Music, however, is not his only love, as he took up various acting roles and became a recognisable figure the nascent “Malaysian New Wave” cinema.

Among the films he has acted in include Before In Love Again, A Tree in Tanjung Malim, and Raindogs, all of which have been screened in international film festivals. In 2008, he produced an anti-racism music video project called ‘Malaysian Artistes For Unity (MAFU), a non-profit recording of his anti-racism composition ‘Here In My Home’ that involved over 50 Malaysian artists, media personalities and arts activists.

This year saw Teo as industrious as he’s ever been, having worked on two film scores, released the original soundtrack album for Talentime, and produced the 15Malaysia project within the first six months of 2009. 15Malaysia is a local project consisting of 15 short films from 15 local filmmakers, with each film covering the social-politics issues in Malaysia with unflinching honesty and a twist of humour.
