We see them on our screens, but do we know what they really feel? Join some of our most beloved local film actors as they go off-script and spill the tea on what it truly takes to build an acting career in Singapore.
In this candid roundtable moderated by veteran actress Janice Koh, performers behind iconic Singaporean films share what they look for in directorial collaborations, the dream roles they are still waiting to play, and the conscious choices they make as a Singaporean actor performing for local and international audiences.
If the film industry has ever felt like a mysterious black box, this session offers an intimate, honest look behind the curtain at what it means to act—and belong—here today.
