Thanks to everyone who came to the Zo Hee World Premiere at Substation Moving Images’ 10th Anniversary party.
It’s been quite a ride making Zo Hee, and I’m glad everyone enjoyed it! Many of the actors and special cameos from the film were also present, and watching a film at The Substation made in The Substation made it very special indeed.
(More pics to come)
The celebrations continue until Monday, ending with the Best of First Take on Monday night. Zo Gang is one of the films that night, and viewers get to vote for their best of the Best of First Take! And the best winner of the best of the Best of First Take wins a prize.
Film-maker wannabe, Ah-Tan is sick of his day job. Join Ah-Tan on his way to work one day, as he discusses and pokes fun at local film and music, while plotting his path to become Singapore’s next great director.
This comedy on the difficulties of making film and music will leave you wondering about the state of the Arts in Singapore!

(Cheers to Kristin, NLB, and the other filmmakers)
It’s been 3 years since Tak Giu was made, to highlight the problem of playing spaces in Singapore. Newspapers then followed up on this issue, and the authorities responded.
In recent reports, 284 plots of land have been upgraded and open for public use. So what are you waiting for? Go Tak Giu la!
Hi guys, Zo Gang is invading library@orchard this weekend. Do come by, before the library closes!
