Experience at MALCS

As a filmmaker, I have to say that the study in Literacy and Cultural Studies has widened my insight into storytelling through film. It strengthened my ability in contextual reading which inspired me not only to tell an interesting story but to tell a story of our time. After graduation, I am in a position of multi-identity, or what people called “slasher”. I am a script writer, film producer, a college lecturer and an enterpriser. All those different identities can be concluded as “storyteller”.
