Press Conference

Event: TRUTH BE TOLD Press Conference

Date: 27 September 2007

Time: 2pm

Venue: GV Vivocity Gold Glass Hall 2

Panellists: Kenneth Tan (GV's Managing Director), Yvonne Lim (Lead Actress), Teo Eng Tiong (Co-Producer/ Director) & Lim Jen Nee (Co-Producer/ Writer). Also in attendance are the rest of our main cast - Bernard Tan, Liang Tian and Louis Lim

This is the first time ever that Eng Tiong and I attended a press conference, let alone being on stage where the limelight was cast on us!

Kenneth had to keep telling us, "take it that you're speaking to a friend." With so many pairs of eyes staring at you, plus photo and video cameras... erm... I really need to imagine harder!

Kenneth gave a really fantastic speech. We'll post up the whole press conference video here if we could OR you'll just have to buy the DVD once it hits the stores!

Everything went well!

And something extra - each of our press kit is handmade personally by us. We created a limited number - 30 books. We thought that the usual Singapore movie way of photocopying them out on A4 papers and putting them into a paper folder feels like an afterthought.

After we've been to a few film markets and collected various kinds and types of movie info leaflets to booklets, we decided we wanted to put in a little more effort to do up our press kit, which also ties in nicely with our movie and also exemplifies who we are.

Our press kit is a homemade, handmade "journal-style" booklet. Every single page is printed and then using a simple ruler and penknife, cut down to size. Eng Tiong then did the painstaking task of binding the pages together and adding a cover to it.
