Naman Ramachandran Malaysian filmmaker Woo Ming Jin is set to present his English-language debut “The Camford Experiment” at Busan‘s Asian Project Market.
The social horror film, co-written with producer Gerry Kim, explores themes of Asian identity and racial stereotypes in Western society.
Woo, known for films like “Tiger Factory” and “Stone Turtle,” which won an award at Locarno, drew inspiration from his experiences as a member of a minority community in Malaysia and the U.S. “I’ve always felt like an outsider, never belonging anywhere,” Woo said. “I wanted to address something closer to me, which is the perception of Asians in the western world, particularly the U.S.” The film centers on Aiden Rhee, a basketball star at a boarding school that brainwashes students into believing racial hierarchies.
Woo aims to challenge Asian social stereotypes and portray the consequences of defying societal expectations. “The Camford Experiment” began its journey at the 2023 International Financing Forum at the Toronto International Film Festival.
