Sinema Showoff

Monday Wednesdays and Friday are supposed to be Gym days, unless i make other plans. last monday i had duty, so no gym for me >.< so instead i looked forward to Tuesday night where i was going to check out Sinema Showoff!

Sinema Showoff is a platform for local filmmakers to showcase their work, as well as an editing studio for them to start off their film-making career. Also, it showcases Asian films in its very own theatre, to create a asian cinema culture of sorts, haha.

its a really quaint place atop Mt. Sophia (had to climb ALOT of stairs!), but it was worth the climb. got a chance to talk to some of the people there (one guy was an ammo tech, and used to work for Kwong Nam at SOA!) and they're really nice, and the cinema was quite cool too!

I'm quite the Cheapo, so the first one i went for was the National Day Special, 3 shorts, Free-Of-Charge, the shorts (short films) that night weren't anything great, but the potential was there, so i'm sure there are times when the audiences get a nice surprise from an aspiring filmmaker. However, after going once, i'm tempted to go for a proper full length film, like Invisible Children, or the likes of the The Insomniac. Maybe i'll catch one more, afterall, tickets are $8 which is the cost of a movie ticket anyway! so maybe i'll do that!

You should totally check it out! the website's at http://www.sinema.sg/oldschool/ If you're interested, drop me a message, and we can go catch a show together!
