Interview by NOISE
A first glance in my email inbox and I saw the title which read “Artist Exposure” from a TV producer from NOISE named Emily. It was just usual for me to think that someone could have bumped into either of our websites and was interested to get a tee from us. I was right about the virtual way she got to know us but what we heard from her was the biggest surprise ever -- an interview! Our interview was scheduled for 3pm but things got a bit frustrating with calls didn’t get through and Emily wasn’t reachable. Thanks to Vanessa, Emily’s colleague back at the headquarters, who was helpful all the way in getting me in touch with Emily.
And, I’m about to tell you that the mini documentary created by her and the talented film maker, Damien, will be aired on ABC Channel Australia, and JayLim happens to be in it! There are so many things we wanted to ask them, like what the film is all about and how is it going to be edited, but at the same time I didn’t want to hear much cos my interest would soon die off. Emily was nice to tell us about the other designers who are in this project – some of them namely Orkibal and Bangkit from Malaysia – and JaylimDesign is number 30 in the list.
Plus, we're very impressed with the numbers: The mini documentary will be one-minute long, and broadcast in Australia on the ABC, but also on the Australia Network, broadcast to 21 million homes in 41 countries across Asia, the Pacific and the Indian subcontinent.
They (Emily and Dam) have been travelling alot and meeting with lots of great people in Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta and Thailand. Malaysia will be their last leg before they pack their bags and leave for Australia. I know you are eager to watch the documentary cos I am very much likely so I’ll keep you posted on when it’s out and when you can view it via vox or youtube.
After two hours of the interview and a photo session, we took them sight-seeing around our neighbourhood (the shooting was done at Jay’s little cozy room) and settled for Starbucks with Yamin from Don’t Panic who dropped by to say “hi” to our new friends. The interesting part of it all was that we all get a chance of getting into the lives of everybody on their careers and favourite pastimes, though not much. We hope to see them again some time soon!
