Together with local filmmakers Kelvin Sng, Chee Tian & Elgin, I had a really good time and was made to feel at home by many Singaporeans and Canadians there. Thank you TSFF peoples and audience!
There is also a Malaysia/Singapore radio program known as ‘Kampung Ku’, run by a Singlish speaking Ang-moh know as ‘Encik Daud’ and his Malaysian wife. Steady right?

The 3rd Toronto-Singapore Film Festival will be held from April 4-6th 2008 in Innis Town Hall Toronto. Zo Gang will be opening for Jack Neo’s film ‘Just Follow Law’ on 5th April. Watch the cool festival trailer:
Zo Gang was screened last Monday at Sinema Showoff, with the premiere of the exclusive Zo Gang Blooper Reel. Be warned, it might be funnier than the film itself!
Jeremy Sing (Director of The Girl in the Red Sarong) spotted something interesting in Zo Gang:
“…Boy (young man) walks across basketball court to place something that looks like a jacket on the ground, all that while Merlion Tan was talking to the camera.”
Read it here on his blog and also on Sinema.
The screening was attended by less than 20 people though. Do come down for the repeated sessions on Mar 17, 24, 31. Entry is free, with other great films on show!
Zo Gang will be screened at Sinema Showoff, together with an
exclusive never-seen-before Zo Gang blooper reel!
Sinema Showoff happens on Mondays on 10, 17 and 24 March 2008. I will be there on 10 March for Q&A session. (And no I’m not the guy in the poster)

The 4th Singapore Short Film Festival (4SSFF) will be happening at The Substation in March.
Do come down and support! Films include ‘Man With Camera’, a documentary which features Hosaywood during the Zo Gang shoot. Tickets are available at Gatecrash.
Btw there is another SIFF which is 21st Singapore International Film Festival. Don’t get confused!
Wesley (Ah-Tan) is back from the Asian Hot Shots Berlin festival. Local filmmakers had a nice outing, playing to a full house at the Singapore hot shots programme!
