"The Canvas" II

I shared about "The Canvas" in an earlier entry. Filmed this short film about a year ago in Dec 2009, working with a team of Ngee Ann Poly students. I was invited to the audition, which was more of a meet-the-team session, where I found out that they had written the story specifically with me in mind to play the female lead.  "The Canvas" was filmed over two days. We were rained out the first day, total...Read more

of change & making use of time.

I haven’t been updating this blog as frequently as I’d like to. But since the last time I’ve blogged, we’ve been through production for Word Films #1. It’s not a wrap yet, but we’re keeping the momentum going. Might be working on a couple of other shorts for a few competitions.

Also just got my Ceramic Braces! Only on the top row of teeth, and it’s not instantly obvious, but it’ll still be a drag to have it for the next 1.5 years / 18 months / 78 weeks / 546 days. Well, I encourage myself: “Short Term Pain, Long T...Read more

word films.

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt over the past year, it is to never stay idle. Rest & ‘me’ time is okay, once in awhile, but idleness never produced results.

I also learnt to create opportunities, instead of waiting around for stuff to happen. It’s like waiting for money to fall from the sky – thi...Read more

“The Canvas”.

I am searching. For the meaning, for the importance of what I am doing.

This post takes its title from a short film I completed in November 2009 – “The Canvas” - about a blind painter who learns to accept her situation, with the help of her loved one.

a picture paints a thousand words.

As the saying goes, “A picture paints a thousand words.” So, instead of attempting to explain the multitude of pies I’ve got my fingers in right now, I shall use pictures and brief words to get my point across.

wanting too much?

I wonder if sometimes I want too many things, too fast. I have a lot of goals, and dreams, and wishes. And I’ve learnt that it takes time, and it takes hard work and a lot of effort, and focus, and determination to get to where I want. And I’m willing to invest the time to plant the seeds, water the plants and fertilise the soil until dreams bear fruit.

I love inspiring people to follow their dreams.

But for myself personally, I strive to be the best actor I can be. Even if it takes my whole life to attain t...Read more
