| Introduction | I am a screenwriter and film director since 1997, with a portfolio ranging from independent films to current affairs. I want to generate unique conversations with authentic Singaporean stories that study identity and the complexities of the human condition. My debut feature film SAYANG DISAYANG was Singapore’s official entry at the 87th Academy Awards/Oscars (Best Foreign Language Film). Away from telling stories, I hit the forest trails to reinvigorate amongst nature. Google me for details. |
