(9) Love Cuts

I worked on a couple of days on this one during the earlier part of the year. Realise that my parents are growing older by the day. Gave myself a resolution to spend more time with them. Brought them out to watch Love Cuts, directed and produced by my bosses back in GJ where I spent a memorable six months during the school's attachment programme.

Went on set to do second-unit camera but production schedule problems meant that I also did production assistant job. In the end we couldn't shoot the particular scene and there goes my contribution. But anyone sharp enough to spot me in a scene as an extra?

For one of those many product-endorsed local films following the trend set by Jack Neo, (this one sponsored by Health Promotion Board), I thought the film was made very tastefully without the usual in-your-face preaching. Maybe I'm bias but considering the budget constraints and the topic, the production values are almost flawless. 3 stars. And support local films please. Go watch.

On a side note, I'm amazed how effective the bosses were. Directing and producing three feature films and a couple of tv programmes all in one year.
