Shaman Premasundara receives the award

Universo De' Comercio (UDC) UK in collaboration with El Universo De' Comercio Sdn Bhd, Malaysia is an international awards program recognising the success, innovation of all business leaders, companies and organisations across all industry sectors. Emerging as the top business event in the international arena, the UDC Business Awards attracts entrepreneurs, business and community leaders from countries across Asia, Europe, USA, Oceania and the Middle East.

This is the first time a Sri Lankan TV and Film Production Company has been honoured for business excellence in the international community and marks a milestone that heralds the entry of local film and TV production standards to the world stage.

Managing Director of Frames Film and TV Production Shaman Premasundara is an Indian and UK-trained veteran with over 15 years experience as a Commercial Film Director and Film Editor, many of which were spent honing his skills in leading production houses of the time.

His accomplished career has borne several technical firsts for the country.

He was the first non-linear editor in Sri Lanka for using AVID MEDIA COMPOSER an extremely high-end system, the first Compositor in Sri Lanka to use ILLUSION a node-based high-end, advanced composting tool from AVID and the first sound designer to achieve DOLBY 6.1 Surround Sound for Sri Lankan feature film "Sooriya Arana".

Owing to his vast experience, Frames TV and Film Production also played a major role in the making of international film "Machang" which was directed by Italian Film Director Ubartho Pasalony.

The company culture at FRAMES resonates on quality rather than quantity and reflects not only its technical virtuosity, equipment and personnel but the all-important DNA of client relationships and result-oriented implications.

These factors were critical to the review process for the judging of the UDC Business Awards 2011.
