TO SPEAK made its Asian Premiere last night at the Singapore Panorama section of the Singapore International Film Festival. Despite a day of torrential rain To Speak debuted to a full house at the new home of Singapore independent film - Sinema OldSchool.
First time writer/director, Craig Ower, introduced the film explaining the long road this self-funded feature had taken over a development period of 3 years. Craig thanked many from the Sinagpore film industry for their help and support in bringing To Speak to the screen including, Infinite Frameworks, Home Studio, Objectifs, The Substation, the Media Development Authority, the Singapore Film Commission and of course, the Singapore International Film Festival.
Craig also paid tribute to composer Reuben Kee, one of the 5 Singapore National Dragon Boaters who drowned last November in Cambodia, while competing in the annual dragon boat festival on the Tonle Sap river. Reuben composed and performed the entire soundtrack for To Speak. Craig spoke of how proud and grateful he was to have Reuben's wonderful music as part of To Speak.
Following Craig's introduction a short video memorial to Reuben was screened before moving on to To Speak itself.
Craig and producer Lionel Chok, then took questions from the enthusiastic audience at the end of the screening.
