Crew Call for Durian Complex
Posted on November 10, 2009 by Ngoc under Announcements | Comments Off
We are having a CREW CALL!
nuSTUDIOS will be participating NAF2010, and for our ‘performance’, we will be embarking on a very exciting production, Durian Complex, this coming December! Hence, we are currently looking for members who would like to join the crew. You do not require any prior on set experience, just knowledge of film school basics, diligence and seriousness on set. I assure you that you will be learning a lot no matter what position you take up. Food will be provided during the shoot.
Things you need to know Helming this exciting production would be the directors Shing Kae (SK) and Yishu. Both are very serious and committed about filmmaking and will have lots of experience to share on film production. Fun to be with as well! Those who gone through the previous few Film Camps should know!
Principal Shooting dates are tentatively anywhere between the 8 Dec to 20 Dec and all shooting will be within school premises.
Crew Positions Available:
Synopsis of Durian Complex (approx. 30 minutes)
Living at close proximity can be tough; we follow the lives of 5 occupants of a dormitory. Alvin joins Shane in dishing out pranks after pranks on the fellow occupants but their real target is the composed Melissa, who is always on the search of her mysterious admirer. Alex, the celebrity of the dormitory is the sole occupant who is excused from the pranks but is forced to spend his time with the enigmatic old man with a particular love for durian. Vincent, a new member, is peculiarly odd but seems to know more about his fellow dwellers than he should.
Background of NAF2010
nuSTUDIOS will be participating in NAF2010: Through Asian Lens, happening this February 2010. As you all know, NAF stands for NUS Arts Festival, and it is a major NUS event with quite a lot of coverage and publicity. Here is a little about NAF2009: Arts and the Environment that happened early this year.
Featuring 3 weekends of over 60 exciting festival programmes covering drama, dance, music, literary and visual arts! Open to the public, NAF seeks to further the NUS community’s appreciation of the arts and culture. NAF 2009 focused on arts and the environment and attracted audiences from NUS and beyond.
Unfortunately we did not manage to have a chance to participate in NAF2009, other than a tiny collaboration with NUS Chinese Orchestra for The Song of Kent Ridge.
Criteria:
- You must be passionately interested
- You must be free and in Singapore in December 2009 especially from 8 – 20 Dec
- You must have gone through Film School or Film Camp before

BEFORE THE RED CARPET – Salon Films-MDA training program
Posted on November 10, 2009 by Ngoc under Announcements | Comments Off
This is an e-invite for a presentation of a Salon Films-MDA training program, which Ellery is assisting to organize. This 2 to 3-month program gives filmmakers a chance to produce their films, where Salon Films will guide and assist the filmmakers to get the film made. Also, the filmmakers selected will be put through the entire filmmaking process from pre sales, fund raising, pre production to production and post production. So it will be quite an intensive program if anyone is up for it. Salon Films is on the look out for scripts and filmmaking talent to produce 2 films.
So if anyone has a good script and is ready for something like this, do come for the presentation and find out more. This is a good opportunity to get a film made and broaden your network contacts. Kindly relay any questions to the email elleryngiam@gmail.com Details of the program will only be revealed during and after the presentation. A website will be up by mid November to provide more details of the program.
