]]>Why is it harder for women to get good jobs? Is it a lack of confidence, or the lack of necessary education or training? Or is it gender bias that exists in the corporate world? More and more, women don’t really care what’s causing the discrimination they face. They just want to overcome it. And some of these women - such as tech driven Anna from Singapore, young Philippine airliner CEO Ryna, and driven Pakistani industrialist Afshan, for examples - surpass all the hurdles to climb to the top.
]]>Being a single mom is an everyday battle for many women - as Thuy from Vietnam, Maureen from Indonesia and Payo from India can attest to.

]]>"Women migrate for diverse reasons: leaving behind poverty, conflict and disasters, escaping gender inequalities and violence, in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their families. Migrant women are often agents of change: Leaders who contribute in multiple ways to their countries of origin, transit and destination. They bring diverse talent and expertise and send money back to their families and communities, allowing economies to thrive. Despite their valuable contributions, migrants face pervasive, intersecting forms of discrimination that impact their well-being and safety at all stages of their journeys. Migration impacts women and men differently. Yet, the specific experiences of migrant women are rarely reflected in migration laws and policies. (source: unwomen.org)"
]]>Most regions in the world are suffering the effects of human-induced climate change. Natural disasters such as droughts, landslides, floods and hurricanes, have increased.

]]>Since 2015, women in every country in the world have officially had the right to vote. It's been a long road to this point.

HER sheds a light on how traditions and roots can have such different meanings. For example for Lauren Sevilla Faustino who decided to leave her modern life in Manila. And then there is the story from Thailand of Andrew’s journey leaving his roots and transitioning to Anne.
]]>More and more women are becoming financially independent. What does money mean to them? How do they earn their money? And how do they spend it? What setbacks have they experienced?

Why do they decide to get married or not? And is marriage really the key to happiness?

How can they succeed in male dominated professions? Are careers compatible with family life? Three women tell us their stories.

]]>Mental health and addiction problems are not talked about in many Asian countries. That can make it especially hard to overcome the crisis and the pain.

In an abandoned, dystopian sci-fi location, CAMILLE, now a samurai ronin, is confronted by a cybernetically-enhanced enemy named VEX, who has laser beam fingers.
Vex accuses CAMILLE of betraying the CREATOR and tries to take away her special ability.

]]>Creator Statement: Working with Regent was challenging at first. His directing method is far too precise for me. However, after reminding myself that I can learn from others (the whole point of working with other directors), I’ve come to see the importance of controlling every detail. In the editing room, I’ve learn to appreciate his style and was able to put together an episode where Michelle (played by Loo Le En) shows a bit of history: character built from experience that even my scripts didn’t show. I was truly precious with the character of Joe, as I have dumped all my struggles and beliefs into him. And Regent, together with Harest Tilani, brought him to life wonderfully.

Director's statement: The zero waste movement is gaining traction locally. Aside from tips to lead a more sustainable lifestyle, we wanted to highlight the bigger picture of zero waste through a vlog-style documentary, showing how one can adopt the mentality of consuming consciously, which we, or at least I myself, have not considered previously.
Some may have the impression that zero waste is intimidating and inaccessible. However, advocates like Melissa show us that the road to zero waste is an on-going journey, which each individual make decisions on the sustainable lifestyle changes that best suits themselves, one step at a time.

It is a time of momentous change…
We meet a beleaguered tribe of cavepeople on the heels of disaster. Bloodied and beaten. They are the last of their kind. They are a simple, deeply stupid people. They cannot speak. They struggle through the elements in search of shelter. Of food. Of fire. Of anything to keep them going just a little while longer.
A BRUTE MALE is their de facto leader. An oafish half-wit, as violent as he is proud. In his entourage are: a deeply spiritual ELDER WOMAN; a BOY with a badly injured leg; and our hero — HER.
Shunned by her tribe for her strange demeanor, SHE desires nothing more than the approval of her peers — especially the fiery Brute Male. But a new awareness is building inside HER, and the others may not be ready for it...
Hunger. Fire. Beasts. And Poop.
SHE will overcome all of these, because SHE will learn to SPEAK.

Director Statement:
In some ways, this film draws upon my experience of growing up in Singapore. In my early teens, my mother was in poor health, and my family was in a state of financial crisis. It was a challenging period for me, having to start working at an early age to share some financial burden. I wasn’t the most capable person but I was trying to be strong. The feeling of helplessness and loneliness, despair and unknown beauty; and the yearning for warmth – these are the major textures that pervade this film.
They say the festive season is generally perceived as a jolly period but it is not always all warm and fuzzy for everyone. There are many hidden struggles in plain sight. Regardless, people are trying to do good. There exists a traditional ideology of a cheerful giver; which reminds us to give out of love and from the heart. So, I was curious to explore, how will society transform an ordinary young boy who is trying to care for his sick mother to grow and become a better man.
The following morning, Meng has an altercation with a pimp in the alley and is pushed to the floor after accusing him of stealing his belongings.
Meng seeks out a public phone in a heartland neighbourhood and calls his son, Teck. Knowing that it is his Granddaughter's birthday that coming Saturday, Meng promises her a lavish present.
Meng scours the bookstore and comes across a dollhouse and looks to buy it, but is brushed off by a snobbish customer for his body odour. Instead of standing up for him, the store owner chases him out, telling him not to affect her business.
In order to save money for the dollhouse, Meng turns to eating leftovers at a zi char (stir-fry) restaurant by the roadside. People stop to stare at him, but he doesn't care. A couple tables across, Meng spots his daughter-in-law drinking with another man. They spot each other but pretend not to see one another.
Exhausted and troubled, Meng rests in a dark alley way, where two foreign workers are seated. Through a small misunderstanding, he starts interacting with them and they invite him to drink and dance with them.
Come Saturday, Meng steals the pimp's flowery shirt he sees in they alley, goes to an industrial office toilet to clean up. and heads for his Granddaughter's party at a Chinese restaurant.
After a long lonely bus ride to the family dinner, Meng presents her with the dollhouse, which he spent his last paycheck on. She is over the moon when she sees her present. Later in the night, the bill comes, Meng reaches for his wallet wanting to chip in to pay the bill, but Teck rejects. Before leaving the restaurant, Meng goes to the restroom, and Teck notices Meng's bag is full of clothing and suspects that he might have moved out of his joint singles apartment.
As Meng sends them off, he tells his granddaughter to be a good girl and to study hard so that she can buy a big house one day. She promises him that she will study hard and not let him or her father down. At this point, Teck insists that Meng come back to their home to stay with them, but Meng, being too proud, rejects the idea.
A storm starts to brew in the middle of the night, as the family part ways. His granddaughter puts a photo of all three of them into the dollhouse upon reaching home and Meng goes back to living on the streets, facing the harsh elements, in a "Cardboard House".

Director Statement:
As I read the script, I realised behind the “romance”, drama, and comedy bits was a woman struggling to find herself in the midst of her life and in a pandemic. I saw myself in her, even though I’m in my 20s, my most recent thoughts were “What will happen to me in the next few years before I hit 30? Do I need to have certain achievements? I need to be at a "further" or "higher" place, right? Would I be doing, genuinely, ok? Then can you imagine if you were in her shoes in her 40s, with so many years behind her and just going back to the drawing block and starting anew in an industry she has no idea of? And also coming to realise she needed to comprehend herself anew too, ironically, through her love scammer.
With the pandemic hitting everyone upside down, the hawkers, mostly consisting of the older generation, struggle to see the end of the tunnel and how to make ends meet. And instead of not portraying the depressing side of things, having this play out in comedic, light-hearted banter will help soothe the heaviness everyone has been feeling and at the same time, bring to light the people we forgot to honour.
Creator/Writer Statement: LUCK DOWN is a romantic comedy set in contemporary Singapore. It is about a woman, on the wrong side of 40, who fulfils her lifelong dream of opening a hawker stall, falls in love for the first time, finds out her new boyfriend is a love scammer. Then, Covid-19 forces them to be locked down together.
In LUCK DOWN, we laugh and cry with lonely hawker Jasmine as she navigates the lockdown, coupledom, and her new stall with Brandon. All while trying not to get into trouble with lockdown ambassadors, vigilantes and the authorities. Not to mention customers, friends, family, and nosy neighbours.
I had come up with the concept during the first circuit breaker, exploring how the pandemic could be affecting romantic relationships. Does absence make the heart grow fonder or rather, does familiarity breed contempt? What happens if you are stuck with someone you don’t trust?
This is no ordinary love-hate-love story, but then again, we are still living through extraordinary times.

The Lying Theory is a series that shows how a wounded child can overcome her fears and mistrust, and how she comes to terms with it and have faith in life again. While one cannot stop all the lies we may be subjected to, we can learn how to adapt to our situation. Is it a curse or a blessing? This show reminds us to embrace our fears and take a leap of faith – because there is still trust and love in our life.

]]>Director Statement: Grief is a difficult condition that requires respect. From both the person grieving and those who want to help the grieving. Often grief conjures thoughts and questions just as much as emotions.
What ifs, why, what now?
As a result, people try to overcome grief with platitudes, cliches, and answers that feel hollow - because mostly, nobody genuinely has the answers.
What people need and what we can give simply is space. Space to feel, space in our hearts for those who moved on, and space simply to grow as fallible human beings. If anything at all, Spectre Disco is all about how we can afford space even as time marches ever on.

