Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Prolific Philippines-based Epicmedia Productions has come on board “The Passport,” a Malaysian coming of age story about a Tamil family and their punk rock daughter.
Production is by Malaysia’s Sixtymac Pictures. Currently at financing stage, the project will mark the directing debut of Ananth Subramaniam, whose short films have played at BiFan and Fantasia, and whose works explore his Tamil-ancestral identity and family within the context of a multi-layered genre.
The 1980-set narrative in “The Passport” is told from the perspective of Kalki, whose punk band is invited to perform in Europe.
When her whole family decides to tag along it ignites a clash of cultural expectations, in and out of the home. The project was previously pitched at Talent’s Tokyo, the BiFan IT Project Market, Full Circle Lab and Focus Asia All Genre Project Market and won the Bucheon Award at BiFan and the grand prize at the Bangkok ASEAN Film Festival SEAPITCH 2023.
