In this music film, a troubled boy LIVE streams a tribute concert that celebrates his favourite band, The Beatles. As the stream progresses, he unearths traumatic memories of his past in a tale of grief, loss and love, where past and future collide.

Starred by Badrish, he has worked with Dato’ Dr. Faridah Merican’s Life Sdn Bhd: Voices of the Young, and even co-wrote the stage adaptation of Yasmin Ahmad’s masterpiece film, Sepet the Musical. So, y’all know this is going to be amazing!

5. Eye On The Ball: A Sports Documentary

The true definition of  “against all odds”.’Eye on The Ball’ is a 2019 sports documentary film that follows Malaysia’s national blind football team, known as the Harimau Buta (Blind Tigers) and their remarkable journey in the 2017 ASEAN Para Games.

Detailing the lives of four individuals: players Asri, Kenchot and Rollen, along with their coach, Sunny Shalesh, the documentary covers the team’s hopes to defend their reigning title and also qualify for the World Blind Football Championship.

6. Trina in KL: Creative Masterclasses

If that’s not enough, KLoud Fest will also be delivering a series of enriching masterclasses, hosted by Malaysian actress Putrina Rafie, that help answer the questions we all want to know: How can I be funny? How do I dance like a pro? How can I take a bomb photo?

The masterclasses feature seasoned professionals sharing their craft, including actress Jo Kukathas, photographer Daniel Adams and makeup artist Hammada Bamadhaj.


Well, that’s the end of it and it sure sounds like a good time!
