finally, the moment you've all been waiting for...

2009-05-22T11:29:00.005+10:00

THE SCREENING PHOTOS ARE HERE!!

*throws confetti around*

...Well, the first one, at least.

For the record, we simply have TOO MANY good photos, and our two lovely photographers are doing all they can in organizing and editing those photos to make them look even more awesome for public viewing. That is why the photo updates have been a tad bit too slow. But rest assured, the rest of the photos will be up soon, we promise. Just be patient. :)

Okay, here we go!

in case you don't know where the venue for the Melbourne screening is..

2009-05-07T20:42:00.006+10:00

View Larger Map

Just walk along Swanston Street, stop at around Melbourne Town Hall, and look across. Or simply pay more attention to your surroundings and look for the spot marked by the letter 'A' as indicated in the map above.

The venue's name is RMIT Capitol Theatre.

If you come from Flinders Street station, the venue will be located on your left-hand side, just after you walk across Collins Street. Conversely, if you walk along Swanston Street from Melbourne Central or QV, the theatre will be on your right-hand side, opposite Melbourne Town Hall.

Still confused?
Just give one of us a ring and we'll help you get there!
The contact numbers are on the left sidebar, as usual.

Oh, and don't forget to grab your tickets NOW, if you haven't done so already.

See you at the screenings, guys! :)

...remember this?

2009-05-07T19:05:00.001+10:00

Did you go to this movie's screenings?
Did you love it?
Did you wish there would be a DVD of the movie?
And do you want to own a piece of Kado Kendo?

Well, if all of the above applies to you, then brace yourselves, peeps.

'Cuz the Official DVD of "Kado Kendo" is OUT NOW!
Yeah. Amazing stuff indeed.

"Kado Kendo" was the very first movie project ever done by REACH Production, and the movie was a major success when it was screened in 2007 in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth.
If you loved the movie then, this DVD is a must-have.

The DVDs will be on sale on all three screening days of "PELANGI" The Movie, straight after each session!
And to add to the excitement, it ONLY costs a mere $10 for one copy of the DVD!
Pretty good deal, eh?

So be sure to keep your eyes open for the selling stand of the DVDs when you come out of the screening theater, all giddy and satisfied after watching the movie, we hope.
*grins*

See you at the screenings! :)

start counting, NOW!

2009-05-06T15:34:00.003+10:00

OMG you guys, it's already THREE DAYS before the screenings!

Have you bought your tickets?
Have you secured your places?

Well, if you haven't, then GET 'EM NOW, fellas! :)

The tickets cost $10 each if you buy them before the screenings.
If you wanna get them at the venue, provided there are still some spare tickets left, it's gonna cost you $12 each.

Why pay more then when you can get 'em for a cheaper price now?

So come on, come on!
Get your tickets now and be prepared.

We'll see you at the screenings! :)

Regards,
PELANGI team

"But I must not lose faith;

I have to believe that everything happens for a reason.

For every problem, there is a solution.
For every question, there is an answer.

I also know that there's always a reason for everything that happens in my life.

So I should not be scared.

I should not worry."

maids just wanna have fun...?

2009-05-01T23:50:00.005+10:00

Tee-hee.
*grins*

these strong, determined ladies may spend half their time getting up close and personal with stoves, kitchen benches, and toilet bowls, but that doesn't automatically turn them into, say, social outcasts, so to speak.

In fact, they put so much effort into striving to perform their daily house chores consistently and effectively during the week that they take their downtime pretty seriously whenever it comes around.

Of course there's nothing wrong with wanting to indulge in the luxury of having nothing to do. The thought of getting a day or two at the end of each week all for themselves -- a time when they can just chill and let off some steam while at the same time they try to keep up with whatever is going on the local maid community, is just too good to resist.

Yeah. You got that right.

So what exactly do our sophisticated, uber-cool, high-profile uptown maids get into whenever they're not scrubbing sinks and mopping windows and whatnot?

Why, socializing, of course!

Life can sometimes be tough, but in the end there's always a reason to smile.
Agreed? :)

That said, you can go under their skin and get a glimpse of the daily struggles they go through everyday by watching "PELANGI": The Movie!

Tickets for the screenings are out now! Grab them NOW, for $10 each.

You know the drill; the contact persons are listed on the left sidebar.
Give 'em a call, or something. They're getting restless as we speak.

But then again, so are the rest of us!
*shivers at the thought*

Seven days and counting...

these guys may not be thoroughly boyband-style-dancing material..

2009-04-28T22:30:00.005+10:00

...yet they'll be doing A LOT MORE than that in the movie!

Curious?
Grab your tickets now for $10 each!

Contact persons are listed on the left sidebar.

Time is of the essence now, guys.

The screening dates are getting nearer and nearer, and we believe you guys are beginning to feel restless, all excited and hyped up to go and see the movie.

Well, you gotta trust us on this one: you guys are not the only ones feeling so.
*grins*

Go ahead and secure your seats, if you haven't done so already.
Your time's running out!

Eleven days and counting...

...meet PELANGI.

A simple girl with a big heart, this sincere girl comes from a poor family in rural Indonesia.

She's cheery, funny, and bubbly. Her down-to-earth persona overflows with positivity and optimism, and she views her life as a long, valuable journey full of amazing surprises. She brings along with her a sense of pure happiness whenever she goes, a trait that her friends and acquaintances acknowledge as being a natural talent that defines her.

