The Small Local Production Industry
In a recent discussion with some industry peers...
There were 2 Singapore feature films in production simultaneously a few months back. A great boost for the local industry on one hand and also a red flag on how small the local "industry" is on the other. The 2 films, by no means huge affairs, practically wiped out all production talents and crews. Apparently, the whole motion picture/television commercials industry was at a stand-still of sorts. A seasoned veteran noted with a sigh that there was not enough new blood entering the technical/production arena of the glamourous film-making world. Every one wants to be a director and not a DP (Director Of Photography). It would appear that Singapore at present is capable of supporting only 2 size-able (if we may call it that) projects at any one time.
