...in directing that is.
No, it wasn't me. Though I've sat in for 5 directing classes already at NYU Tisch Asia, it'll be awhile longer before i'm ready to actually direct something of my own.
Acting, on the other hand, is something i can do. So when one of the film students called me out of the blue last Sunday for a favour, i readily agreed.
The result? a simple 49 second long 'shortfilm'.
The dialog was taken from this really old movie that starred a really young Martin Sheen. No...Read more
Somethings I did in the past came back to 'haunt' me recently. :P
This is an article from our local newspaper The Straits Times, dtd today March 5 2008.
That's me you see holding the little boy ( we are not related :P ).
The picture was taken last year, in May 2007, on the roof top play area of ViVo City, one of Singapore's newest shopping venues.. The ph...Read more
That's the title of an upcoming Singaporean feature film which had it's first day of shoot yesterday, 29 Feb 2008.
It is based on actual local events that took place in the 70's, revolving around the members of a soccer team that won the Malaysia Cup in 1977, against the Malaysian state of Selangor if I'm not mistaken.
The principal actors, who allegedly resemble those actual players, were not present on this first day of shoot. Instead, there was a total of approx. 200 extras, dressed in distinctively 70's...Read more
Yesterday, i attended another lecture at NYU Tisch Asia and to my surprise, the conducting lecturer wasn't Rob Schmidt. Instead, it was Michael ( a sundance film fest award winning director and NYU alumnus )...i'll have to catch his full name next time :P
It seems that Rob had flown back to the US to begin shooting a feature film ( I think it's a horror film). I wonder how many other productions are currently rushing to be completed b4 the SAG strike on June 30...
Anyways, during the lesson, i did a cold read as Gina ...Read more
Here's an excerpt from a shortfilm I did sometime back in mid 2007.
Not only did I made some cuts here and there to keep the file small, I also took the liberty to arrange it in a way that is easier to understand. ( Hopefully, the filmmakers won't get pissed with me :P )
The original sequence of events in the shortfilm 'jumped around' alot, and was meant to mislead the audience such that the identity of the killer isn't quite so obvious until the very end.
Personally, i prefer t...Read more
A somewhat unglamorous one no doubt...but still, this was my very first role shot way back in Mar 2003.

1) First off, today I had the privilege to work with a veteran, actress CHENG PEI PEI, for the 2nd season of a local sitcom called "The Yang Sisters". She plays the role of the eldest of 3 sisters.
The scenes depict a film set with Pei Pei jie 'acting' as Wong Fei Hong and I'm Joe the stunt man, though there weren't any actual stunts...it's a sitcom afterall :P
We only had 1 scene together, in which she tries to hook me up with her 'daughter'. Off camera, she is really nice and friendly. Truth be...Read more
Just added some screenshots in my photo album.
You might have trouble recognizing me cos you see, it's one of those rare occasions when I'm not playing a 'baddie'. Instead, this role is somewhat closer to the real me: the doting father of my only daughter.
Except the 'daughter' in this case isn't my 5-yr-old Avryl. Instead, she is a 15 yr-old teenager called Mindy, who together with her 2 classmates, dig up interesting facts from a bygone era.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable and somewhat exhausting teaser shoot today. It was for DISCOVERY CHANNEL and from what I've been told, will only be aired in Singapore. But who knows? Maybe they'll change their mind and air it in other countries as well?
Anyways, here are some photos I took to share with you all:
1) This was the night before.Here I am taking a picture of myself in the washroom mirror after trying out the outfit at the wardrobe-fitting-cum-rehearsal session.
Not to worry, not to worry...not talking about my own marriage here. :P
I had a shoot today on a new docu-drama series called BEHIND CLOSED DOORS and the topic of th episode I'm in is: SPOUSAL ABUSE.
There'll be 2 segments to this 30min episode; 1 with an abusive husband and the other, an abusive wife. No prize for guessing correctly which segment I'm in and which character I portray :P
I know...I often gripe about getting the 'villian' roles. But I've had so much fun playing all those ...Read more
