Rogue & Rebel Studio gets youngsters pumped for their career

Film and movies are powerful storytelling tools. In Multimedia University (MMU) at EduCity, Iskandar Puteri, budding filmmakers flocked to learn some insight from Rogue & Rebel Studio about the industry and how to stick with the field that they are passionate about even after graduating.

Rozinor briefs on Rogue & Rebel Studio’s project to MMU first year students

Rozinor Razali or Ajin disclosed that it is tough for Malaysian film students to sustain their interests and passion in filmmaking after graduating as they often land in jobs that are out of the industry. This is the sort of brain drain that Ajin is trying to tackle by enriching the knowledge of the young filmmakers and help them see more options by going independent.
