Gogu is a filmmaker based in Kuala Lumpur, developing his first feature film Kaali. "Teaming up with the esteemed Eve Baswel, Gogularaajan has co-written and co-directed the short film 'Walay Balay'," featured at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024.
I interviewed Gogu to find out how architecture school education influenced his current success as a film-maker. Gogu explained how his sketches and the design process laid the foundation to build on his life's work in video filming into the art form that he produced.