Director Statement:
In the internet of things, there are all kinds of stories being shared around. As much as there are negative ones, there are a lot of positive stories that often make people shout,
“faith in humanity is restored!”
And it’s these little “grassroots” stories that touch us in our daily lives, bringing us hope even in challenging times. At times, people are inspired to do similar good deeds to others, “paying it forward” in ways of their own.
With the sharing of these stories, it warms the cockles of our hearts to know that our society is still one with warmth and love.
However, sometimes things might not seem as it is.
For example, a video clip on social media of a group of boys seemingly laughing at a stern-looking autistic kid could invite bashing from netizens and even social judgement.
But, there is always another side to the story. What we see from the video clip could actually be something good happening in reality.
More often than not, netizens judge things and jump to conclusions without attempting to look into the full picture.
I hope that through this series, it will spark a thought in the audience to see things from different perspectives, to see the greater good of things, especially in such a fast-moving digital landscape.

Growing up in Singapore, we often find ourselves surrounded by Singaporeans who are pragmatic and result orientated. It made us wonder, what would Singaporeans be like in a hundred years from now? Will we even remember how Singaporeans used to have infinite trust for one another and would not hesitate to help when needed? Will we even know that we used to have the ‘Kampung Spirit’? Maybe it would be interesting to imagine a scenario where Singaporeans from the future react to the Singaporean’s ‘Kampung Spirit’ see the reaction of Singaporeans.
Through Chronos, we hope to bring awareness to how Singaporeans have changed through its modernization. While there are merits to this modernization, there are certain unique valuable characteristics of our culture that are left behind and forgotten. By juxtaposing Singaporeans from the two different periods, we do not seek to give an answer to what is correct or wrong about society, but to invite our fellow Singaporeans to remember what was and question what is.

Agus, Yos, and Satria are in charge of the village security tonight. As usual, everyone who is in charge of the patrol would walk around the village at a given time in order to ensure all corners of the village are safe.
The problem comes up when they lost the flashlight usually used for patrol. They search it to every corner of security post, but could not find it anywhere. Suspicion after suspicion arises over the loss of the flashlight. They do not go on patrol and keep debating about who took the flashlight in the security post of Kremi Kidul Village.

Director Statement:
The conception of this series came about when reading crime articles. It has become second nature for us to perceive the guilty party as someone of a lower standing. We wouldn’t equate ourselves with them as we start to question their lack of morals.
But when we are placed in a similar predicament, is it as black and white as how we perceive it to be? Or will we succumb to the cruel circumstances that befall the guilty party?
Ultimately, we want to explore circumstances that push one to their limits, putting their necessities of life at stake.
We present “Mirage”, where chaos occupies the lives of our protagonists, blurring their moral compass leading to actions that set off irreversible and possibly disastrous consequences.

Director Statement:
There's something about watching a film that has roots in a true story. It has the power to add emotional impact and continue engaging with audiences, leaving them wanting more. This film tells a real-life story of a local Chinese lady's conversion to Islam, and how her conversion has posed challenges to her faith. From struggling to seek acceptance from her parents on the conversion, to the death of her father.
This will make many ponder, how does one seek refuge in a religion that your loved ones do not approve of?
The message that I would like to add is it takes time to change and understand our situations and differences. It's also important to talk about these issues. We are a young nation still learning and adapting as we go.

The topic of mental health is a personal concept to each individual and a theme that has always deserved a global platform.
I am truly honoured to have the opportunity to create this documentary and play my part in the fight against destigmatising mental illness.
It is with immense hope that this production will encourage individuals to stay brave and overcome their difficulties related to their mental well-being.
Just know that no matter how difficult the road ahead may seem, that you will always possess the power and ability to persevere down the path of your challenges.
Never give up.
]]>Director Statement:
I first met Evan*, a youth with mild autism, when he was on one of his night walks. As he would trip and fall with every couple of steps he took, he was inviting many curious stares while others simply avoided him at a wide berth. After befriending him, I realised that he would walk up to 1-2 hours each night. It was his way of proving that he was able to do something.
In another instance, I encountered Luke*, a youth with severe autism who had a meltdown on public transport. As he got increasingly agitated, the bus driver had ask all passengers to disembark. Everyone avoided eye contact with him and some expressed distaste at his behaviour. I remember distinctly that he was repeatedly shouting, “I want to go to Sentosa but nobody will bring me there.”
In both instances, that no one had thought to approach or even acknowledge the individual feeds into a narrative of invisibility for the special needs community. It is a narrative that comes up often in conversations with those differently abled or those working alongside them. Perhaps, because they seem different, our automatic responses are to ignore or to avoid the unfamiliar.
It is hoped that with the megaphone of film, voice and visibility can be given to this community that has been largely misunderstood. Without any lofty ideals that one film can change the tide permanently, it is nonetheless an aspiration to build up a collective of stories that can erode misconceptions and share the spirited stories these individuals all have, starting with Alina’s story.
Alina represents a remarkable Gen Z with an inspirational resolve to partake in Paralympics 2024. My hope is that the film can capture a snapshot of her determination and overturn the narrative of helplessness. As Alina put it best, she can proudly achieve the same goals as her peers, just through a different route.

I first discovered Whoaa! On my Tiktok For You Page and was intrigued by the creative and innovative ways in which Apphia turned everyday items into miniature jewellery. Whoaa! Was started by an introvert who found an avenue to express herself, and in doing so, allowed other introverts to express themselves as well.
As a mostly introverted person myself, I use film as an avenue to convey stories that I emotionally connect with. A lot of people often have negative assumptions about Generation Z, but through this documentary, I hope to uncover a more substantial side of Generation Z, who are hardworking and brave enough to break the status quo and pursue passions outside of the regular 9 to 5.
I believe in looking for the unique in the everyday and through this documentary, I hope to inspire Gen Z into believing that they can create something out of nothing if they have the drive and passion for it.

Hardcore Punk is often associated with a lot of negativity and anger. Through this documentary, I wanted to shed a different perspective on the genre particularly with a new wave of bands from Gen Z. With the availability of technology and the influence they have on social media, sensitive topics and issues that used to be suppressed are now being addressed. The spirit of this new wave of bands allows more inclusivity, welcoming audiences from all walks of life.
Director Statement:
Taking care of our planet is something that’s grown increasingly important to me, especially when there’s such a pressing need to address the huge climate crisis that we’re currently facing today. There are many different ways we can adopt sustainable, environmentally-friendly consumer habits in our lifestyles, but I think one of the biggest movements in Singapore, especially among young people, is this shift towards second-hand fashion. And that’s what we were interested to explore - how thrifting and buying second-hand clothing has become more widely accepted among the youths, and might even be their preferred source of fashion. It’s definitely a trend (because thrifting is also very much a communal experience and activity to be enjoyed with friends) but I think we risk reducing the motivations behind shopping second-hand when we dismiss it as just another ‘fad’. I think thrifting, and the resale market in general, introduces us to a way of consuming fashion that’s both fun, exciting and sustainable. And I hope that joy and fun shows through in Julia’s story and in her environmental journey.

Director Statement:
This coming-of-age story is an exploration of human connections – towards others, ourselves, and the intangible: music.
Living in a conservative Asian society, experiencing generational disconnect within families is not uncommon. Love is shown in a more subtle manner, and sometimes we may know very little about the ones we are the closest to. The older we get, the more regret we feel towards the unspoken words, unexpressed appreciation and what-ifs. But it’s never too late, and we can learn to love people even after they’re gone – just in a different way.
Dealing with loss at a young age and being thrown into the deep end of powerful emotions, music helps our main character better understand himself, his loved ones, and perhaps unknowingly, who he wants to become. It is a universal language that goes beyond the boundaries of age, space and time. There is comfort in the knowledge that whatever experiences we have had or will have, someone, somewhere out there has gone through the same thing.
Director Statement: Maybe, Marriage is a story about letting go and learning to move on. It was inspired the conversations being had around me by some of my peers, many of them in their late 20s, at a crossroads in their lives deliberating marriage with their long-term partners. Committing to spending the rest of one’s life with someone is one of the biggest commitments one can undertake, and it is incredibly personal. I want to tell a sincere and fun story of young people in Singapore, with their different views on relationships and companionship, and what it means to them.

Most of these comments get amplified into a full-on rage argument online. It saddens us to see just how much some Singaporeans do not respect each other's culture. We wish to put across the message that even though we are different in race, background, beliefs and culture, we can all still live in harmony. Even through difficult times and emerge stronger together.

This character placement will lead us to understand that through a mandatory National Service, doesn’t matter your racial background, individuals can forge a stronger bond through the challenges they face together.
National Service exposes us to people from different walks of life and it is a pivotal 2 years of a man’s life. It’s the best years to gain life-long friends that we can truly rely on, regardless of race or religion. As such, we hope that this short series will serve as a reminder to always put ourselves into the shoes of others and be understanding of each other’s cultures.

Director Statement:
Singapore is a multiracial and multicultural country and yet, we sometimes see racial disputes and cultural debates on social media. Most of these comments get amplified into a full-on rage argument online. It saddens us to see just how much some Singaporeans do not respect each other's culture. We wish to put across the message that even though we are different in race, background, beliefs and culture, we can all still live in harmony. Even through difficult times and emerge stronger together.
Call Up Fall In, look into a plot where a Singaporean who has no recollection of our local culture and has to relearn and rediscover our country's local lingo and culture. This character placement will lead us to understand that through a mandatory National Service, doesn’t matter your racial background, individuals can forge a stronger bond through the challenges they face together.

As she wanders through the sleepless town, she coincidentally meets the tour guide and the bus driver at a skewer stall. The two men make advances on her, one after another.
She falls prey to their advances, and this incites reconstructs of hazy visions, entangling her dreams, memories and fantasies.

As a child, an example of advanced technology was using a floppy disk the size of my palm to store digital information up to a few megabytes. Today, I find myself ordering a cup of coffee by scanning a QR code on my phone - a device that connects me to the world and can answer any question in a few microseconds.
Yet research suggests that at least one in 10 households in Singapore is not plugged into the digital world. Hearing this, I was interested in finding out how the rapid digitalisation of our society has affected different demographics.
Embarking on this series allowed me to learn how integral technology is in our lives. From making purchases to expressing ourselves, and connecting with others. Technology is now indispensable to us and thus it is critical to make sure no one is left behind in this digital age.

