ABOUT US
Based in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, Impress Creative & Editorial is deeply committed to supporting inventive cultural production, publication and distribution. Although there are many strands to our work – music, film, photography and books – they are all combined in a celebratory approach to the arts and culture. Impress’s promise to our clients is to work collaboratively and professionally to deliver quality and value.
A former academic, Ismail Gareth Richards is a researcher, writer and editor who has long been associated with the arts scene.
