Tisch Asia wonders : "So what the hell are we doing here?"

Notes From Serangoon Road said:

NYU Tisch Asia lecturer, Jennifer Ruff, warns of cobras and canings in singapore and ponders the perks of "Dying of boredom...To be frank, Singapore itself is boring. There is not a lot to do except make films. Which is kind of great. In New York City, there are a million amazing distractions, but I’ve noticed that students here spend much more time in the editing lab; there just isn’t as much to tempt them... Other than Eric Khoo, whose film My Magic received a passionate standing ovation as the first Singaporean film to be in competition in Cannes this year, most cineastes probably can’t name another Singapore director..."

Anant Shiva said:

Screenplayer has been set up as a gathering ground for Singaporean indie filmmakers and screenwriters to come together and share their works and ideas.

It's pretty much an experiment at this point and we don't know if it'll work or take off, but we've set it up and it's up to you guys to decide how you wanna use it! Share your videos, talk about techniques, post jobs, review scripts, the possibilities are endless!
