TRUTH BE TOLD enters its 4th week in the cinemas today!! This is really unexpected and of course, we're extremely delighted! We thought yesterday will be the last of our theatrical run.
Over the last weekend (October 20 & 21) we went down to all our shows to personally thank the movie-goers. We're balled over by the warmth from the audience and how supportive they were. Many clapped when we introduced ourselves. Some of them encouraged us to, "Jia you! (Keep it up!)"
Others came up to tell us how much they liked and enjoyed the movie.
A lady in a wheelchair told us she wanted to catch TRUTH the night before on Friday, unaware that the 9pm shows are no longer available. So she went home empty-handed. But the next day, she rushed down to GV Plaza from the Mt. Elizabeth Hospital after collecting her medicine to catch the 1st show at 11:10 am!
Another lady came up to us just as we're about to leave GV Tiong Bahru for GV Vivocity - she wanted to know how she could "donate" some money. Dumbfounded, I asked, "To whom?" and she replied, "To you!"
She must have read about our struggles in the papers. (Too bad... we've yet to set up the "ENG TIONG & JEN NEE MILK POWDER FUND".) We are once again touched by this kind gesture but we have to politely refuse. We suggested that she may like to invest in our future film projects instead.
A couple with young children in tow came up to us after the screening at Vivocity to thank us for TRUTH. The man's father used to live in a 1-room flat and he wanted his children to experience that with this movie.
Still, others came up to us with their stories that they would like to be told on the big screen...
And there are (and always will be, I guess) people who told us their views on how to improve the film, what they did not like, what they found flawed.
I believe there will never be a film where everyone who has seen it will unequivocally love it. At best, it will be on a scale of from how many people love your film to how many absolutely hate it. What we can do is to listen to the ground and hear what people have to say and then sieve out what is useful.
We definitely love to hear more! If you haven't catch TRUTH BE TOLD, here's another chance to do so! We're still showing at Golden Village Plaza Singapura, Vivocity & Tiong Bahru!

Nice movie, great job guys. Where can we get/download the music?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, our movie's soundtrack is unavailable. No more $ to produce the cd.
Currently on the Singapore Film Commission web site, you'll find TRUTH BE TOLD's main score on their main page. Look for the music icon at the bottom right.
