SMHFF'22: Reel Loss

A short film about grief and loss

This is the second year we're participating in the Singapore Mental Health Film Festival (SMHFF) Short Film Youth Competition.

Yuki brought together a new band of rag-tag folks and so I was mostly playing a supporting role in this one, simply letting the newbies experiment to their comfort levels during the shoot. Came in closer towards the end with post-production work.

What I love about the competition is that it tackles important conversations while providing accessibility to young filmmakers out there. Hope you enjoy the film as much as we enjoyed making it.

James faces the predicament of confronting his grandmother's recent death after unearthing her old VCR tape.
