Little Background on the director (courtesy of Wikipedia)
Yasmin Ahmad began her career in advertising as a copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather, eventually rising to creative director at Leo Burnett Kuala Lumpur. Her television commercials are well-known in Malaysia -- particularly her ads for PETRONAS, the national oil and gas company.
Yasmin's films have won many international awards and praise from the critics and public alike. Most of her films have been screened at the Berlin, San Francisco, Singapore and Cannes (film market) international film festivals. Her films were featured in a special retrospective[1] at the 19th Tokyo International Film Festival in October 2006. An April 2007 retrospective[2] of her feature films was sponsored by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, University of Hawaii, and the Honolulu Academy of Arts.
