Where the movie came from
Don’t look at the demon was directed by Brando Lee, who grew up on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur on a steady diet of Hollywood movies like Jaws, The Exorcist, and Star Wars. Lee went on to study Film & TV at Columbia College and worked on several productions in Los Angeles.
He was the one who created Brando Studios B&L Creative, which produced a stream of theatrically released movies and TV projects in Malaysia. In addition, Lee co-founded Barnstorm, the company that Don’t look at the demon. According to IMDb, Lee’s previous directing credits include: Gangster Wars in 2013 and Chow Kit in 2012.
“There is a Ying and Yang in all my pursuits. I believe the world should have the good and the bad, both angels and evil beings. Essentially, it’s all about maintaining the balance of the universe. Intrigued by experiences I’ve been through, I began to explore the “them” around us. I’m thrilled to be able to bring my personal vision to the movie screen, with my first-hand experience putting a realistic spin on a typical property story,” said Lee.
According to The star, Don’t look at the demon is the first Malaysian film to be screened in the United States. In addition to the US, the film will be released in more than 20 countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Mongolia, Cambodia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Poland, and more. In the North American region alone, the film will be shown in more than 250 cinemas.
“With the worldwide release of Don’t look at the demon, I hope to inspire local producers to reach for the stars and continue to represent Malaysia on an international scale. The release of this film is not only my success, but it is the success of all of us in Malaysia, and I am immensely proud to set this benchmark and be proud of our country.”
