Since returning to Malaysia, Ming Jin has directed television shows, commercials, and worked on other independent films, including being the director of photography for Amir Muhammad’s The Big Durian (Sundance 2004). He has also made several short films, most notably Love for Dogs, which screened in various festivals, including the Rotterdam International Film Festival 2005.

Ming Jin’s second film, The Elephant and The Sea, hailed by Variety magazine as a “Brilliant, striking new voice on the East Asian scene…”, has won several awards and been selected to screen in more than 25 film festivals worldwide, including the Rotterdam, Los Angeles, Seattle, Hong Kong, Vancouver, Torino, and Karlovy Vary Film Festivals. 简介: Synopsis: 一场由水引起的疾病袭击两个主人公所住的渔村，《大象与海》讲述了这场灾难过后他们两人的生活。 渔民Ah Ngau的妻子因病而亡，一周后，他带着三百块钱的政府抚恤金和一盒群众给他的慰问卡回到家。Ah Ngau没有因为妻子的死而难过，反而感受到了前所未有的自由。他叫了一个妓女，经历了一次迟到的爽。 Ah Ngau不想回家住，便住在自己的船上。在林子里逛时，他来到了一个瀑布，并目睹了一个男人从瀑布顶端跃下。 Yun Ding跟着“大哥”Long Chai干各种各样不靠谱的活儿。基本就是骗钱拉皮条什么的。Long Chai得病后，Yun Ding就自己继续。一个没有生活目标的人，能找到什么支撑自己的东西吗？ 莫名其妙地，Yun Ding开始认为一条罗汉鱼是他赢得彩票通往经济独立的幸运神。 当Long Chai沉默寡言的妹妹Su Ling开始爱上Yun Ding，他开始利用这个使自己更加陷入无限黑洞。救赎其实从来离他不远，但他从未向它靠近。 The Elephant and the Sea follows the lives of two individuals in the aftermath of a water borne disease that strikes their fishing village. A week after the disease takes the life of his wife, Ah Ngau, a fisherman by trade, is sent home with $300 in aid from the government and a cardboard box of useless “donations” from the public. Instead of grieving for his wife, Ah Ngau appears to have found a new sense of freedom, meeting a prostitute and experiencing a long delayed sexual awakening. Refusing to enter his house, Ah Ngau takes off on his boat, and wanders into the forest, arriving at a waterfall where he witnesses a man jumping off the edge. Yun Ding makes a living doing an assortment of odd jobs, following his “big brother” Long Chai around. Mostly they cheat and hustle their way around, living off the naiveté of the public. When Long Chai succumbs to the disease, Ding has to make it on his own. But can a person with no direction in his life find something to hold on to? Superstitiously believing that a flowerhorn fish (“Lucky Buddha” fish) is his ticket to financial freedom, Ding is convinced the fish will win him a fortune through the local 4-Digit lottery. When Long Chai’s reticent sister Su Ling develops a crush on him, Ding uses it to his advantage, further plunging his character into a dark hole. For Ding, redemption is only a small step away, but it will always be a step in the other direction. <大象与海>所获得的奖项: Awards: 2007年都灵国际电影节特别评审团奖 Special Jury Prize, Torino International Film Festival 2007 2007年首尔数码电影节最佳导演奖与最佳评论奖 Best Director Award and Critics Award, Cinema Digital Seoul Film Festival 2007 2008年巴塞罗纳数码电影节最佳导演奖 Best Director, Diba Barcelona Film Festival 2008 <大象与海>所参加的其他电影节: Other Film Festivals: 2008年鹿特丹国际电影节 Rotterdam International Film Festival 2008 2008年洛杉矶国际电影节 Los Angeles International Film Festival 2008 2008年西雅图国际电影节 Seattle International Film Festival 2008 2008年台湾国际电影节 Taiwan International Film Festival 2008 2008年香港国际电影节 Hong Kong International Film Festival 2008 2008年温哥华国际电影节 Vancouver International Film Festival 2008 等等等等... and a lot more...
