Wrap Party

Instead of the usual wrap party, we decided to hold a film screening of a local film. That's pretty much in line with our vision of creating a local film industry, and the best way to support our fellow filmmakers is by watching their films.

On Tuesday, June 13, we had a screening of "Love Story" for our main cast, crew and their loved ones at Golden Village Marina. "Love Story" is directed by Kelvin Tong.


We also put together a teaser & a trailer for "Exposed!"

The feeling of seeing just that few precious frames of our work on the big screen is beyond exhilarating. And as the scriptwriter, it's truly amazing to see words on A4-sized papers taking on flesh and being blown to size on the silver screen. Wow... The morning before the wrap party, when Eng Tiong and I were down at Marina testing the footage, we were on a high the whole day after seeing the trailers. Talk about addiction...

A really sweet gesture on Golden Village's part is that they co-hosted the event with us. Mr. Kenneth Tan, the managing director of Golden Village, also attended the screening and gave an inspiring speech.

To our cast, crew & everyone involved in this production - couldn't have done it without you. Thank you!

Now we are in the final lap of production - the post-production stage. It's still going to be hectic, putting the movie together. There's also more worries when it comes to marketing, distributing and selling the film. Steep, steep learning curve...

Just before the screening, Kenneth Tan, Golden Village's MD, talks about the beginning of an awareness of Singaporean films in the global market, & his support for local filmmakers. So budding ones take note!