Wedding Pig symbolizes fertility and family, and traditions like these are meant to strengthen a family's identity and beliefs held across generations. But when such traditions become obsolete and senseless in today's world, we sacrifice both the tangible and intangible inheritance. In this series, we dive deep into how a simple traditional Wedding Pig can complicate a relationship between two sisters in our modern society. Not all of us have a sibling, but we have someone we care deeply about, even though we aren't on the best of terms with them. We may have misplaced and misunderstood our "Wedding Pig", but blood is always thicker than water.

Unable to reconcile her beliefs and grief, Ling tries to force and persuade Hui Xuan to conformity, to which her daughter resists adamantly.
In a fit of anger, Ling attempts to kill the moth to win the argument, but hesitates when the moth lands next to the cross on the door.

Director Statement:
To listen, one must be empty so that one can fully hear. It is the emptiness of a vessel that makes the vessel useful. But what do you do when your daughter tells you that the moth on your dining table is the reincarnation of your own mother?
Our lead character, Ling, is a Christian woman and also someone who is still dealing with the grief of losing her mother.
The position of Ling is obviously understandable; she truly believes that she is absolving her daughter of mental hallucinations. She acts, surely with the noblest of intentions: protecting her loved one from delusion, but yet she only ends up accentuating the conflict and almost killing the innocent moth in a fit of anger.
Hence, a moral dilemma: Is there a right action in this situation? How far are we prepared to go to force a win?
Jennifer believes that her spell on Vee has backfired - she resorts to more serious ways to get what she wants. Meanwhile, Jay follows his own agenda, and Sister hears two confessions.
]]>Back in 2017, my husband decided to set up a food stall somewhere in Farrer Road. Business was slow, so he decided to do food deliveries as well. Back then, food delivery services were still new and it was pricey to engage them. So we did the deliveries ourselves. Our delivery timing starts as early as 5am till 12 midnight - sometimes even later. All was well, until one fateful night..
]]>During my younger days, I was very disobedient. I would come back home late and sometimes even till the wee hours of the night. One particular night my dad had enough of my antics and decided to teach me a lesson. As I was in my rebellious phase, I thought that it was such a lame punishment. However, I was deeply mistaken..
]]>My forgetfulness has always been my worst trait. This particular night, it was proven true. It was supposed to be a short trip from my parents’ place back to mine but things doesn’t always go as planned. I was trapped..

]]>I don't usually go out after 11pm alone simply cause I'm a scaredy cat. One night, I needed to run an errand urgently but my husband was busy with work. So I was forced to head out - alone. My cats have this stupid habit of jumping out of the gate and playing hide and seek with me outside. So when I was just about to head out that night, I saw something through my peripheral vision. I immediately assumed that it was one of my cats and chased after it. But soon I realised..

My sister was awoken at around 3am to the sound of my voice - reciting the prayers. She was having an SP (sleep paralysis) episode and couldn't move. So she tried her best to call out to "me" to help her out. Whenever she is having an SP episode, just a touch or nudge from another human being can snap her out of it. However things started to get weird after she realised that...

Baybeats 2005. It was a special feeling being there. It spoke to me and not that it was my first music fest but it shouted that there was a rock scene in Singapore.
My classmate then asked me if I want to enroll into Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Film, Sound and Video diploma program. In my head: “Hmmm, there’s ‘Sound’ in the course name... Sure!” I wanted to be a music producer.
15 years later, I am a film producer instead.
Yet I could never shake that feeling and now I am trying to reignite the sparks of my youth through this documentary. Perhaps it was to pay tribute to these featured artistes and learning what our music scene has become 15 years later. I had questions of our industry (or the lack of). Will we ever have an entertainment industry as robust as the Koreans or Japanese? Haha.
Before We Get Old, as the title suggests, is a time capsule that captured 5 people that did what I couldn’t do.

Director Statement:
There is more than meets the eye and in this film we hope to shed light on the fact that some things are hidden in plain sight. Sometimes, people put up a front because that is the only way to survive.
When we think about ambitious women, we often think about women climbing up corporate ladders or women in male-dominated industries. But to me, ambition is a strong desire to fight for a better future, even if the odds are stacked against you.
And for survivors of human trafficking, they too, have an ambition for their future. As individuals, we can be made more aware of the signs of victimisation, and hopefully spark conversations that are foreign to the masses.

Director Statement:
It has always irked me that women are the ones laden with a disproportionate amount of the caregiving burden, and that we are often the ones who have to put aside our dreams to do it. Hence, are our 'Ambitions' dulled by this?
Though this story was conceived before the pandemic, it was through many national lockdowns then that more severely impacted an increased amount of women all over the world, not only with an increased mental load with having to juggle work and kids at the, but also greater unemployment. Hence, our team, with the top three roles being all helmed by mothers, were frontline witnesses to this unfortunate phenomenon.
We hope this film raises greater awareness about the things unseen, whether it is mental conditions, the caregiving burden, or the person we pass by every day but don't notice.

As much as I wanted to translate the feeling of grief through my own eyes, I was only able to capture a fragment of it. I saw a part of me in Julia: burdened with loss and the constant anxiety from failing. As much as this is only a brief encounter with such intense emotions, I hope that some moments will resonate and empower those who have encountered not only grief, but also those who are struggling to pursue what their heart wants.

Director's statement (Min Yi):
This film is an ode to those who are afraid to make mistakes and disappoint others. In this film, you’ll find that Abby is at an age where she’s exploring her self-identity and believing that she can be her own adult while getting herself into an unwanted situation.
It’s a story about learning to confront your own emotions and lean on others' support when necessary. A takeaway that we hope for you to realize is that it's okay to make mistakes, but how you respond to it afterwards is what matters.
- Creative/Creator statement (Yiqin)
Our team decided to go about a different route to showcase female empowerment and ambition through the theme of unwanted pregnancy. Although it is a female-centric topic, there's an underlying message of acceptance and being comfortable with seeking help that transcends various situations and be applicable to the broader audience.
This was my first time being behind the camera and it has been a dream come true for me, made possible by the 10/10 team that gave their all for this story.

Director Statement:
In this short film, we wanted to focus on the ambition of female characters, and how they may come at odds with one another at first, but actually have more in common when it comes to the ways they would pursue their dreams, and the risks they are willing to take.
As women, support comes in all forms, whether it be harsh truths or just a simple meal and a bowl of soup. Wild Saturdays presents the common challenges that aspiring entrepreneurs would face within the film, and focuses on how these women would handle these challenges and in support of each other. This in turn can be seen in the improved relationship between the mother and daughter, and a new friendship forged within the trio, proving that no dreams are too late to realise.

Clutching onto the possibility of altering the past, she tries her best to get Ah Gong to stay home, not realising that he had already contracted the virus.
In the end, after investing all her hope on his return, Ah Gong does not come back; Jeanine is also unable to call him again. This breaking point sets a pivotal moment that brings Lisa and Jeanine closer when they face their grief together. Furthermore, an unexpected voicemail left behind by Ah Gong helps Jeanine realise that she was never meant to alter the past as this was an opportunity meant for her to move on. Jeanine’s connection with her grandfather eventually reconnects her with her mother.

This collaboration with Leona, Jen, Amanda, Farhanna and Martina has shown me how different we each are, yet still with so much more in common.
Whether we throw punches, swing perfectly, hit the bull’s eye, glide on water or lift 200kg with bare hands… or call action behind the camera, we’re each a daughter, a friend, a dreamer, a woman at heart — We are each uniquely gracefully complex, yet simply woman, simply human at the same time.
Women are strong. Women are beautiful. Women should be celebrated.
These women athletes have found their own way to navigate these confusing times and inspire countless feminine hearts around them. I am privileged to work with the heroines themselves and find my voice through their stories about beauty.

The story of ‘The 12th Man’ blossomed from my love for local music. A close friend of mine joined the Oi/Punk band Gate3 back in 2018 and I was super intrigued by how they perfectly blend both the love for music and local football so well. While performing their live set, the band would have a football placed in the crowd and the audience would mosh and kick the ball around. The first of its kind for me to witness and what joy that brings to me. From there, I fell into a rabbit hole. I was fascinated by the rich culture our local football had, which led me to acquire new friendships and bonds with fellow supporters.
It was when I heard their stories of their support throughout the years that inspired me to dive in deeper into our local football. There are so many unique stories and individuals alike. What is being represented or being told in the headlines were merely the surface of something more passionate. In some sense, the local football scene and the local music scene where I grew up in, had so many similarities both captivating yet haunting. Similar to the music scene, it is both a niche within a niche and I felt the need to tell their untold stories. I hope ‘The 12th Man’ would inspire others outside of the niche as I was.

Director Statement:
Young or old, all of us will have at least one encounter with a neighbour that does not have the same frequency as us. Maybe one that makes noise when we want things to be quiet and another, does things that we cannot live with. An annoying neighbour is a staple in every neighbourhood yet we will never understand their lives if we do not reach out to them. People live in different conditions and lifestyles even though they live in the same apartment building. And that is what makes life quite beautiful and colourful in its own way. When was the last time you really get to know your neighbour and invite them for a meal? When was the last time you actually have a conversation with them? This film explores not only the generational gaps that haunts everyone of every age but also to explore the idea that to make strangers into friends, you must be the one that reaches out your hand. And who knows, you will make a friend or two?

