Kaamatan 2024: Hero Kaamatan Ku” was uploaded on Jetama Sdn Bhd’s YouTube channel on May 26.
“The nearly five-minute-long film focused on themes of sacrifice, family spirit and family heritage.
“It tells the story of a child, who grew up in the city, transitioning to village life after her father decided to quit working in the city to take over laborious work on the rice field which he inherited from his elderly mother.
“However, the child eventually realised her father’s sacrifice when she reached adulthood,” he said.

Ahmad Naim said among the filming locations included Kampung Sagkir, Kota Belud and Mari-Mari Culture Village in Kota Kinabalu, which took almost two weeks to shoot and edit.
“We hope the short film will capture the hearts of the audience and convey the theme of this year’s Kaamatan Festival, which is ‘Kaamatan, Beyond Food Security’ (‘Kaamatan, Poingalib Kohimaganan Taakanon’),” he said in a statement.
