Sammy Ngelambai only plays a small role in the Belaban Hidup: Infeksi Zombie feature film, however, the 63-year-old is feeling over the moon over the success of the independent film that had garnered the Best Film award as well as the Best Horror Film award at the International Symbolic Art Film Festival (ISAFF) in St Petersburg, Russia last month.

Sammy said he was proud because the film showcases the art and culture of the Dayak community, specifically the Iban people and the highly revered warrior costume, to the international community.