Where do we draw the line between discipline and abuse?
The societal pressures we put on our children to achieve good grades has been portrayed in various forms of media on many occasions.
The aim of this short film wasn’t to do a rethread on that, but instead, present it in a way that fully encapsulated the feeling of dread that permeates those going through it.
As adults, we tend to brush off such matters in favour of good results, but from a child’s point of view going through such an ordeal seemed so harrowing, almost as if it’s a “life or death” scenario.
“Tuition” aims to utilise a style and approach which didn’t just tell the story; but one that would hopefully capture the experience of it as well.
It is in this depiction of dread, that we truly see how much is on the line for each student, if they do decide to help each other. Yet, facing what seems to be insurmountable odds, it is only in the silent support of a fellow neighbour that they are able to get out of this together. More prevalent now in such times of uncertainty, the support they have for each other through what seems like insurmountable odds, is what manages to help them through their adversity. Ultimately, I hope “tuition” is something that resonates with its audience, even after the credits roll.

This series is thus one of many ways in which I seek to remind myself that failure is not a monster to be afraid of, but a friend who will show you unpleasant but necessary truths about yourself.

A parent’s care and concern over his/her child is often manifested in many ways. In our asian society, the love language our parents have is often not in words or touch but in the small gestures that they do for us. As we grow up in different generations, facing different environments and influences, our hopes and dreams may not align with our parents’ hopes and dreams for us. For those of us who have insisted in choosing a path less travelled and we have to succeed, did we make the wrong decision? Did we disappoint our parents? In this film, we explored the regrets one may have in making bold decisions towards ourselves and our parents. Beyond dreams and aspirations, perhaps there lies a bigger purpose in life.
]]>Down the hills lie the town proper—the habitation of Ilocano and Isneg natives. The incorporation of these two groups in a single town does not appear to be trouble-free in the beginning. Ilocanos, who firstly inhabit the land in the late 1960s, doubt the brotherhood the Isnegs are capable of imparting, chiefly due to their account of impalation—an act or instance of wounding or killing someone with a knife or a sharp stake. Traditionally, dispatching gives pride among the Isneg natives. This particular custom has viewed by Ilocanos as a threat to their lives, resulting to prohibition of personal agricultural lands from the Isnegs.
Later, these two groups of townsmen learn about the principle of "panagwawagi", a fundamental concept of brotherhood that could withstood disparate and ageless circumstances and trying times.
]]>One day, Josh calls Lila after sending her a gift. Despite feeling touched, Lila still finds herself irritated as Josh says that he’s going out for a bit to meet a friend and dismisses her suggestion to stay home. Lila was unable to do anything about it and instead calls her best friend, Isa, to seek comfort. Lila complains about her boyfriend’s carelessness when cases of the coronavirus in the country continue to rise. Isa subtly asks if Josh knows, hinting on a secret that Lila has been hiding. After ending the conversation, Lila was surprised to receive another call from Josh, who reveals that he makes a detour and is now waiting outside of her house. He wanted to see and hug her after not being able to for 6 months due to the pandemic. He blames it on what he calls “a made up virus.” Eventually, this fueled Lila’s anger and resulted in a fight.
Days have gone by after their fight but Lila was still unresponsive to Josh. He worries that something might have happened and opted to call Isa who reveals that Lila was in quarantine for days now after being identified as a PUI. Shocked and worried, Josh feels annoyed that they kept it a secret. Isa scoffs back as Josh didn’t even believe in the virus in the first place. After ending the call, Josh swallows his pride and does some research to educate himself. He hurriedly goes to Lila’s house in full gear, now wearing a mask and face shield unlike his first visit. Unfortunately, no one seems to be home. Nonetheless, Josh patiently waits in hopes of seeing her and gaining assurance of her safety. With a soft call of his name, Lila suddenly appears, returning home from receiving her negative test result. As the two express their remorse and exchange their apologies, they walk on with a brighter outlook to the situation.

They kiss each other intensely until they start to take off each other’s clothes. Aliyah then grabs the condom from her bag and gives it to Vince. They stop kissing and Vince looks at Aliyah with confusion. Having thought that Aliyah knows what to do, he tries to give the condom back to her. Aliyah shakes her head and gives her the same look of confusion. Realizing that they both have no idea on what to do and how to use the condom, Vince decides to look it up online. They search it up on google and click the first link of instructions that they see. They quickly skim through the instructions and try to follow what they read. Vince tries to put the condom on but fails to do so. He tries again and it still doesn’t stay put. He hands it over to Aliyah to let her try to do it. The two keep trying but they don't succeed. Aliyah tries to stretch the condom, thinking that it's just not stretched enough. While doing this, she accidentally lets go of one end and the condom flicks to Vince's face. Vince and Aliyah look at each other and they burst out laughing. Vince motions to the door, asking Aliyah if she'd like to eat instead. Aliyah nods her head, the two quickly put on their clothes and head out of the room. As the credits roll, a short clip of the couple eating and laughing together at a fast food chain is shown.

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” ― Nikola Tesla
New age spirituality is becoming a trend around the world. Moving away from traditional religion, the foundations of new age spirituality are built upon both eastern and western religious traditions.

The characters in Sleep With Me long for intimacy - whether it is a 14-year old on his first crush, a 65-year old divorcee on the rebound, or a couple who have drifted apart and are trying to find their way back to each other. The series was an opportunity to explore this need for connection and conventional and unconventional expressions of love in a humorous way. The underlying message here is about the need for communication in relationships. Singapore divorce rates in recent years show that the proportion of divorcees, aged 45 years and above have risen significantly. Hence, at the heart of the series is a couple working on their 16-year old marriage, and from there other relationship dramas involving their family members unfold. In Sleep With Me, I wanted to create a series that was script and performance-driven, with strong characters and a style of humour that is sharp and bittersweet. I hope viewers will see a bit of themselves in all the characters. Enjoy the series!

Director Statement:
This film is inspired by my ‘resting b*tch face’. When I was younger, I didn’t smile so much. People often thought that I was sad, tired, or unapproachable. I soon realised that it could have been my face. I thought, what if I had a permanent smiley face?
As I developed the story, I found out that there are people with a rare condition known as Moebius Syndrome. They can’t control their facial muscles and have a real inability to smile.
This film is a metaphor for people who face struggles fitting into society.

Director Statement:
Growing up in Singapore, it had always seemed easier to look the other way and to mind our own business. Probing or meddling in other people’s affairs would almost always elicit a rebuke. I have always loved exploring the universal themes of fearlessness, honour, morality and the dilemma of the “right things” versus doing things right. Our decisions define who we are and sometimes we make bad decisions to take the easy way out. “TRADE SECRETS” is a fictional story that depicts the life of Wing, a University Student that is put in a moral dilemma when she witnessed an incident. In her act of doing the right things, it shows the unequivocal courage of a woman who had decided that she will no longer be silent. Let us all be FEARLESS.

Dainta explores the theme of alter egos, that is synonymously found in wrestlers. The main character, Siva, has been carrying a dark, forlorn past with him ever since he left the world of professional wrestling. However, that alternate ego that has been deeply etched in him has manifest into a life of its own, where his inner voices and desires takes a form of his younger self. I find the complexity fascinating and worth exploring. I hope the viewers will enjoy the film, as well as to lend their support to wrestlings in Singapore.

Director Statement:
Back during the circuit breaker that happened last year, I often am heartbroken to see the elders flouting the rules and being bashed online. I can’t help to wonder too, what could possibly be driving them to do the things they do? I came to realise after talking to some of them while I was buying food - they were all alone at home for 2 months. Some of them even shared how their friend could be sick at home but is too weak to go out to the doctors or even find help and no one would know - How left behind they could feel, how insignificant they seem to be in this metropolis and how we should treasure them more. In this story, I hope to touch on the fears of growing old and alone in this fast-developing country. How would they face death at their age, an age range associated with wisdom and maturity? Will it be any easier for them? Will death be any less kind to them?
]]>Upholding his journalistic integrity, Dev seeks to present both sides of the story while battling against self-censorship and misinformation.
A Viddsee Original Production
Director’s Statement:
Spending half my lifetime in Bukit Panjang, it is well known that the heavily forested areas and the old rail corridors behind our estate play hosts to small pockets of people who engage in the sale of contraband cigarettes. They have been nicknamed by the media as the "Drain Walkers" because of their constant usage of Bukit Panjang's extensive network of storm drains to travel around town to sell their products or purchase necessities before retreating into their temporary forest homes of tents.
When reading the media’s published exposés about these "Drain Walkers", I felt that it portrayed a very one-dimensional perspective of the subjects, painting all of these people as in a singular, negative light, they were labelled with the connotation of being deviant, illegal immigrants, foreigners etc.
We readers never got to hear both sides of the story, only hearing a biased perspective. Are these people really who the news labelled them to be? And with misinformation in journalism and factionalism on the rise, how easy would it have been for the media to just draw up the lines on who is bad and who's not based on what the news wants to show us?

A Viddsee Original Production
Director’s Statement:
In Between these Pages focuses on identity as experienced by Imani, a Malay woman. It reflects my feelings that currently personhood seems pinned down to the performative ways we try to adhere to constraints of certain labels. Chosen or given. As seen in the film, it is often with little room for contradictions or space to break from stereotypes. Creator’s Statement: In Between These Pages seeks to provide a canvas to discuss our own social values; to analyse what it means to rewrite one’s own journey whilst navigating through traditional values; and the accountability of our own identity in relation to society-at-large. Through the characters, we learn to compromise, coming to terms with the biases exist in all of us.

