IAIN RAPHAEL BONG
Iain Raphael Bong, or socially known as IAINWITHEYES is a South East Asian Cinematographer, based in Sarawak, Borneo, MY. He is a self-taught artist with a distinctive style that pursues nostalgia and heightened realism.
Iain's journey first started when he was 15-year-old, just shooting on his phone and borrowed cameras from his friends, he started off taking pictures. His works have been featured in magazines, art exhibitions, international events, domestic creative and tourism social media platforms, as well as international creative social media platforms.
Today, Iain runs his own production company IAINWITHEYES Studios - a filmmaking company that produces originals based in Sarawak, Borneo, MY. Iain also freelances for other productions and companies. He loves crafting suspenseful, dramatic and impactful films with collaborative and passionate individuals because he believes stories are told best when done with like-minded people. He also aims to tell better stories of his community.

Growing up with cameras and intrigued by the technical aspect of filmmaking, Darell grew up consuming as much Behind The Scenes materials as he could. He enjoys managing sets and events, and made his first short film for his alma mater when he was just 17. During his spare time, he pursues Aviation Photography, and is a member of MyElites.

My initial motivation in making Rue (2021) was to explore and experiment with the possibilities of filmmaking with the little resources we had access to from where we are. Having the desire to want to tell stories for the cinema, Darell presented me with a film idea that was both simple yet important in today's society. I felt it was relatable.
For us, we firmly believe that it is important to have representation on screen. To be able to present a human condition that is relatable universally, but at the same time told through the lens of an Asian perspective. Coming from the land of Borneo, we wanted to show that we are not all that different; we have stories to tell as well.

Rue (2021) is a story that is inspired by true events that happened. The idea came to me a year before I pitched to an old friend. I thought it could be a potential ground for talented individuals I know to collaborate and create something, while at the same time scouting for talents.
Being passionate about films, I wanted to see something similar happen around me, and there isn’t much of it. Because of that, I set out to make something. It was a challenge given that we had limited resources, but we did our best in doing justice to the story. This journey has definitely sparked something in me.
