What about No 4?

Priorities. What comes first? Not everyone is a good at multitasking. "Time flies", "Minutes Count", "I want it yesterday!". We actually live for a very short time if you really start counting.

"No. 4" is part of the "Dystopia" film project helmed by 10 new Singaporean filmmakers. This, I have to admit, was done on a whim. I wrote something else for this segment, which started from interracial relationship to a crazy loner Superhero story, got back into the relationship mode after watching "The Home Song Stories" and "Little Children" and started stabbing the laptop with what eventually became this.

I have to really thank Chrissie, Nic and Mike for pulling all of us together. I have to admit also that I was a little reluctant at first because the rest of the guys have actually made films before and most have a formal education in film-making. So I wasn't very confident at first as I always serve as the producer. Very honoured to be part of this new brave group of film-makers.

Another person who really made this happen is Yann Yann. I sneakily slipped her the scrīpt one day, and she called back and said she read it twice over and really want to make this. Her energy and commitment really made me 'prioritize'. Thank you Yann!

"No. 4" is for all of us who do not have time. And looking forward to the other 8 films.