Filmmaker Statement:
Preloved Daughter covers the story of a Malay girl in search of her real identity (Chinese) after finding out that she is adopted since young. When I read the story, I was touched. While some give up their children for various reasons, others in this world have a selfless and unconditional love for children who are not their own. This brings us to think about the concept of family and a mother’s love. Family isn’t only in relation to blood ties; family is where one feels he/she belongs as well. The show also reflects a time of my growing up years – a time in the 1980s – where we searched for our identity as a young Singaporean in this fast-changing society.
In an ever-changing world, we’re always in search of something new, something more. But it’s not just about what we’re looking for – it’s what we have all this while – that will pull us through the toughest times. In this time of the pandemic, Preloved Daughter seems even more relevant, giving us hope, and reminding us that with strong family support and love, we can overcome the difficulties in life.

MAN’S BEST FRIEND: A DOGUMENTARY looks at shedding a light on four different stories through the eyes of Singapore’s loyal canine companions, and the intricate relationships they share with their human family.
With the dawn of a pandemic that brought about waves of uncertainty, 2020 had been an especially hard year for many of us. The idea of introducing a film like MAN’S BEST FRIEND: A DOGUMENTARY came to us at a time when we felt the growing importance of sharing a little more love and a little more compassion to the world.
Leia, Nikkou, Whisky and Frisbee have showered upon us, mere strangers, a lot of love in such a short period of time; and we hope that same kindness and affection we’ve experienced transcends through screens and time.

Understanding how these 6 super-musicians are redefining their art has inspired me and I hope that it will also inspire you.

Love makes men feel like heroes and leaves women on cloud nine. Many love stories have been made retelling the love between strong men and women. For his directorial debut, Safiyuddin wanted to showcase a love story for those who feel the most but has the least voice. The Down Syndrome’s community has long been seen as a community that needs taking care of but everyone deserves to feel like heroes. Through ‘Not Your Ordinary Love Story’, he hopes to be able to open the backdrop and let viewers have a peek into the lives of these communities and their loved ones as they fight for their chance to love like any of us.

Director Statement:
After nearly a decade of doing drama and narrative formats, I wanted to explore documentaries and I ventured first into doing three overseas episodes of Extraordinary Prisons (Mandarin) for ThreeSixZero in 2017, Those were shot in Atlanta USA & Palwan Philippines and I caught the bug to non fiction. Since then, I had been researching for a slate of socially responsible documentaries to do and “Invisible People” was one of the first of this slate of what I called “Sustainable Documentaries” - socially responsible, non exploitive shorts that hopefully trigger action. This project is very challenging because of the current Pandemic circumstances which limits the activity of our subject but we are hopeful of a story with a heart.

Director Statement:
"Mama" encapsulates certain events and moments I have witnessed while growing up with my special needs sister. Through this film, I wanted to show the determination of a mother and the fear she faces as she journeys through Singapore in search for her runaway autistic daughter. As we dive deeper into her headspace, the people she meets along the way represent a part of her that wishes her situation will remain as it is, and another part of her that wishes to let go and be selfish for once. Ultimately, this film hopes to spotlight the mental state of caregivers of adults with special needs which is often overlooked by society and even themselves.

Director Statement:
Timeless is a love story about loneliness and insecurities between an old couple. In a time where people have become more aware of mental health issues, I still believe that not enough light has been shed on the mental health faced by senior citizens.
While doing research for this film, I realized that old couples go through the same problems as youngsters and the demons of insecurities and loneliness are just as prominent in senior citizens as well. Therefore, I would like this film to start a conversation based on this.
However, it is not all doom and gloom. When there is darkness, there is light and hence I want to share some hope too during these troubled times. At its core, Timeless is a love story between two humans and a showcase of what the power of love can do.
]]>It appears to be following a very ordinary day in the life of Yong, an 80-year-old Hakka Chinese man. Yong makes longevity buns for a living, and today, like any other day, he prepares the buns in the early morning. He then brings them to the temple that he frequents to share them with the God of Heaven (Tian Gong), his “boss”. On the bus there, he encounters a young boy who unwittingly causes him to look back on his life with bittersweet nostalgia. Fluctuating between memories of love and loss, Yong finally gathers a sense of acceptance for his life and impending death. And in that acceptance, blossoms a new beginning.

Heart Shape 莲蓉包 is a sprinkle of magic in the ordinary. It is the beginnings that blossom after endings, and an aching solitude where love still finds its way to flow.
]]>In these standards of the world, they ask themselves questions and create a "me" of what they want. MoonD Garcina, 29, said, "Biological gender is becoming more and more diversified, and social gender is also becoming increasingly blurred through gender issues and trans issues recently, so I wonder if gender exists." In the end, I think individuals exist as 'me' and not as men and women created by society."
The film focuses on stories about sexual minorities, among others, Drag. Living in numerous prejudices and standards, they break down the oppressive world and further capture the time they spend searching for another me. In addition to confronting prejudice and oppression against sexual minorities, it is also a window to encourage others and future generations who dream of drag artists.
]]>As day passes by, Benj suddenly felt the feelings he never had before. Sadness. He kept making himself busy everyday, but after that, he always find himself crying to sleep.
]]>Depression comes as a different kind of pain depending on the person experiencing it. Countless words catch me, water fills my surroundings, and all the sounds and sense of time around me disappear. Once a filter called depression is applied, a good event is also recognized as an unfortunate event.
They say. I want to live like a zombie, like a cancer cell, or without fear. The voices of women wishing to reach "there" beyond depression are growing in their ears.

Director Statement: I have struggled with my weight for as long as I could remember. And when I fully graduated from dad bod to obese bod, I became worried. It is somewhere between these two bod sizes that I started watching the Twilight movies. And when I began putting thoughts onto paper about a vampire story set in Singapore, I felt that it wasn’t enough.
Something was missing. Something personal...
Everything only clicked in place when I combined the idea of a vampire comedy and my weight insecurities: what if someone struggling with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy turns into a vampire and is trapped to look like so for eternity? I chuckled a little...then I chuckled a little more. And Siti Vampire was born.
Siti Vampire is my homage to the Hong Kong horror-comedies of the eighties like Mr. Vampire and Encounters Of The Spooky Kind. At once heartwarming, funny with a gnarly splatter of blood, the series is about friendship, self-acceptance and how sucky (pun sorely intended!) being a vampire can truly be!

Director Statement: Now more than ever, businesses are forced to react as quickly as possible, to stay relevant to their customers’ needs. As an entrepreneur myself, my team has realised that we have to move beyond just selling a good product or service, and really focus on how our business can best fit and resonate with our patrons. Businesses need to invest in themselves by innovating and searching for new opportunities to future-proof their offerings. “Outside the Box” is a captivating docu-series that showcases imaginative leaders who have found their innovative spirit from their personal life experiences. Intimate, inspiring and authentic, we see leaders share how they’ve infused creativity with processes and design-thinking to steer and transform their business. As a filmmaker, my role for “Outside the Box” is to present the unlimited possibilities and potential for change among different industries and to show how a successful business model can simply start from just having empathy for their customers.

]]>Setelah perbincangan itu membuat saya belajar beberapa hal.
Anak-anak sangat beresiko untuk terkena dampak buruk dari bahaya asap rokok. Anak mempunyai sistem imun dan alat pernafasan yang masih berkembang dan rentan terhadap berbagai penyakit. Anak mempunyai saluran pernafasan yang kecil sehingga membuat mereka lebih sering untuk bernafas. Adanya asap rokok disekeliling mereka membuat anak, sebagai perokok pasif, lebih mudah terkena dampak dari bahaya asap rokok.
Hal ini membuat saya terinspirasi dan untuk membuat karya film sederhana ini untuk menyampaikan pesan yang mewakili seluruh anak-anak Indonesia.
Stop merokok dari sekarang!
Anak-anak sangat membutuhkan udara segar, udara sehat tanpa asap rokok.
Berilah contoh yang baik terhadap anak-anak!
Mari kita wujudkan Anak-anak Indonesia Bebas Dari Asap Rokok!

Director Statement: I was raised by a really “pantang-fearing” mom who will lash out at me when I shake my leg. Or slap my hand when I point at a temple idol.
Instead of instilling the fear-of-the-unknown in me, I grew up finding Chinese customs to be rather at odds with one another. We put up red signs to signal either a celebration or a funeral but why do the more superstitious folks cast more negative anxiety towards attending the latter?
I don’t think you will be given a red thread at a Catholic funeral for fear that something “unclean” will follow you home. In fact, why do we even need to see a Chinese funeral as being “unclean” or “pantang” at all in the first place?
This film is a look at the rules we unknowingly set for ourselves as we grow older and how a child who is blind to all such taboos is more clear to see what is wrong.

Director's Statement: We often read news articles that tell us about bizarre and quirky incidents around Singapore. However, these articles tend to state incidents as they are, sometimes without telling us the other side of the story - the human motivations behind why people might do the things they do. Because of this, we were inspired to write stories that showed this other side. While our stories are ultimately fiction, they are inspired by these real, human characters around Singapore, with some truth to the events that unfold.
At the same time, we want the episodes to be a social commentary on the current state of things. These are people left out of the spotlight, people with quiet struggles that we often take for granted, and lives that do not fit into the national narrative. These characters experience loneliness and isolation in the city as the city rapidly develops around them. They have slipped through the cracks, or are left behind, unable to catch up. We want to show their version of life, and how they try to survive.

