A YOUNG copywriter’s ability to conceptualise the feeling of frustration into music has won him the “Best Original Music Award” at Malaysia’s first international film festival for youths.
Yaashdev Sasidharan, 26, who won the award at the Limkokwing International Youth Film Festival, said it was challenging to create music that conveyed something abstract like a specific emotion or thought.
The two-and-a-half-minute movie is about a music director finding inspiration to create a song from a leaky faucet that had initially disrupted his creative process.

CYBERJAYA: National Film Development Corporation (Finas) chairman Zakaria Abdul Hamid says it is the personal right of any artiste to be involved in politics. Anyone can be involved in politics and join political parties, whether government or opposition, he said after attending the International Youth Film Festival here on Wednesday (April 7).
He was commenting on the recent announcement by a few artistes, such as actor and comedian Datuk Afdlin Shauki, and rapper Syed Ahmad Syed Abdul Rahman Alhadad (better known as Altimet), that they had joined PKR.
However, he said that appropriate boundaries should be maintained, and that politics should not be brought into the filming industry.
