Just realized that I haven’t updated this site in ages. A lot has happened since the last post, which was written in Kuala Lumpur a month after the premier of “Pecah Lobang” in Malaysia.

In mid-December last year, I packed my life in two suitcases (once again) and headed west of Southeast Asia to New Delhi. It’s the best conscious decision that I made in 2008. And since then, life’s been one helluva combination of fulfilling work, sometimes bizarre but interesting travels, a few good adventures and some bumps along the way no doubt, and some pretty amazing surprises.

As for the film “Pecah Lobang,” I haven’t been actively sending it to festivals. Reasons: Been busy. And when free, been procrastinating.

And so I was extremely delighted when out of the blue, it was picked up by the Social Justice Film Festival in Seattle last April, and beyond surprised that it will soon be heading to my favorite city; possibly the most beautiful, kind, diverse and sexually liberal and accepting city in the world — San Francisco. (It’s hard not to get all excited and nostalgic, as I spent one of the best years of my life, so far, in the Bay Area.)

The film, which is listed as “Pecah Lobang (Busted)” for the non-Malaysian film circuit, is screening at the 33rd Frameline LGBT International Film Festival on June 24. It will be showcased alongside three other foreign LGBT films under “Global Queers.”

So if you’re in the Bay Area end of June, and for some reason happen to be free on the last Wednesday of the month at 2:15 p.m., please come for the screening. (If you skip work for it, you’ll get brownie points and lots of good karma.) There is supposed to be a discussion of sorts after the film.

So, come one, come all. See ya in the Castro.

Venue: Castro Theatre

Date: June 24, 2009 (Wednesday)

Time 2:15 p.m.

PS. Dear friends in Delhi, I’m trying to get it screened here too. We’ll see. Fingers, toes crossed.
