Iskander dan Feisal will continue to produce high-quality films with a low budget
21 Jan – Young producer and director Iskander Azizuddin and Feisal Azizuddin are of the opinion that the guidelines of the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia (LPF) need to be revamped and updated as they are no longer relevant for the current times.
According to Feisal Azizuddin, co-founder and producer of Feisk Productions, these guidelines by LPF are not keeping up with the times and hence, are a hindrance to the creative processes of young filmmakers and indie makers. What I can say is that these existing guidelines by LPF are stale and are no longer relevant for these current times. It becomes an obstacle to young filmmakers and indie makers to be creative because they need to adhere to the very strict guidelines which at the same time, halt their creative thoughts in producing their work.
