KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 -- Following the success of Abang Adik, director Jin Ong and producer Angelica Lee Sinje are teaming up with Malaysian filmmaker Kethsvin Chee for his upcoming drama Dead Tide.

This marks Chee's second feature film after 2020's Hello! Tapir, which was nominated for Best Visual Effects at the Golden Horse Awards.

Set in a fishing village in Kuala Selangor, Dead Tide will be directed by Chee, with Ong and Lee serving as producers.
