For Maduners information, public schools even screenings Kantoi due to its important underlying message.

In case you missed Kantoi in 2018, we are about to bring you travelling to the past! Kantoi is a film revolving around teenage girls who find a pregnancy test at their school’s toilet. From there, they embark on a sleuthing mission to find out the owner of the discarded test.

To be more interesting, in actuality, the test belongs to the protagonist, Alia, and throughout the film, she has to tackle the dilemma of owning up to her own pregnancy or keeping it a secret from harshly judgemental teenage girls.

The light-hearted comedy is incredibly reminiscent of nostalgic high-school films such as Mean Girls, Easy A and Clueless. The dynamics between characters as well as the dialogue and overall gedik comedy is what truly shines in Kantoi.

Directed by Adam Zainal, of BMW Shorties’ entry OSOM: Jangan Kena Tangkap Sudah fame, the film integrates a saturated, almost cotton-candy like colour-grading that matches the vibrancy of our adolescence. Adeptly shot with a vital message on teen pregnancy and the DANGER OF GOSSIP CULTURE!

The Multimedia University-graduate cum director has proven through this debut film that he has got a lot more up his sleeve.

What makes Kantoi more special, the costs of the film was purely funded from online crowdfunding, donations from friends.
