“CUBIK” has been a long time in the brewing.
Stefan Fanthome, co-producer, & Jason Brenizer, producer-director, worked on a “crazy idea”for six months, writing & re-writing a scrīpt, as well as working on pre-production logistics & preparations. There were auditions & rehearsals before the actual production kicked in for 10 days in November 2008.
I remember the day of the audition – “CUBIK” being the 2nd audition out of three auditions I had scheduled in that day. Coincidentally, I booked a role in all three productions, and all three productions had a character named Alex in them. For the “CUBIK” audition, I performed my much-loved Delphina monologue at the Sinema Old School theatre space, and did a bit of work on a scene from the short film.
I remember where I was when I got THE Call– on an island off Singapore, Pulau Ubin, filming an episode of“Incredible Tales 6″ . Needless to say, I was extremely excited.
I remember the excitement of meeting my various co-actors– most had so much more performing experiencethan I had.
And here I am now.It’s been 22 months since I received THE Call. 4 months since “CUBIK” first had our World Premiere in April 2010, and won theGrand Remi Award – Best of Fest (Short Films) .
