Pete Teo says he was inspired by a 30 minute newsreel he saw one year ago
Image via allmalaysia.infoI saw a 30 minute newsreel more than a year ago. Shot at Malaya’s Independence ceremony, the archive film was in poor repair yet the spirit captured was unmistakable. I was struck by how people’s faces were more open then, how proud their eyes were and upright their stance - especially when held spellbound by Tunku Abdul Rahman.
harimalaysia.comTo the extent that modern Malaysia is now a mixed bag of beauty and filth, I began to wonder if Tunku was alive today what he would make of us. I concluded that perhaps it would do us good to listen to him again. Thus an idea began to take shape...
harimalaysia.comIt occurred to me that I should make a time machine: a temporal device to transport Malaysia back to the days of its founding. In times of heightened political, religious and racial tension, perhaps time-traveling to where we began would be good. It might remind us of our greater commonality instead of our petty differences.
harimalaysia.comCasting took place in the frantic days leading up to the 2013 General Election and principal photography shortly after it. From then forward, it only remained that we honor the memory of Tunku by doing the best work we can.

“We had to find somewhere we could control. Like a studio, but it could not be expensive due to the duration...we settled on a house whose owner gave us permission to set up for the production."
