    Time Event
    9:15p
    Cannes! Here I come!
    I know I've kind of neglected my blog, but I just had to share my joy with everyone! I just got news from Paris that Pleasure Factory (a.k.a. Kuai Le Gong Chang) has been selected under the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival!

    Can you believe it? After editing this movie for the past few months in my little room in Punggol, it's now going to premiere in France!

    Just to update you guys on the work front, I've joined Zhao Wei Films, Eric Khoo's company, as a freelance director... yes, I've been selling my soul to do commercials which I won't say which because it's too embarrassing, and I'm also going to direct my first feature in September, tentatively titled "Invisible Children" Yes, the title is pretty lame, I took it from my previous installation, but I had to submit it quickly to meet the funding deadline. Right now I'm currently working on Cake's new production which opens next week at the Esplanade Theatre Studio on Thursday, 26 April...so do come and support if you are free. Then I'll be jetting off to Seoul, Pakistan, Mumbai and Cairo for a commercial shoot, and then off to Cannes! And then rush back for the Arts Fest with my collaboration with Mark and Angela.


    In the pics: Yang Kuei-mei, Loo Zihan (a very talented director himself), Ekachai (director and partner in crime), Ananda Everingham (the Brad Pitt of Thai cinema), Izzy Chen ( a very talented animator!) and Joe Rabbit.
