Short Circuit 2

Met Clement as usual that evening at City Hall to go attend a strictly private event held at The Substation..
Short Circuit 2 is a strictly private event, a strictly private short local film festival, held at The Substation..
Short Circuit 2 is a one-night film showcase curated by Boo Junfeng and Alfian Sa'at, (both Clement's friends ), which will celebrate works by either *queer filmmakers or those dealing with *queer subjects..
Following a successful inaugural screening last year, Short Circuit is back again! It's been a rollercoaster year for the *queer community in Singapore, and what better way to cap the year than with a film screening that affirms the vital contributions of *queer film makers to local cinema.
With a menagerie of lions, locusts and monkeys, and spanning the globe, from London to Los Angeles to Katong, join us as we celebrate some of the freshest and finest works from some of Singapore's most promising young directors!
Me being blatantly straightforward, direct & honest, as usual, shall make it easier for my faithful blog readers here to understand that the meaning of *queer here means gay k? ;p

Entry to Short Circuit 2 is restricted to only those who are a friend or close friend of any of the local filmmakers / producers / directors of any of the 10 short films that are being shown..

Of course, being a friend of Clement.. I managed to have the privilege & honour to be attending this event.. :)

Thank you, "darling".. ;)

It was altogether a very interesting experience for me..

And we really enjoyed ourselves a lot.. :)

Cos at this event, it's where we get lots of opportunities to interact & network with many of our very own local short filmmakers / producers / directors..

And watch their short films & works.. :)

Wow!!! This guy gave us sooo many works..

I've lost count to an extend that if I were to name all of them here, there's sooo many, this blog post will seem like it's never gonna end!!! ;p
Of course, there are many more of Clement's friends who are filmmakers, directors & producers who were at the event & not mentioned in this blog post..

Anyway, I really respect them & take my hat off to them, cos' they are all really nice people & most of them are very humble too..

Amazing.. for the fact that most of their works has actually won lots of awards internationally in different film festivals all around the world..