]]>The very next day, Ada lets a lost girl by the name of Evan inside the house without Inang's permission. Even though Inang feels resistance in her, she understands and cares for them so she lets Evan stay with them as well. With this, Inang does not permit them to go outside, let someone in without her permission anymore, or even stare out the window for too long.
In their supper, Ada and Evan confronts Inang about the life outside that house in which Inang admits that she doesn't fully understand what's outside but she says that the people outside are sinful and the world is a very dangerous place to be part in, so it is better for them to stay inside.
The next day, a knock on the door comes again. Evan lets a young man by the name of Joven. Ada warns Evan but she keeps on insisting they should help them. Joven on the other hand asks about the house and if they are able to go outside, but Ada repels him by saying that their mother (Inang), does not want them to go outside because the world is dangerous, Joven counters that statement and says that it is safe and Inang is lying to them.
Inang wakes up to find them having a conversation. Disappointed and furious, she rushes and banish Joven outside the house and locks Ada and Evan in, and says that they are not able to go outside for the rest of their lives.
After Inang displayed her furious side, Ada and Evan believed what Joven told them and Inang is lying to them by locking them in and scared that she might kill them in the process. Then, Ada and Evan plans to kill Inang before she can.
The next day, Inang wakes up tied to her bed as Ada and Evan stands and confronts her. Inang, being caring and does not really intend to lock them in and hurt them, admits that she is doing all of hat because she loves them both even though they won't understand. She loves them even though sin has finally take over them and they are blinded from the truth. Joven's words have been an influence to both Ada and Evan as Ada destroys the furnitures and Evan kills Inang by choking her. Unable to let her breathe.
Inang dies as both of them escapes and leaves the house destroyed. Mysteriously, we can hear a voice chanting a poem as Inang comes back to life again. She wakes up and finds the house destroyed with no memory of what happened.
The story ends as we go from the beginning and we complete a never-ending cycle of Inang's pain and suffering.

Director Statement: As a filmmaker, I’ve always had a keen interest in genre-storytelling, how narrative elements and visual aesthetics can help categorise films. Since young, I’ve always been interested in folklores and fables, myths and legends. And also, cartoons, anime and animation is an integral part of my childhood, even until now. So what happens when I combine all 3? You get Fantastic Fables of the Southern Seas. To retell the founding of Singapura by Sang Nila Utama as a space opera is an idea that has been brewing in me for years already, ever since I saw the short animation Magnetic Rose directed by Koji Morimoto and written by one of my favourite director, Satoshi Kon. Magnetic Rose is part of Memories, a 1995 Japanese animated science fiction anthology. When Love Death + Robots came out on Netflix in 2019, I was overwhelmed. The idea to expand my idea into an anthology series started to grow in me. Hence, I started researching into other tales native to Singapore and this region, and how they can be reimagined into starkly contrasting different genres. That is the genesis of Fantastic Fables of the Southern Seas, which currently comprises of 4 stories, 3 inspired by local folklore and 1 original story inspired by our national mascot, the Merlion, that does take on a rather fantasy, folklorish image. I am very thankful for the amazing team that have come together to make this project possible. We all hope this humble series will mark the beginning of something bigger, more ambitious, more fantastical, in time to come.

Director Statement: A Place to Call Home tries to seek out and quietly reconsider - What makes a family? The obvious implication here is with regards to ‘chosen families’ such as the foster family presented in the series but to consider a family with softer relationship dynamics by disentangling the dramatic tropes that come with a family drama.
The series depicts a family that resolves its difficulties and problems through respectful healthy dialogue, understanding and openness. This is something I think not a lot of fiction portrays because - drama and conflict is something you reflexively attempt to heighten to extremes in storytelling but also because it’s not something too familiar or relatable to most people, as I personally think, most families do not work through their conflicts in healthy ways.
The series, however, is not trying to present a family that is shy or lacking in its pains and conflicts but to ensure that it shows a family that continues to function with love by embracing their issues with generosity and respectfulness. Not by resorting to tactics that would compromise those values. They have differences but they are quick to address and nip them in the bud, work on their pain points, compromise for one another and themselves when able and without ever allowing their differences to result in dysfunction.
Honestly, all of this sounds like an idealistic dream.
But that’s also kind of what filmmakers just… do. We present, evoke and conjure such dreams into reality by simply presenting it as a plausible truth. And my dream is simple - to create homes in harmony.
Not just for me. But for everyone else too.

The series depicts a family that resolves its difficulties and problems through respectful healthy dialogue, understanding and openness. This is something I think not a lot of fiction portrays because - drama and conflict is something you reflexively attempt to heighten to extremes in storytelling but also because it’s not something too familiar or relatable to most people, as I personally think, most families do not work through their conflicts in healthy ways.
The series, however, is not trying to present a family that is shy or lacking in its pains and conflicts but to ensure that it shows a family that continues to function with love by embracing their issues with generosity and respectfulness. Not by resorting to tactics that would compromise those values. They have differences but they are quick to address and nip them in the bud, work on their pain points, compromise for one another and themselves when able and without ever allowing their differences to result in dysfunction.
Honestly, all of this sounds like an idealistic dream.
But that’s also kind of what filmmakers just… do. We present, evoke and conjure such dreams into reality by simply presenting it as a plausible truth. And my dream is simple - to create homes in harmony.
Not just for me. But for everyone else too.

Director Statement: How does one define essentialism? What type of work is essential to Singapore’s society? Essentialism has been a controversial topic since the beginning, and it is no different, when The Straits Time pushed out an article “essential, or not” - Singapore thinks that artists are not essential to society especially in the time of a pandemic.
I look at the knee jerk, triggered reactions of artists, and I ask myself why are people upset? I ask myself, do I feel that way? Does our work define our sense of self-worth? Then I realised people may have associated the idea of being essential to the idea of being important. No one likes to think that what they do, is not important to society. To explore this further, I feel like I have to question my own relationship with my work - filmmaking.
Reductive thinking is dangerous, that’s where we experience inequality. Our inability to appreciate the nature of each job, to over categorise, is what creates a divide in society. After all, every job is created by man to fill a gap and to solve a problem or enhance society. In Your Shoes, essentially, is my way of exploring the connection and perception of work beyond filmmaking.
All jobs have it's identity and function, it’s not about what is essential. The real question begs - what is our relationship with our work?

One night, Kheng encounters Ben’s EDM (Electronic Dance Music) playlist and is inexplicably hooked. To everyone’s surprise, the music brings Kheng to life and introduces a world where death sentences are drowned out by deafening beats. The music gradually brings the family together, revealing unlikely lessons about how to love, live, and be happy, in the strange and wonderful rave that is life.

Director's Statement:
Old man and the scene is a film that focuses on the familial relationship between the old man and his grandson. Every generation had its own genre of music. Electronic Dance music grew, changed with time and had gained dominance with the youth of our day. Its generally heavy and rhythmic beats make one feel like moving to it subconsciously. The story was birthed by the story writer when she encountered middle-aged uncles on their e-scooter blasting loud electronic dance music inspired by mandopop. Perhaps, music is a language that can transcend through generations and can serve as a distraction for our otherwise mundane lives. In the film, both Ben and Kheng had their own sets of problems and issues and electronic dance music became a common escape ground. As Kheng sorted out his own feelings about his mortality, Ben thinks through the reason his father had for leaving him. A man whose life is ending and a boy who is on a cusp of being an adult rekindled their family ties through the magic and beats of EDM.

Director's Statement:
You probably have a story about forging (or wanting to forge) your parent’s signature, and it feels like a universal experience for everyone. We're familiar with the school-day fear of doing badly for exams, and probably had a few other tricks to escape punishment.
Alison’s story is a classic coming-of-age moment, and brings about the question of what we value as a person and as an Asian society.

As Singaporeans we often think ourselves as tolerant and kind people, but as a city densely populated with migrant workers, we sometimes can’t avoid falling into certain pitfalls that reveal some of the casual racism ingrained in our society. Through the lens of KS and Feng “Guang Ming” is a slice of piece that reflects the everyday Singaporean, pragmatic and resilient in the face of a fast-paced dynamic city.
The title “Guang Ming” reflects KS’s principles and outlook on life. In the Chinese language, “Guang Ming” means open heartedness and bright light. The Chinese idiom “Guang Ming Zheng Da” means to have a clear conscience, which is a guiding principle in KS’s life. Despite his bleak financial situation, Feng and him live a simple and content life. The introduction of a Chinese migrant worker sees him struggle to stay rooted to his beliefs whilst navigating his role as a father. Even in the face of a moral dilemma, KS remains steadfast and resolute - but sometimes doing the right thing feels wrong. Things aren’t always black and white, they’re usually grey.
We are never just one thing, whether it’s our ethnicity or nationalities. At its core, this film is about two men striving to give their best to their family whilst living on the fringes of society. With all that’s happening in the world, I hope this film reminds us to keep on keeping on, and for us to hold our loved ones closer.

Director's Statement:
Love within soulmates will always remain pure and unconditional.
Director's Statement:
As Singaporeans, we like to believe ourselves as a society that is tolerant and gracious. But we are also pragmatic, sometimes to a fault that often makes our relationships with people appear merely transactional. Alas, we can still be quick to judge and measure people’s worth based on the convenience they bring us.
This reality is easily reflected when we engage domestic helpers. Do we really consider them as family, or is it just a loose and fragile term that is easily jeopardised when you consider certain lines crossed? Would it matter if you realised that they are a victim after all?
“Eggshell” tells the story of a single mother who is caught in a dilemma after discovering that her domestic helper pregnant. The dilemma is further complicated when she learns that her helper is a victim. Now, her decisions have gone beyond her obligations as an employer, and into something more personal - from woman to woman, she relates to the seriousness of the situation that should be handled with much sensitivity and deliberation.
The title “Eggshell" is the embodiment of all three combined; The idea that most helpers’ relationships with their employers feel like treading on eggshells, the theme of fragility and the malleable concept of “family”, and the delicacy of situations that are relatable and gender-centric to women.
This short film is not an easy piece. It is not a female empowerment piece either. In “Eggshell”, I hope to offer a window into the perspective of the female characters as they arrive at an unspoken mutual understanding. That all things considered, some relationships are not just black and white.

