Watch the film · 2:48The brief
Business Events Sarawak’s #TribeSpirit campaign set out to show the unique DNA of Sarawakians to the world’s meeting planners.
Our approach
Rather than a tourism montage, we told one true story. UNIMAS herpetologist Prof. Indraneil Das and his students search the rainforest for the Bornean rainbow toad. The message: it takes many small steps to make a big discovery. The film went on to win the Audience Award at the Berlin Short Film Festival.
