The Top 100 Actors 2011
《靈聽》“Ghost On Air”, the brainchild of local director, Cheng Ding An, and Singapore’s famous DJ Dennis Chew, will be in cinemas this coming Thursday, 17 May 2012!
As 2nd Assistant Director and involved in Casting, it was wonderful to be part of this production crew - an unforgettable (first-time feature film) experience behind the camera. Pre-production & production went by slowly, but surely, and I learnt so much every step of the way. It helped that the team felt more like a family with each passing day.
Dennis Chew 崇庆 is a fabulous personality to have on set - non-stop laughter between scenes - and yet, when the camera started rolling, he was extremely professional. The rest of the cast & crew were amazing as well.
Post-production must have been tiring, yet fulfilling, and even though I didn’t play an active part, it is heartwarming to see their non-stop marketing and promotional activities. Every single one of us wants to see this film succeed, that’s how much we believe in it.
The gala premiere is tomorrow night… So exciting!
Remember to catch 《靈聽》“Ghost On Air” in Singapore theatres from 17 May 2012! It will be opening in Malaysia soon!
I’ll be busy in the next few weeks - starting production on a new movie as 2nd Asst Director. So it’s going to be difficult to come on Tumblr ‘cause I know I’ll be stretched for time & too exhausted some days…
Sigh.
But it’s what I love to do - being on set - so no complaining!
I apologise for being virtually absent, but I’m currently embroiled in Pre-production madness for an upcoming feature film. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ll be 2nd Asst Director, and was Casting Director for this film.
I’m honestly not used to wielding so much power in a production - being able to set timings & determine when the talents are going to film & come in for rehearsals & imaging. It’s taken quite a bit of getting used to!
And now there’re 12 Days to Production, and I’m slightly panicking because I suddenly realised how much there is to be done before Production Mayhem officially starts up.
But this has been such a wonderful experience thus far - behind the scenes adventures galore.
The theme song of a recent hit Taiwanese movie - “You Are The Apple Of My Eye”. Its simple, heartwarming story about young love brings back memories for the audience. Coupled with brilliant casting, this movie proves that old-school charm still brings people to the theatres.
Just reached Hong Kong today! Set up a meeting with an actor-producer here, hence the journey from Singapore, but I’ve got the chance to be involved in a local shoot tomorrow as an extra. Always great fun being involved in shoots when overseas~!
hey :) maybe a girl who is desperate to be married - but make sure the dialogue supports that choice - or a girl who thinks that no one else would want to marry her. But I must emphasise that you have to make sure that the dialogue really supports the choice you make.
Best of luck!
