*..Little joys in life..*

Last Friday, xq and slave went for the SIFF Non-Competition screening of Store-Bought Love. Rushed down from Dead Over Heels shoot @ CCK to SAM, pretty far but it was all worth the time.

They finally screened the correct version of the edit aka the newest edit. Kino 2010 screened the old version much to my dismay. And the school sent the old version out to SIFF, so I found out about it and went down to Havelock Road office to submit the newest version of the film edit.

For some reason, when the opening credits played and I recognized it to be the new edit, everything just went right from there on.

It made me realize why we first started out on making a film. The applause and laughter from the audience makes every sweat and tear worth the moment. Didn't see Chin Hwee there at the screening, but he would have been even happier than me, if he could be there to observe audience response.

Of course, there were several other really interesting short films screened together with ours too. Notice that these were mostly Tisch or NTU Comm studies films.

The happier part came when the audience come through you to let you know what they think about your film. This guy actually searched for SBL Facebook page and commented there. And later added me to FB.


HAHA ok abrupt end to conversation cos I didn't know how to continue...

And just a moment ago, Xinying showed me this from the SINDIE website.


Just a little disappointed that my parents hadn't been able to watch KINO or SIFF screening. Don't know when the next screening would be, but probably no more? At least, not for now.

And Kaixiang, my ex-oak 3 friend, actually came to support. He's been wanting to watch since we were at the post-production phase in Jan 2008. LOL.

Most of all, thank you pigger low! For going down straight from work to accompany me to the screening. And for ferrying me about to get and return the hard disk during re-edit period. And for accompanying me at the school's FCP room till 9pm just to take me to dinner =)

PANDA!!!

Disappointed that we didn't get into any official selections but I guess at the end of the day, as slave said: "It's not about winning awards, it's about the audience's enjoyment..."

Was watching a bit of 《就想賴著妳》 idol drama, Ella said this line which totally made sense: “东西有没有那个价值，就要看拥有它的人懂不懂得珍惜它， 在乎它。。。”
