This programme is part of the Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF).

Three filmmakers come together and share about their first film journeys, pitfalls, lessons learnt and future plans.

The making of one’s first feature film is often an exciting yet tumultuous occasion filled with many challenges. There is no doubt that first-time filmmakers will be overwhelmed with all that is on their plate from scripting, production, film festival travels to hoping to recoup the cost of production. Then, what comes after your first film has travelled its run? Do you need another feature-length screenplay ready to go? How do you prepare for your next film? What comes after your first film can be confusing, and we hope that as our speakers share their personal first film journey, pitfalls, lessons learnt and future plans, you will be able to gain some insights.

Speakers: K. Rajagopal, Jacen Tan, Wong Chen-Hsi
