Thank You, American Film Showcase

This event is very special to my heart. It has brought the best in ASEAN countries together. It promotes friendship, creativity and most of all encourage IP creations in South East Asia. In the past, we are often known as factories to most western producers. This really gives us an opportunity. Hope someday we can recreate this event together. Sincerely thank US Govt office and USC for this. Not to forget Aron Warner and Arthur Fong. A big thank you.

AFS Animation Storytelling Workshop

I am honoured to be invited to be a panelist at the pitch session and another panel discussion at next week American Film Showcase. This is a film diplomacy program of the U.S. Department of State, produced by the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

Next week, they are producing a 5-day animation workshop in Luang Prabang, in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy Laos and the Luang Prabang Film Festival. They are hosting 16 animators and screenwriters, with 8 feature film animation projects, from Singapore, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines and Vietnam. The workshop will be led by producer Aron Warner (Shrek, Shrek 2, Book of Life) and visual development artist Arthur Fong (The Croods, Kung Fu Panda 3), and will focus on story development and pitching for animation.

On the last day of the workshop, they are hosting a pitch session, giving each of the teams an opportunity to formally present their projects and get feedback from professionals working in animation across Southeast Asia.

For those who are going, see you there.
