Ah Beng in Wonderland

Intro

An experimental-comedy short film about a disgruntled 'Ah Beng' who travelled to Malaysia to find his father after accidentally impregnating his girlfriend. The film was inspired by several clichéd tropes I found in many local films — I wanted to subvert those tropes in an absurd way while following a clichéd storyline.
