Abstract

One Track Mind centers around the story of model railway enthusiast Thomas Bhat, and the friends he has made along the way. These men (henceforth referred to as Train Buddies) come from all walks of life – a retired banker, a retired handyman, an advertiser, an engineer, and an IT consultant – but they share a deep passion for their locomotives. In 13:17 minutes, One Track Mind explores how these miniature models captivate the men, and the lengths people will to for the things they love – even if no one else understands.

In the documentary, the brothers speak to Roger as he recounts good memories and regrets, reflecting on how the interactions with their father respectively shaped their individual decisions to take over the family business.

Abstract

BUANG BAYI – Behind the Baby Hatch is a 15-minute documentary focusing on baby abandonment in Malaysia. As a result of the shame, women give birth and leave their babies by the roadside, in bushes, or even thrown in bins. In worse cases, babies are found in toilets or washed up along the river. In 2015, 104 babies were abandoned throughout Malaysia. Over half of these babies were found dead. BUANG BAYI delves into the socio-cultural reasons of baby abandonment, explores the baby hatch as a solution in alleviating the problem and discusses what can be done to resolve this issue.
