The extraordinary collector | Sherwynn Devaraj

The Extraordinary Collector: A Tribute to My Father A small but very personal passion project about my father, VBD Eric, and his extraordinary collection. My journey as a filmmaker grew through the commercial industry — learning the craft, creating visuals, and playing with all the “toys” that filmmaking gives us. But sometimes, the strongest stories are much simpler. This film is about the human connection between a person and the objects they keep. Growing up, I was always intrigued by the supernatural and how stories are passed down through generations. Each object carries a story. And perhaps, these stories lead to something bigger. This documentary became the starting point for a feature I’m developing around Malaysian and Southeast Asian folklore and horror.
