THE SLEEPING DICTIONARY
The biggest
International Film so far I’ve involved was “The Sleeping Dictionary” ,
shooting duration for almost six months, with a sizeable workforce which came
from various countries including US, UK, Ceylon, Phillipines, India, Indonesia,
Singapore and our local Malaysian productions crews.
I served under the Art
Department / Costume and Wardrobe Department as Costume Maker. In “ The
Sleeping Dictionary” I create an angel wings from feathers, which Jessica Alba
weared in one of her scene. In addition,I’m doing lots of bead embroidery for
necklaces, rotan (rattan) bracelets, etc for the ethnic group attired.
Synopsis:
During
the 1930s, British officer John Truscott (Hugh Dancy) journeys to a remote
village in colonial Malaysia to educate and Westernize the local Iban
population. There, he is introduced to Selima (Jessica Alba), a lovely Iban
woman. In keeping with tradition, Selima is assigned to sleep with
John and teach him the native language and customs. But when they begin to
fall in love, both the colonists and the natives object to their plans to marry
