This is my first post. I am a filmmaker who like to do personal documentaries. For the longest of time, I believed that internet can be a new medium or another extension in the area of documentary filmmaking; some years back (2001) before blogging was the in-thing in Singapore, I went to Germany Hannover for a film fest and I tied up with an internet website company to put up a website that can allows people to participate in the documentary process... (I did a documentary about a temple in Pulau Ubin that worshipped a german girl and intend to investigate whether it was a myth. However it was an experiment that did not reap much success. With regards to blogging... i procrastinated for quite a while cause I do not want the unnecessary attention and label as some lame exhibitionist.
However I got inspired by some filmmaker's blog; namely Martyn See's blog who can effectively used his blog to reach out to a wide group of audiences (aside from the film festival circuit) and also gives an in-depth knowledge of the filmmaker's documentary and journey. Lastly I concluded that maybe the website which Martyn See created helped saves his arse a bit from the authorities :P
After attending this year Singapore International Film Festival, I am kind of fire up to do something useful besides playing xbox and playing with my little niece :)
Since I talked about documentaries (this blog will not be entirely about filmmaking, there are more important trivial issues to talk about - very soon) ; I will like to share with you two short videos I have shot. It is about the May Day Walk by Dr Chee and Chee Siok Chin.
