Okay, I did the production stills for this movie so I'm selling it to everyone.
About the Film:
SINGAPORE DREAMING is the 2nd feature film by TalkingCock.com founders Woo Yen Yen & Colin Goh, and the first production by Woffles Wu, one of the world's top plastic surgeons.
Singapore Dreaming (whose Chinese title is 美满人生 － ‘A Perfect Life’) weaves a layered and moving tale about a family dealing with loss, ambition and the search for what really matters in life.
The film’s beautiful visuals are the work of acclaimed New York-based director of photography (DP) Martina Radwan, whose film "Ferry Tales" was nominated for an Academy Award in 2004, and who was part of the cinematography team on "Personal Velocity", which won both the Cinematography and Grand Jury Awards at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. Her latest film, "Flannel Pajamas", is premiering at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
Singapore Dreaming’s evocative musical score is the work of acclaimed Singaporean composer and arranger Sydney Tan, who has produced for Kit Chan and Dick Lee, as well as Singapore Idol-winner Taufik Batisah.
The film was edited by Rachel Kittner, who co-edited the 2006 Oscar-nominated documentary, "Street Fight".
Rounding off this international collaboration is New York-based sound designer Paul Hsu, whose most recent projects include Ang Lee’s “The Hulk”, Barry Sonnenfeld’s “Men in Black” and Mike Nichols’ Golden Globe-winning “Angels in America.” This year alone, he had five films appear at Sundance, including the critically-acclaimed "The Night Listener", featuring Robin Williams. He is now working on Martin Scorcese's upcoming "The Departed".
Singapore Dreaming is proud to be the very first Singaporean film to be supported by the Singapore Tourism Board.
Synopsis
This is a story about a family with big dreams, living on a small island.
Heavily in debt, patriarch Loh Poh Huat can’t help but feel bitter irony whenever he has to perform his job as a lawyer’s clerk – seizing goods from the homes of credit card debtors.
At the end of his career and frustrated by the gulf between his middle class dreams and his working class reality, he takes his feelings of failure and envy out on his family.
So when Poh Huat suddenly wins two million dollars in the lottery, the Lohs start believing that maybe this windfall will deliver them from their struggles.
But something happens which pitches the family into a battle where the stakes are the very meaning of life itself…
Singapore Dreaming had its world premiere at a special gala screening at the Singapore International Film Festival on 12 April 2006.
