WKW

I'm writing a short film about our fourth president, Dr. Wee Kim Wee. Yes, it's not a crime story. It's a political-friendly drama about a man's observation of our beloved president.

I walked into the writers’ office yesterday and saw a ping pong ball and two paddles sitting on the assistant’s desk. I paused, staring at the ping pong ball. This was one of those moments you see in indie movies, where the character is contemplating his life, but you don’t know exactly what he’s th ...

METROPOLIS - THE DIRECTOR'S CUT?

Fritz Lang's Metropolis is a silent film masterpiece, one of the boldest visions of the future ever committed to celluloid. Even now, seventy-plus years after its release, the only other genre film that matches its visual impact is Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. I didn't realize the masterpiece I've s ...
