I remember being quite excited when I was cast to do the 25th Laura – my first short film ever, only a couple of weeks after arriving in Singapore in June last year (2009).  It was exciting for a number of reasons – previous to this, most of my acting roles were for small guest roles, this was my first lead as an actor.  Also I don’t think I have shot in film previously – although I could be mistaken .  I’m really excited for Joshua and his crew, hope they win a Silver Screen Award!!!
