    This podcast is an extension of a movie, that is still in production.  Read more about why we’re doing this here: https://move8warrior.medium.com/the-kurang-manis-podcast-5c4e0e3ac4f9.  This recording was recorded on pitch day at the Motion Picture Association Asia Pacific Script to Screen Workshop Pitch Competition co-organised with Wildsnapper Films and FINAS held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in Feb 2019. Voices in this pitch include judges of the competition:  • Zabrina Fernandez, Wildsnapper Films (facilitator)  • U-Wei Haji Saari, film director    • Stephen Jenner, VP Communications APAC Motion Picture Association  • Jason Van Genderen, filmbreaker & creative agitator  -- Since the film project has been delayed due to a certain pandemic, and with movement restricted in Kuala Lumpur, the producers decided to push on with this podcast, and keep the work going to spread awareness about health and wellness, in particular about non-communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, lung diseases, cancers, Alzeheimers and dementia. We call this Mission 2030 and our goal is to halve NCDs by year 2030 in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
