The film industry in Singapore has seemed to be in a bit of flux over the past few years, and dominantly in positive ways. We're seeing a broader range of genres embraced, a new generation of talent behind the camera, and legitimate home grown stars becoming more prevalent than ever, and all of this factors in to Randy Ang's upcoming police thriller Re:solve.Singapore's first crime thriller follows Serious Crimes Unit Inspector Chen Shaoqiang (Chris Lee Chih Cheng) as he tries to figure out a series of daring armed heists and seemingly unrelated murders.

For a city-state with a relatively low crime rate, police thrillers, or an action film in that sense, are somewhat conspicuously absent from the recent film scene in Singapore.

It’s been somewhat quiet on the Singapore front, but here’s something that should interest you Twitch folks!
Some years ago a group of friends and I dabbled with short film making, plunging ourselves headlong into an insane 48 hour competition. That same competition had yielded Nicholas Chee and Randy Ang’s short film which clinched top honours, and they had gone on to make the feature film Becoming Royston. Chai Yee-wei was one of the participants in that very same contest, and a few award winning shorts later, look where he is today as well, with a feature film under his belt too, waiting for a 3rd quarter release this year. As for my friends and I, well, erm, that’s another story for another day…
I’ve followed Yee-wei’s shorts film in recent years, having seen them either online at competition websites, or at local film festivals.
