Kerana Karina on DVD Now!

Kinda late on this one, but in case you didn't know, the first season of "Kerana Karina" is now out on DVD! And apart from the feature film, there's also a photo gallery, Marsha's "Yang Mana?" music video and a pretty cool "Making Of" feature.

The DVD is cheaply priced at RM16.90 and from what I've heard, we've managed to sell some 1,500 copies so far. Pretty decent indeed! So get your copy now, ok?

Kerana Karina - The Party!

A special viewing party of Kerana Karina was held on Tuesday night at the swanky Saujana in Subang. The invitees included contest winners, GUA members, press and of course the cast and crew of Kerana Karina. On the agenda was the presentation of the Malaysia Book of Records to GUA.COM.MY for producing "The first online drama series". Yes, it's official now. Woohoo!

Guests were also shown the first and the last three episodes, making them the first in the world to view the final episode of Kerana Karina.

For entertainment, Marsha belted the theme song "Yang Mana?" while Ally Iskandar MCed the whole event.

Overall, it was a memorable event that also celebrated GUA's third month anniversary. When we started GUA and Kerana Karina, I never expected such success in a short period of time. Up to episode 18, KK has recorded 520,000 views while GUA has amassed a total of 12 million page hits in the 3 months we've been in existence!

Best of all, we've built a community which is active, loyal and always happening. Currently GUA has an incredible 45,000 registered members... and counting!

To say that I'm over the moon is a gross understatement...

Some of the food sections were named after KK characters. Mmmm...

Kerana Karina has 2 more episodes to go, so we were on Malaysia Hari Ini to plug it as usual : ) It was a lively session with Roslan, Marsha and Sazzy constantly bantering and even exchanging "in-jokes". But a bit too short, though. Bummer. But I did manage to get the message out and we're expecting healthy numbers for the last 2 episodes. And tomorrow's the exclusive viewing party for the final ep at Saujana, Subang. Woohoo!

Kerana Karina Theme Song In The Bag!

On Saturday night, the same time England were recording their upset win over Australia in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinal, the theme song for Kerana Karina (KK) was recorded at the cleverly-named Eargasm Studio in Sri Hartamas. Performed by the lead actress of KK Marsha herself, the still untitled song was composed and produced by Azmeer, with lyrics by none other than, um, me.

It all began just last week when Azmeer came by the office to discuss taking on the producing gig. A couple of days later, he had 2 tracks for us to choose from. We settled on the first option, an up-tempo tune with some catchy hooks which everyone agreed would suit the overall feel of KK and Marsha’s vocals.

That same night I went back and started working on the lyrics. And since I had written KK’s storyline, it was just a matter of adapting the same for the song. It took some 3 hours to complete everything and after some minor touchups the following morning, the lyrics were then emailed to Azmeer.

At the recording session, Marsha was a bit under the weather, but the vocals still sounded good. Great, in fact. And she got everything down in just under 3 hours.

The song will be released together with the drama by the end of the month and will also be available for download on http://www.gua.com.my/.

Kerana Karina Kicks Off!

A couple of days ago, shooting began for Kerana Karina (KK). In case you’re the ignorant sort, KK’s a piece of history in the making, ‘cos when it’s launched in early November, it’ll be the first ever Malaysian made-for-web drama series. And it can only be viewed on http://www.gua.com.my/. Very cool indeed.

And how’s this for a powerhouse cast: Marsha Londoh (who plays the lead role), Zizan Nin, Elaine Daly, Razaly Hussein, Sazzy Falak, Alan Yun and first-time actor Roslan Aziz.

The original concept was mooted by my executive producer Michael who also came up with the title. And yours truly actually wrote the story. It took a couple of days, but once the creative juices flowed, the synopses for all 20 episodes came rather easily. And yes, this will be my first drama ever. A piece of personal history right there.

Anyway, KK’s about Karina (duh), the latest starlet in the music business who takes the industry by storm with her debut album. For Karina’s sophomore effort, the label boss (Roslan Aziz) decides to hire this hot shot producer with some overseas experience, Imran (Zizan Nin).

But turns out, Karina and Imran have some sort of “history” together and things get tricky from that point onwards…

Produced by Grand Brilliance, KK’s directed by this cool dude with a cool name, Aidil Fitri. Script's by Eenaz Mokhtar. Shooting should be done by 10th Oct and the PC has been slated for 23rd Oct.
