This film tracks a day in the life of a carrot cake seller. Standing in a corner of a food centre, she watches the hungry crowds pass her by. The film takes a realistic and at-times humorous look at what she does behind closed doors.
This is a series of short promo clips for a new television channel targeted at teenagers. The channel aims to attract its viewers with an “out-of-this-world” mentality. SubTV is unconventional, one of its kind, television at its rawest.
Scott becomes fed up with his temporal existence and locks himself in a “timeless” room. Starved of food and water, he attempts to die for his futile cause.
Do you still remember your National Anthem? We sing it every morning during our school days and when we step into adulthood, we forget most of the lines. An instructional video to Singapore¹s National Anthem.
Adam, the quiet nice-guy introvert, hides behind the lens of his camera to get away from the dangers of the outside world. He often feels empty inside — till the day he met HER at the bus stop. Will he talk to her? Or will his inner conscience stop him first?
“We are together not because of lust, but fated by god” — Hajjah Siti Bte Rahim. A real-life account of three couples who felt the love for each other that last till now.
This film is a musing on our lives, touring through a day of individual desire, regret, lust, disappointment and the mundane.
A short film about the mischief and adventures of a girl who tries to steal cookies from the jar but fails to do so. She seeks the help from her elder brother destined to eternal slumber. A fuzzy film about the little wonders in life we fail to see sometimes.
Watch “The Best of First Take” at the Substation Theatre on Tuesday, December 5 at 8 pm.
