Sashi Ambi, Head of Corporate Communications at BMW Group Malaysia said, “The BMW Shorties, the creative initiative by BMW Group Malaysia that discovers and supports local content creators here returns in 2022! The program recognises visionary local talents in their creative career journeys which in turn, inspires us as a brand that shares these same values in the field of innovation and creativity.” 

“This collaboration with Astro is very timely, especially with the Merdeka and Hari Malaysia celebrations taking place, demonstrating that this Malaysian home-grown creative initiative is still a driving force in celebrating local talents and is an inspiration to all in the creative field here, sharing the many talents Malaysia has to offer,” said Ambi.

Sharmin Parameswaran, Vice President of VOD/PPV & International at Astro said, “As the leading content and entertainment company in Malaysia, we strongly believe in delivering content and stories that uniquely resonate with our local landscape. As we approach this very significant time of the year together as Malaysians, we are delighted to be able to work with the BMW Shorties to showcase the works of talented local filmmakers and digital content creators to a wider Malaysian audience. In a way, it is a celebration of our heritage, as we showcase these stories, crafted through the lens of our shared yet diverse experience as a nation.”
