IN BRIEF....
Burger Boy is a story about a struggling talented musician (dispatch boy by day / burger seller by night), who has devoted a significant part of his time & money trying to break into the glamorous music scene. Zul - who is out of luck, money & support, has only one dream and that is to be a professional musician/singer/performer.
Finally, just when he got his break in producing his own album, his dream got burnt to ashes as his CD album got pirated – his life achievement and his dream were annihilated by the mighty power of PIRACY.
“PIRACY not only ruin bank accounts for big corporations;
It even kills dreams of ordinary people”
We want to create awareness by telling the story from a ordinary people’s view-point. We hope that one day, PIRACY will be destroyed – protection all the musicians, film-makers etc..etc.. of the future.

FILM DIRECTOR : TIMOTHY TIO
Biography :
Timothy Tio was born in Sabah. He grew up in a small town. He doesn’t have many friends during his childhood so TV became his best friend.
After dropping out from art school at age 21, he went on to start his artistic career as a web designer. Uncertain of his future, he switched from job to job and ended up in an advertising agency.
Amazed by cartoons and movies since young, he decided to switch from advertising to film editing. Due to his bold, excellent graphics and motion graphic techniques, in a short time he moved up a notch to become a designer.
One day, he tried his hands in directing and delivered a 1 min short experimental that landed him a Gold award in 2003.
Currently, he's career focus is in Film Directing.
PRODUCER : CHERYLENE LEE
With more then 15 years in advertising / production / post-production, I decided that it’s time I move on to doing something new - programming, documentary & animated feature. I am now freelancing on a documentary & programming that is still under wraps negotiation stage.
I was working & prepping for this short film which was scheduled to shoot on 19th January 2007, which I hope to be submitted to the Cannes Festival and other festivals all over the world. This short film is a pro-bono project being done by a group close friends.
In Short – Work Experience
FILM DIRECTOR'S ..... on the making of
"I have always wanted to make movies due to one very passionate reason : because I love them. I’ve had this burger boy story in mind for almost 5 years but was unable to find funding – as in my country, it’s very difficult to get funding and we hardly have any support in the movie making business.
Fortunately I met with a wonderful production house (Sunday To Sunday and Evolution Pictures) and they unconditionally supported in every means possible in the making of "Burger Boy".
In brief "Burger Boy” is a story about a struggling talented musician / singer, who has devoted a significant part of his youth in trying to break into the local music scene. He was out of luck, money & support… at the end.... I urge you to watch it...
So, every frame of burger boy is very personal to me. It’s not only a film, but it holds the valuable memories of making this film with the massive support of every one involved. I am extremely grateful to all the actors, crew and supporters that saw this film through to the end."

(While waiting for his meal, Reezal’s handphone rings. He answers and starts talking to the person on the other end. The conversation touches on album sales, blah blah )
I understand but album you was just released two days ago, How can you possible expect the record label to lock in the sales today? I’m sorry but I’m afraid I don’t have the figures yet.
Annoyed, Reezal still maintains his calm and composure. He hangs up and smiles at ZUL
ZUL

Biasa lah … artist baru macam tu lah … album baru keluar dua hari sibuk nau sales. Macam mana tu. Kalau Siti Nurhaliza lain cerita la
ZUL
(ZUL looks concerned)
Susah ke nak jual album sekarang bang?
REEZAL
(while keeping the change into his pocket)
Itu lah saya cakap. Kalau you bukan Siti tak payah lah berangan nak album you terjual laris. Industri muzik kita ni dah makin mengecil bukan berkembang. Kita kat sini bukan macam artistes kat Hollywood dik. Ok, terima kasih ek.
