, 28th September 2011

Venue: LT 3 (tentative)

For more information about Khairil, you can check out his website here.

The objective of this event is to expose Book Club members as well as other students to the world of writing and in particular, scriptwriting. We would like to invite you to an hour-long sharing session with Khairil in producing a script and what are the methods and processes that he usually uses when writing a script or any piece of written work.

With that being said, we hope to see y’all there! :) We assure you that this talk will be extremely insightful and you will definitely learn something out of it. Now, you wouldn’t miss such a golden opportunity, do you? ;)

Write 8 lines to form the most creative short story continuing from this sentence:

The princess heard the prince coming…

L1: and she said, ‘Oh my God!’ gaily.

L2: She looked out the window and saw him sparkling and she was attracted to him like the moth attracted to light.

L3: As the prince approached her, he saw a Basilisk slithering behind the princess.

L4: So he yelled heroically, “Princess, get behind me”.

L5: The princess instinctively ran and hid behind the glittering prince.

L6: The Basilisk saw his own reflection on the prince’s glittering visage and tragically fell to its untimely demise.

L7: The princess, acting quickly and unknowingly to the prince’s command, suddenly shrieked in terror, saying, “Nagini! What have you done to my pet snake?”

L8: “You stupid glittering, good-for-nothing prince!”

Congratulations Safinaz, Syazana, Muhammad, Priya and Tzu Ging! Hope you will enjoy the vouchers!
