Taking a short break..

The past 10 days were really crazy. Its my first time really responsible for running a festival in Singapore of this calibre, the Asian Festival of First films. My main job scope was to be overall in-charge for transportation of all attending nominees, delegates and artistes invited from all around the world.

Different people arrives Singapore on different days, we had to arrange personal limos to ferry them from Airport to their hotels, and for some VIPs, with extra mile treatments too. I had to plan very carefully in terms of transport and also PR with them. We also had 5 nominees from Beijing who can't speak english, therefore I acted as a translator for them as well. Its only on the last day of the event when I realise that being a full time translator can actually earn me alot of money! damn.

Well, the company I'm working for on this project is Teamworks Production. And I've really tasted the feeling of working with different races since the company is an indian company which means I'm the only non-indian around. In short, the experience wasn't very good but I do learn alot through different mistakes that I made for being a first timer.

The whole stretch of 7 days event ended with the awards ceremony night last wednesday on the 10th Dec at Jubilee Hall @ Raffles Hotel. I apologise for not being able to take any pictures as well as I am almost the busiest person around that night. Running around and ensuring everything runs smoothly. But I was glad when Channel News Asia interviewed me right after the cocktail session whene everybody else entered the hall to watch the ceremony. I was out at the hallway doing random stuffs when the CNA crew walked past wanting to enter and decided to interview me. I didn't get to watch myself on tv. Sigh..

The biggest gain i had from this festival wasn't the experience, but all the film makers i get to know from all around Asia! they are real cool people!

I'd spent the next few days doing post event chores and preparing for my first short film. Today is the shoot day and here I am waiting for my scene's turn. We had already done the first scene earlier in the morning, the director said it turn out good haha! Hope all will be good.