Director's Statement:
Various incidences in 2019 made evident to me the power of the internet and the negative side effects of giving people a platform to voice their opinions. Instances of disseminating a persons personal information and encouraging fellow netizens to engage in cyber-bully was so rampant, that Singapore had to enact a new doxxing law prohibiting disseminating someone else’s personal information online.
Personally, I was for this law. Information is spread so quickly, and we are so quick to share this information and pass judgement, without verifying the facts or waiting for the full story. Our sense of justice drives us to voice our disapproval and to punish these transgressors in our own ways. We argue it is for the greater good, because their victims deserve justice, because people deserve to know about the “criminals” that coexist with us in society.
But how much punishment is enough? If the offence has been dealt with by the law, do thee people really deserve a “life-time” social punishment?

Director's Statement:
The story of Bulan has taken so many turns that coincidentally, it made a full circle. The story and the key element hasn’t changed since its original pitch but the way it was being told certainly has. The film now is a strong reflection of the relationship between my mother and I.
As I was writing the story, the initial goal was to write about how close Izwan and his grandfather was, a wishful thinking of my relationship with my distant late father. But as I wrote the story, it became more about Izwan neglecting the love his mother has for him. And indirectly, it was about my relationship with my mother, who has been by my side since day one, including her aiding me in this very short film. The film now after coming full circle, is a story that I really love. It is personal yet detached from me, in every way possible.

Director's Statement:
I have always been attracted to stories with an ironical twist. Between a story of a hijabi girl aspiring to be a professional wrestler or a young mother battling for the soul of her stepchild with a Pontianak, I often find that film is the best medium to have these stories told.
Bak Kwa continues my yearning to tell such stories again.
To me, the best short films are those that fearlessly tackle serious issues head on...perhaps with a light touch of pathos and comedy. Bak Kwa talks about lofty themes about religion and our generation’s conflict of carving our own path versus those expected of our parents. But hopefully done in a non-cloying and non-pandering way.
I hope you’ll enjoy the film as much as I had making it.
Based on true story.

]]>During a spectacular riot in class, Damian becomes aware of Enzo's anguish and pain. The laughter and rejoicing turns into cruel abominations, and the innocent games generate more bitterness than enjoyment. Now Damian not only has to face Enzo, but himself as well.
Director´s Note
Innocent and adolescent games can border on cruelty, becoming violent for some, joyful for others. Duality accompanies us always, but it is during adolescent years that awareness of it is difficult.
I have always been interested in stories of young teenagers, especially when it is palpable that the group identity is not the sum of individual identities. The concept of the mass-man (by intellectual Ortega y Gasset) occurs in many situations throughout life. By affinity or self-experience I believe high school is the best place to portray it — it is where we shape our personality. The mass-man feels safe knowing he is identical to the others.
In Surfaces, a group of teenagers repeatedly abuse a weaker and smaller adolescent, all within a framework of order and artificial calmness imposed by the school. What I want to differentiate is not the victim, but one of the bullies, who begins to question himself. The narrative is posed from Damian´s point of view. What is the real purpose of his actions? Acceptance? A sense of belonging?
At a distance, these acts and games may seem innocent, juvenile and without prejudice, but are they really?

]]>Unlike cicadas, human children to live in society has to create masks adapting to their environment. In the contemporary world the artificiality and virtuality can be interpreted as a kind of plastic surface, a veil, a bulkhead that takes us away from the real world, thus it is the plastic bag the representation of a suffocating mask that acts as a filter that translates the common understanding of the reality of globalization.
"The boy who collected skins" emerges from the play I did with my nephew. At the age of 4 years (it currently has 7 years old) he loved collecting shells of cicadas in the trees surrounding the house of my mother .. In the few days that we spend together during the year, both of us suggest some ludic games, moments where I could see my nephew faced with surfaces which mask reality.
]]>Director's Statement:
I had the idea of exploring a young girl's pain as she navigates through the expectations put upon her by family, society and inevitably herself.
Society tends to judge people constantly, putting labels on a person based on what they see or think they see. I wanted to look at the layers of a person and subvert the dichotomies of good and bad, mature and immature, weak and powerful, etc.
In doing so, I find a nuanced ambivalence that is both beautiful and heartbreaking, which aptly describes the human experience.

]]>The film presents various views on death by ordinary people and one family dealing with the death of their loved one.
Director's Statement:
The reason why I named the English title 'Something Remained' is that I think there is still something remained in reality after a person's death. Even if it feels like there's nothing left materially, Such non-material legacies─the conversation, the mood...─ will be remain in our life forever.
For the original title '開花1953', 開花(Gae-hwa) means 'Blooming flowers' Meanwhile, 開化(Gae-hwa), which is homonym for 開花 in Korean means adopting innovative thinking and understanding new cultures.

]]>Although Tam's condition is not explicitly stated, the film addresses the topic of autism, and the lack of knowledge behind this disorder, especially in the 90s. Delivered in the spirit of acceptance, the film aims to portray the innocence of childhood, and centers on Hidayat’s dilemma in doing the right thing for his friend.
The director dedicates this film to Autism Association (Singapore).
The Autism Association (Singapore) is one of the Social Service Organisations in Singapore dedicated to supporting individuals with autism and helping them lead meaningful and quality lives in society. It provides a broad spectrum of services for people with autism in Singapore, encompassing education, vocational and life skills training and residential care. Since 1992, they have impacted the lives of over 1000 clients and students.
Director's Statement:
No two autistic persons go about things in exactly the same way and it is incontrovertibly unjust to label them as a mere category. Just like any other individual, they have the ability to experience emotions and to give affection. In 'The Buddy', we see Tam, a primary school boy, who builds a friendship with Hidayat, his classmate-buddy. The friendship is innocent, pure and genuine.
]]>The director dedicates this film to New Hope Community Services.
In 2003, New Hope Community Services was founded to provide a temporary shelter to homeless men and families in Singapore. Today, New Hope has helped more than 900 displaced families and 1000 displaced individuals find their feet again. It offers mentoring, life skills training and support group services.
Director's Statement:
In a fast moving society like Singapore, most of us have the instinct to distrust strangers just like our protagonist in this story. When we first received the story of Rashid Bakar, we wanted to tell the story from the perspective of one of the families he helped. Shelter tells the story of a jaded 17-year-old teenager who, as the family’s sole breadwinner, has been tasked with responsibilities that no one at his age deserves.

Director's Statement:
The short film explores the role of a woman in her family and how it changes when she gets married.
It's set in a context where women only have the traditional Reunion Dinner with her husband's parents, something we take it for granted and treat it as a norm. In order to portray the changes, we create a story about a single mother and her daughter. And using a few scenes to show the key points of their life which set on the reunion dinner backdrop to develop the relationship of the mother and daughter.
Music was also kept minimal to allow the performances of the actors to shine but enough to dramatize scenes when characters are not speaking. Referencing "Yi Yi", a film by one of my favorite Taiwanese filmmakers, Edward Yang, we try to underplay the emotions and hope to deliver the story's message.
]]>Director's Statement
Made for an assignment for school, 'The Choice' deals with the topic of arranged marriages that have been still quite prevalent among my friend circle. This subject has always made me ponder about how it can suppress the dream and choice of individual on their life partner.
India’s 3,000-year-old caste system was meant to regulate order in the society. It enforces that an individual can only marry only within one's own caste. While the caste system in Singapore is far more muted than that of India’s, the prejudice and segregation still stands today. In Singapore’s Indian society, arranged marriages do take place and many of them are based on this caste system.
By showing them the repression a fellow Singaporean is facing due to the traditional practice of an arranged marriage, we want our audience to realize that the choice of a marriage partner is not something that comes easily to everyone. We also aim to raise awareness that such traditions still exist. It can help people better understand the Indian community and culture. While there are those who believe in this tradition, the younger Indian community may not feel the same way, and this would be a platform for them to voice their opinions without offending their parents.

]]>In this era of globalization, the function of women has begun to develop in the appeal first, the more women career, high-educated women, even some women participate in the world of politics, social, and so forth. So do not be surprised if a beautiful leader comes forward. This is a matter of great concern, where women are slowly denied their own likes who want to look dominant in the presence of the opposite sex.
As this story is a great example of early behavior due to social factors of things that encourage girls to show their existence that they can become dominant of boys. And also this story alludes to parents, how he educates his child, as children grow older adults should give understanding and teach to realize that children should have the attitude and morals, women are very different compared to boys. And a child has brought their own temperament from birth, which is a derivative of one or both parents.
Here parents hold an important role as role models for their children. Children will identify with their parents, including in their behavioral patterns. From the family is also implanted about the values of life, principles, morality, way of thinking, customs, and beliefs of parents to their children. The social environment also shapes the behavior patterns of a child. Children are excellent imitators, they see, absorb and imitate all the things around them, especially what is done by their parents.
Here are the topics on how parents educate their children that I pour in this film, to offend to parents what kind of moral behavior and children who reflect to their parents. I discuss this film from my pandnag angle to the downside of how a mother educates a girl.

BACKGROUND:
In July 2014, Singapore’s National Library Board sought to ‘pulp’ three children’s titles from its libraries, citing a ‘pro-family’ stance in face of the books’ references to same-sex parenting. By the time public debate ensued, one title had already been discarded. The remaining two titles were eventually re-shelved into the adult section.
Director's Note:
In a global climate rife with (mis)judgement and misconception, conflict is often borne out of an imposition of individual standards of morality and complicated by our innate fear of the unknown.
When we cling tighter to our beliefs, to what degree do we mirror each other in opposition? How easily are we misdirected by the limits of our perception?
Inspired by actual events, Late Night Talk Show examines the duality between our attachment to our own deeply held ideals, and our hunger for affinity. It’s only when we're open to listening without judgement that we’re able to find deeper and more genuine connection – and begin the necessary work of understanding another.
I wrote this film also because I wanted to portray young Singaporeans in an intelligent and emotionally complex light; to capture a glimpse of the depth and range with which we each react, challenge, and adapt to the cultures and systems we’ve lived in; and to see if these arbitrary boundaries could be navigated with more grace.

