MeTV Malaysia Showcase — Nine Episodes for Nickelodeon Asia. Short interstitial broadcast content by LA featuring Malaysian kids and the stuff that matters to them.

In 2001, I was tasked with delivering several short “episodes” of MeTV for Nickelodeon Asia. I traveled through the region in and around Kuala Lumpur to interview kids about specific topics we came up with. I had a super8 camera, a video camera, and I managed to jump into every situation with the aplomb necessary. I worked with a sound person and a producer to capture the moments but I was again on my own when I got back to Canada, got the film processed, and began to edit. I think it took me about one and a half days to edit each one of these.
