Here is the trailer for Malaysia's first English language musical comedy, "Sell Out!" (or $E11.0u7!). The film is directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Yeo Joon Han and stars Jerrica Lai, Peter Davis, Kee Thuan-chye, Lim Teik-long, Wong Wai-hoong, Lee Szu-hung, Hannah Lo.
The film is basically about creativity versus commercialism, and poses the questions - Should we sell out to get rich? Or do we follow our moral principle and stay poor? Rafflesia Pong (Jerrica Lai) is a bottom-ranking arts show host who’s disillusioned with 'those over-rated underachievers we call artists'. When her arts show isn’t bringing in the ratings, she comes up with the idea for a reality show about people who are about to die. However, she finds it difficult to get dying people for her new show. Meanwhile, Eric Tan (Peter Davis) builds an all-in-one soya bean machine, but his two bosses are more interested in how much money they can make out of it.
