Projek Pop

It all started with a short film I did in 2010 starring Adam Sinclair & Lisa Surihani. Projek Pop The Series is the brainchild of Adam & I, together with Kroll & Alfie Palermo we developed it into a series. With the short film in tow, we pitched this idea to 8TV. The 1st time big boss Ahmad Izham Omar saw it, he said, “I like it.” After 18 months of relentless pitching, he saw it again and said those 3 words (again), “I like it.”

STOP TEASING US! 

OK we didn’t tell him that, but this time it was for real.

Adam shaved his head, I trimmed my nose hair & Kroll quit smoking (for a day).

The 10 Episodes is set in ONE DAY, happening in real time, so to speak. From the bands & groups soundchecking to the actual concert. It is about the people involved in making a concert. A concert second to none: PROJEK POP.

The concert is much like Rock The World or Urbanscapes, with indie rock bands and hip hop groups headlining it. The show is littered with cameos by musicians and celebrities appearing as themselves. Inspired by movies like Almost Famous, This is Spinal Tap we aimed to make this show to be Malaysia’s own version of Entourage. Being in the hip hop group Phlowtron circa 1998-2004, we performed in all sorts of venues from small clubs to arena sized venues. So you can say a lot of the dramatization is based on my experiences. Though, exaggerated (watak-watak fiksyen di dalam cerita ini adalah rekaan semata-mata, tidak ada kena mengena yang hidup atau mati)

The behind the scenes drama:  Hujan band and their manager (Iedil Putra), a rockstar (Josiah Hogan) & his internationally famous band (Hot Snow), the 3 Hot Snow bandmates (Pidosan Karim, Ridzalmann & Aliff STB), the rockstar’s girlfriend (Cristina Suzanne Stockstill), the web tv reporter (Nadia Aqilah) & her cameraman (Alfred Loh), the Hot Snow roadies (Nas Muammar & Kimy Najib), the schoolkids pontenging to attend the concert (Syafie Naswip & Juzzthinx), the unscrupulous concert organizer (Hansen Lee) & his assistant (Eva Emmanyna), the bouncer with a heart of gold (Megat Shahrizal), the unfulfilled host (Anita Woo) & her famous actor boyfriend (Fairil Desa).

Good lookin out to all who helped us out with this. I am forever indebted. (I will do your dishes.)

Projek Pop is a labour of love from us at Phuture Phlow and 8TV, we hope you’ll love it as much as we do.