]]>Today Tonny is recognized as one of the most skilled in his profession and is one of very few who has specialized in geotechnical- and environmental drilling in confined areas such as basements and elevator shafts, where space is extremely limited and conventional drilling rigs can not get inside.
Director's Statement: Take the enthusiasm of a child, when you give it a shovel and say: Go ahead and dig. Now exchange the shovel with a mini drilling rig and you have got Tonny.
Tonny is very passionate about his craft and is also a fabulous communicator which got me playing with the idea of making a film about a craft very few have ever heard of and a man with an almost supernatural sensory ability.” Having grown up in a family of entrepreneurs, but having always worked within the Arts, I decided to approach the film as if it was an Artist he was portraying. So instead explaining what a well-digger is; describing Tonny's work processes or going into detail about his machines, I instead focused on what it actually is Tonny's feels and senses when drilling for core samples.

]]>Director's Statement:
I got inspired to write and shoot TransParent because of a joke.
I have a gay brother working in the Middle East for more than 6 years now and he refuses to talk to us frequently via Skype or any platform that would allow us to see his face very often. My mother joked that he had already undergone sex change. We apparently found out that he was just too busy to have video calls and that he could only afford to do voice calls because of his work. In my head, if my brother would undergo sex change, I'd still accept him because that's how he wants to express himself. His gender expression doesn't change the fact that he sacrificed himself to be far from his family just to provide for us; his gender expression doesn't change the fact that he loves us.
In the film, I pushed the concept further and made the main character a transgendered parent: a parent who provides the main source of income of the family, a parent who has a son who thinks his father just couldn't go home because he is too busy because of work, a parent who loves his family so much.
For SOME conservative Filipino family, the concept of having a gay family member is a source of disgrace and I just want our film to let people know that one of the best feelings in the world is to be accepted by the people that you love and care for; there's nothing better than to be accepted by your own family.
]]>This story has been inspired by the Extra-Judicial Killings in the Philippines.
]]>Director's Note:
It is part of life to face obstacles and distress, but the amount of suffering you get, sometimes, depends on the way you deal with these difficult moments. By creating this short film, I tried to show that happy ends, sometimes, are only a matter of having a different point of view.

]]>Director's Statement:
I’ve always been inspired by athletes who do whatever it takes to pursue their passion. I was amazed to discover Singapore’s first three female Olympians, and felt that I should document this part of our history. These pioneers did not feel that they deserved to be documented. But I wanted to honour them; to acknowledge and recognise them.
]]>Director's Statement:
This film was created in the form of a series of GIF animations based on the C. P. Cavafy’s poem.
*C. P. Cavafy: one of the representative Greek poets in the 20th century
Then I recomposed a number of GIF animations into a movie with music.
In the following year, I thought of an idea around ‘continuous updating movies’, which is similar to updating a software.
So I took these GIF animated fishes outside. I called it ‘version 2.0’.
"The Sexual Fish on the BEACH!"
I consider this series of works, several version movies and 2 collections of GIF animations, as one work.

]]>Director's Statement:
Like any other city kid in Manila, I grew up listening to strange tales about the province. Stories of spirits and magical objects piqued my imagination and haunt my dreams. Then moving to New York left me feeling deprived of a cultural nuance one could only experience outside of a modernized city.
So I returned to the Philippines with a crew of Filipino and American filmmakers to produce Mang Abe's Ube. Shooting in the mountains of Rizal and on the streets of Manila, we weaved together an original modern-day folktale.
Looking back at it feels like a dream. It just so happened that we filmed in the very mountains that mark the myth of Bernardo Carpio, the beloved giant. Shackled underground by the Spaniards, he shook the earth and caused the mountains to split apart centuries ago - so the villagers told us.
Working in a big city, one can often forget where one comes from. We Filipinos come from the stories we tell.

]]>The documentary starts with Tay looking out over the twilit city. Offscreen, the filmmaker asks him a question: “Do you think you made a mistake that you are now in the media?” Tay answers, “I kind of do.” The voice then asks, “If you could go back in time, what would you have changed or fixed?” Tay replies, “I would not try to kill myself again.”
Interviews with sympathetic fellow students and a teacher who is also a kathoey demonstrate the level of acceptance of his orientation at his Christian school Saint Joseph Mueang-Ake. This becomes most triumphantly clear when Tay appears at a school Christmas party in a beautiful red dress. But as his tearful mother explains, a single intolerant and violent teacher drove him to attempt suicide. Elsewhere in the film, we see Tay going about his daily life, traveling to and from school, and silently touching up his makeup in front of the mirror.
Tay 是泰文中俗稱的 “kathoey” 或是大家所稱為的將自己打扮成女生的男生，坊間更稱之為“淑女男孩” , ladyboy, 人妖等等。而 Tay 與同伴們更被冠上與形容為第三性別的群組。

影片當中也專訪了一位第三性別的老師，以及Tay 的幾位在 聖教學校的同學，他們對這個課題的接受度與看法。當Tay 以一身紅色的漂亮裙子出席時，他們對這第三性別的接受度已顯而易見。而淚眼汪汪的Tay 媽媽更說出了，老師不負責任的暴力與言語傷害行為更造就了Tay之前走向了自殺的行為。影片中也貫穿著Tay 的日常，以及在鏡子前沈默享受著化妝打扮自己的樂趣...

]]>" 'God damn it!' he shouted, Macondo is surrounded by water on all sides.' " --- "One Hundred Years of Solitude"
The story of this film takes place in the most desolate part of a train trip, where nothing on the ground can be seen except for a broken house. When this house is totally disconnected from the other parts of the trip --- the cities, the countries and forests, just like they are also disconnected from one another --- the train joins them together.
The train is the only witness of the existence of the house, and also the only medium that provides the possibility of connection between the isolated. Only when the noise from the train gets into his ears, he who lives in the house, knows that he is not irrelevant to the rest of the world. He might have witnessed the rise and fall of a remote town, which was built along the track but then disappeared without a trace; or he might have witnessed nothing, for he has been here all alone since the beginning of time. The noise of the train gets into his dreams at night, and wakes him up in the morning. The boundary between dream and reality is never clear; the time flows no more. People on the train might have remembered this house, however, forgetting it at the same moment they turn away their eyes. The connection, as a matter of fact, was never built. The house exists, but it does not; it does not, but it does --- only in the forgotten memories.

]]>Reincarnation is the story of a common man, Siddhartha, who suddenly finds himself the center of a fast growing following, when news of his dream suggesting he is Gandhiji reborn, leaks out. The dream is about Gandhiji's assassination and reveals details that only someone who was there could know. Not just the ordinary public, Siddhartha himself falls prey to his own publicity and increasingly adopts the mannerisms, garb and words of Bapu. He starts conducting prayer meetings that swell with devout followers every day. His fame spreads far and wide even reaching the PM's ears, who decides to take him along to Pakistan in a desperate attempt to resolve the never-ending tension between the neighbors. But who is this man in reality? Could it really be that the great Mahatma has come back to redeem us? Does he go to Pakistan?

]]>It runs like a big family, where the teachers understand each child's unique personality and quirks, and the kids are mischievous, curious and warm. They come from a mix of backgrounds. Some are from loving families who know their child has a chance of learning with the special support and encouragement the school gives. Others are from families who have abandoned them.
In order to care for and teach the 70 or so students it has, Abdi Kasih relies on donations, sponsorship and other kinds of help and partnerships.
And while the school will always welcome any kind of help it can get, be it in the form of donations, materials or knowledge, there's one thing the staff are already experts at: serving with love.
For a closer look at some of the kids and their infectious personalities, check out My Encounter With Beautiful Minds, a photo story by Robert Hector Cristobal here: http://bit.ly/1cYaJkA

马来西亚是个文化大染缸。自独立以来，即使人民已共处了多年，但不同文化与种族的他们之间仍存在着猜疑与误解。偶尔我们会因本身错误的观点与判断而误会了异族。片中的凯文是个八岁的小男孩。自一次家庭内的变化后，凯文的生活模式随着有所改变。此外，凯文也察觉到身边的人对他的态度也似乎有别于过往了。年幼的凯文不明白为什么会有这些改变，但坚强的他仍然继续乐观生活。

]]>Comments by Dr Khoo Gaik Cheng, University of Nottingham - Malaysia: State of Things was made in response to the “Emergency Filmmaking Project: RSVP” organised by Substation in which filmmakers were asked to respond to the state of the world or their immediate environment using digital video. Ong elicits responses from young Singaporeans by giving them two lines on a piece of paper that the film audience isn’t privy to. Many of the respondents only have a vague idea of what the two lines mean. As the audience, we feel our way around the unprovided message like a blind and curious person. In trying to piece together the responses, we are all too aware that it is something uncannily familiar, something learnt in school, whose message is fundamentally idealistic in its nationalist conception but somehow far removed from the reality of most young Singaporeans. It is this ignorance, this game of hidden truths that the filmmaker plays with his audience which needs close scrutiny: ultimately, Ong asks viewers why there is such a gap of comprehension between the meaning of the two lines given and the conjectured meanings that some of the respondents offer. Without giving the game away, let me say that Ong is gesturing toward the marginalisation of minority language in Singapore, a marginalisation made all the more poignant by his deliberate choice of performers at the film’s conclusion. Still, I believe a much broader social context for the interviews would help strengthen the filmmaker’s point about the state of ethnic relations in Singapore today.
