FEATURING Malaysian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Agilan Thani, a.k.a Alligator, the inspirational short series by ACE pictures, is inspired by true events.
Alligator plays himself in the series – which shares the name as the former ONE Welterweight World title challenger – telling the story of how he went from a bullied overweight boy to the fighter he is today.
Winning the grand award in the web videos category of Television & Corporate Media Awards 2021 at the 22nd World Media Festival in Hamburg, Germany, is a historic win for ACE Pictures, a subsidiary of ACE Holdings Berhad.
The World Media Festival honours and celebrates excellence in television, corporate film, online and print productions from around the world. This year’s festival received 811 entries from 41 nations.
The 2021 Hall of Fame is divided into two categories: the Television & Corporate Media Awards and the Tourism & Travel Media Awards. Tourism Malaysia's ‘AMAZING’ won The Special Award for Best Camerawork at the latter awards.
Alligator’s series is one of three short stories produced as part of ACE Group’s corporate branding.
The other two videos focus on GT race car driver Zen Low and drone-racer Amir Haziq. While the former is still being worked on, the second is available to be viewed on ACE Group’s official YouTube channel.
The three videos have been the company’s focus as it goes through the pandemic, but they remain focused on returning to international film productions.
They hope to bring productions from around the world to Malaysia to boost the local filming industry. – The Vibes, July 6, 2021
