SG films standards

One day i was viewing you tube on Singapore short films. Also, i was looking at short films from other countries through vimeo.

To be honest, i felt there is a gap in standards between Singapore short film and other countries. It could be due to that Singapore is a very young modern countries and has little history.

I remember when i was studying film, it was Roytan's short film that inspired me to tell story through motion pictures. I think i watched most of all his shorts and features except 12 lotus.
I feel that younger generation's films lack of individual style.
As i am working on my own too.



Recently i had a discussion with a few passionate film-making friends. We shared views and concluded these:

In Singapore as long as you are rich, you have contacts and investors, you can make your first feature with little film background or none. Some were even from other occupations.

Although money $$$ can buy you knowledge & experience, i believe that one should develop their unique style and trademark and NOT mimicking and be common or normal.

Yes i agree at a point that money is important to make a film possible but with little life experience, i don't think it is possible to fully maximize and execute in telling a in depth life story that involve emotions especially at a young age.
Therefore i feel that young directors can only do certain genre of film.

I also believe a style can only be develop through time and practice(keep making films).

I do not wish that in years to come, the mindset of Singapore film-making is about trying to make films for the sake of making film so commercially.
On general i am talking not only about shorts but features as well.
