Film, as an art form or popular entertainment, is generally a passive medium, requiring the viewing of a completed work rather than an artistic process.  This installation aims to allow audience interaction with film by creating a space for audiences to view a single film in different components, forming an impression based on its parts before watching the film as a whole.  This allows the audience to appreciate film as an art form in closer proximity, moving beyond a two dimensional space to one that enables the use of all senses.

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
