Northern Exposure

On the 6th of October, Gilamon we’re invited by Cathay Cineplexes Sdn Bhd for a talk up in their Penang Prangin Mall cineplexes. Titled “Up Close with Gilamon”, the talk was held in one their newly opened cinema halls. Lefty and Michael were there addressing to an almost packed hall of comics/design enthusiasts. Apart from telling about Gilamon’s background and future projects, we also shared about character development in a story. The crowds were far more responsive than we anticipated, which was a good thing. We had so much fun chatting after the session that the management have to break us up because they have to start the movie.

Gilamon would like to thank Joanne of Cathay Cineplexes Sdn Bhd for her persistent in organizing this event, also for Kwong Hwa Daily’s excellent media coverage and Sunday Hotel’s accommodation.