Having spent her entire life living in a small rural village, at first she wasn't used to the overwhelming stress that comes with living in a foreign city. Her innocence often defies her; she can be naive and extremely accepting at times, yet at the same time this is what keeps her going, as her perseverance and positivity have their roots in her sense of selfless virtue.

Among her most valuable possessions is her precious diary, in which she records her personal recollections of memorable moments and events to help her get through each day. She regards the diary as her faithful friend and never fails to write her journal entries daily.

She's focused, determined, and hardworking. She fights for her dreams, strives for the best, and is not afraid to fail. She believes that everything happens for a reason, and she knows that no matter how tough her life is, her existence serves a great, noble purpose.

She can cook. She's adept at writing. She takes care of her chores meticulously. Yes, she may be careless, but many say that's part of her charm.

And boy can she clean.
Hand her a mop and a bucket of sanitized water and she's good to go.
*laughs*

Dying to know more about our girl?
Then join us and catch her on the big screen!

The tickets are on sale NOW, single-priced, $10 each. There are three screening sessions altogether, so kindly choose whichever is most convenient, if you will.

Check the left sidebar for the list of available contact persons. Otherwise, book your tickets through our charming crew members who may be part of your social circle whenever, wherever. They'll be more than happy to help you.

SO GRAB YOUR TICKETS NOW!

We'll see you at the screenings. :)

Love,
PELANGI

her beautiful name is written across the soft, gleaming sand...

2009-04-20T00:39:00.005+10:00

...so to speak.

That artsy piece right there *points of image above* was the outcome of just one out of many creative - sometimes freaky - things our faithful, hardworking crew members came up with when going through their breaks in between takes.

Well, other than desperately trying to stay warm and not get hypothermia, of course.

That's just what's bound to happen when you try shooting beach scenes, at the beach (d-duh!), at the very peak of winter.

But that was exactly what we did!
And, thank God, we survived, frostbite-free. *winks*

FYI, when shooting their parts, the cast members had to wear conventional Indonesian high-school uniforms. You know, the usual white shirt and the gray, ruffly skirt?

We all know for a fact that other than being universally-known as extremely dull and uncool as far as teenage fashion goes, this infamous white-and-gray ensemble also lacks enough provision of the adequate level of protective warmth needed to survive the gloomy days of winter. It certainly is a far cry from the kind of stuff one would normally wear to ward off frosty winter chills and the like.

Go figure.

For your point of comparison, this was what our crew members typically bundled themselves up in.

And this was what our main actresses had to wear during their scenes.

Yeah. That really puts things into perspective doesn't it?

Can you imagine how COLD and FREEZING they must've felt?
Where are those fancy wool coats and portable heaters when you need them?

But no, not even once did they complain. They went through their scenes professionally, regardless of the extremely unwelcoming weather. Their only shield against the chill was a bright-blue towel that crew members wrapped around them whenever they finished doing a scene. That, and the occasional sudden presence of a spare jacket, sometimes provided by fellow crew members as a token of genuine kindness, at other times possibly seized by force. *laughs*

"Am I holding this light-reflecting device thingy right?"

Oh, a random fact: We even came across a stray jellyfish!

Poor thing wanted to join the shoot, perhaps?
You may not make the cut for the movie, not so we hope, but we're putting you up here! :)

At the end of the day, it all wasn't so much about how perfect the resulting shots were as it was about how important and memorable all the little moments that happened in between were to all of us personally.

The experiences we gained are just priceless.
And we mean that. Sincerely.

There you go, fellas.
Enough said. *smiles*

And yeah.
We do hope the actual stuff you'll all get to see in the screening will be as good as we really want them to be. We've put our hearts into trying to make this movie a memorable and meaningful experience for you guys, and we hope we'll be able to achieve our targets and get the messages across.

Be sure to watch out for more updates, only on this blog.

yet another reason why you really should go and watch this movie...

...TICKETS FOR THE MOVIE ARE ON SALE NOW!!

Yeah. I know.
Exciting, right?

The complete list of dates and locations of all the available Melbourne sessions are provided on the left sidebar of this blog. Kindly choose whichever session that suits you best.

And just so you know, it's completely okay to pick more than one session to go to if you wish to do so. *hint hint*

Anyway.
There will be a total of three screenings in two days. And to be able to show up at the screening nights -- as presentable and slick as you all wish to be, with no hassle or mini-sized fine print whatsoever -- and watch this spectacular movie, you only have to fork out a mere TEN DOLLARS from your pockets!

...Oh, that's ten dollars for one ticket, of course.
Just thought we'd clear that up.

The tickets are single-priced, by the way; that means ten dollars apiece for every session of choice! How amazing is that, fellas? :)

Queries regarding ticket purchases and pickups as well as other stuff related to these issues can be directed to Mila (0433191928) or Adit (0422038138). Don't hesitate to buzz these friendly fellas, guys; they don't let people publish their phone numbers for no reason. *grins*

Otherwise, if you happen to know one, or even some, of the members of our sweetly-sensational crew lineup *wink wink*, just come up to them and, like, bombard them with questions and ask them for assistance whenever necessary. We're sure they'll be more than happy to help you. Anything to make you guys happy. :)
And for your convenience, screening tickets can be ordered through these lovely peeps as well. So go ahead!

Also, you can send us e-mails!
Please be kind and generous enough to give a better and hopefully more flattering meaning to our rookie online existence by sending your feedback, questions, fanmails *cough cough*, or any other concerns related to this blog and whatnot to pelangimovie@hotmail.com.

So, yeah.
