Showing only in NYC and SG, the finals will be screened today at The Cathay and I'm pretty excited about it.
Being keen on the arts, and having attended several Singapore Short Film festivals the past years as well as seen plenty of local films, I definitely welcome NYU's First Run Film Festival to our little arts landscape. I do think it's a great opportunity for students to showcase their work and audiences to be exposed to more independent films and Asian cinema.
My 2 favourites from the shortlisted films were Skywobble and Old Married couple (I didn't make it to the later half of the screening last saturday but hey the winning films will be showed today).
Inspired film makers may wish to check out tischasia's blog / web for more details. Awesome faculty members they've got there. What more can you ask for with most of the members bring professionals already immersed in the industry and are working professional directors already. www.tischasia.nyu.edu.sg/
Sometimes I wished I was wendy in peter pan, or alice in wonderland. I'm a huge burton and depp fan, and I reckon the only anti-aging methodology is to have dreams, gun for them, and believe that disneyland is still the happiest place on earth.
