From Marcus Goh's production notes

"Have you watched Singapore short films? They’re mostly emo, angsty, and gay. Not that being gay is bad, but when about half of the short films are about homosexuality and a metaphor for finding your sexual identity, it gives the impression that we independent directors/videographers/whatever are mostly emo, angsty, and gay.

Heck, it makes us Singaporeans look like an emo, angsty, and gay nation. Which we are not. Come on, do you really see that much pain and suffering and misery in Singapore? Maybe whenever GST is raised or you go through an ERP gantry or you receive an IRAS letter. But in general, no.

I don’t think enough short films reflect the fun loving side of Singaporeans. There are some, but not enough of them.

Being Singaporean, and being proud that I am Singaporean, I wanted to make a Uniquely Singaporean (OK, outdated slogan, sorry) short film, a comedy, something about a road trip. Something to make you laugh and say yes, that’s what Singapore is like."

Coming soon... Marcus Goh's latest short film, Jalan Jalan to the West.
