Another celebration for Malaysia this week, especially for the people of Sarawak. Sarawakian-born producer Alvin Wee recently won a Cinema Audio Society (CAS) Award in Hollywood for his work in Disney’s film “Encanto”.

Alvin won the award for his sound mixing work for the 2021 Disney hit film. The 34-year-old is also the first Malaysian to receive the coveted award, which recognises outstanding sound mixing and editing in film and television.

In an interview The Borneo Post, Alvin said he felt proud to receive the award with his co-workers and the entire “Encanto” team at the 58th Annual CAS Awards in LA. They managed to beat other nominees including “Luca”, “Raya and the Last Dragon”, and “Sing 2” in the Animated Motion Picture category this year.

“It’s a really tight race and the people that we were up against are the best the industry has to offer, so at no point was I taking that for granted. We knew the one thing we had going for us was the teamwork we had between the entire team, which I believe rarely comes by often,” he said.

“Encanto” has also earned three Academy Award nominations, including Best Original Score. Alvin has a lot to be grateful for and hopes that his success would be able to motivate the younger generation in the creative industry.
