Last week I interviewed Adrian Teh on Morning Boss. Adrian who? His name may not be familiar but maybe you’ve heard of or even watched some of his movies? Balistik (2013), Ping Ping An An (2013), The Wedding Diary 2 (2013), The Golden Couple (2012), The Wedding Diary (2012), Lelio Popo (2010), Ice Kacang Puppy Love (2010). Recognise any? Yes, Adrian is the man behind all those movies. This 100% made-in-Malaysia filmmaker and CEO of Asia Tropical Films Sdn Bhd was full of enthusiasm and energy when talking about films. Just the mere mention of movies brought a sparkle to his eyes.
His love for filmmaking stemmed from the movie,
“The best part about filmmaking is the challenge. And I love that sense of satisfaction and accomplishment whenever I complete a film. I also hope to deliver certain messages through the films I make. As a filmmaker, I definitely want to elevate Malaysian films so that they can compete on a global platform. I want the world to see our stories. I want to introduce Malaysian productions to the world!” Adrian exclaimed.

郑健国，百分百马来西亚电影人，不但曾经从事监制、执导、演员等多职，现在更成立属于自己的电影公司，阿细亚热带电影Asia Tropical Films Sdn Bhd。
电影的梦想，从健国15岁那年萌芽。当年，在戏院里观看了《Godzilla》这部电影以后，被里边的一切深深震撼，也因此开启了他的电影人生路。
经历了多年的电影生涯，他觉得拍电影最好玩的地方，就是每一部电影都有着不同的挑战。基于本身是个喜欢挑战的人，所以每一部电影的完成，都带给他很大的满足感。
当被问到是否有着什么使命感时，他笑着说：“说真的，我并不觉得自己有那么伟大，我只是希望透过本身的电影，带出想要表达的故事与讯息。”
“当然，我也希望马来西亚的电影会越做越好，让世界各地都可以看见属于我们的电影、我们的故事。”他补充。
到目前为止，建国的部分作品集包括了：
2013 Balistik
