This just goes to show how much we owe it to the crew and cast =) thanks again guys! And I bet Johnson would be estatic to hear that someone thinks his score was exceptional! =D
Ok, I know this is way belated. But thanks to Henry (our lead) for pointing this out. We were featured in U Weekly for our First Take screening. Always nice to see free publicity. =p

First Take
More details about the other short films here.
On the 2nd and 3rd of May 2008, we had the first private screening for all our video (and one audio) FYPs at the Singapore Arts Museum.
Let’s just say that after months of gruelling work (and some bouts of depression in between), we were extremely happy to hear all the great reviews some of the audience gave our film. Day in day out of staring at the same pix over and over again (or hearing the same audio replay over and over again for one of us :p) sort of desensitised us to the whole process of filmmaking. It was this nite (and the audience) that truly reminded us why we even bother to do the things we did or to work as hard as we did. You guys were entertained and hopefully enlightened as well (we are after all a comms school ya know; no message, no gain, no point -.-”) and that is what really matters.
Thanks a bunch to our cast, crew, friends and relatives who joined us on the first day when Shut In was screened. You guys were, as usual, fantastic! 
Guess you guys know that already, needless to say without our power cast and power crew and all your invaluable advice (albeit given at the gunpoint sometimes ;p) none of this would be happening! Pictures will be posted somewhere sometime soon hehz. So stayed tuned!
Next stop, film festivals! hopefully… -.-
