SINGAPORE If you were to scroll through the Golden Village website, chances are you would find a seemingly obscure title called Oversteer among a long list of global blockbusters.
Money No Enough 3 will be the first film by HiJack Pictures, the joint venture between regional movie distributor Clover Films and Jack's own J Team Productions.
Project Unsung Heroes
Chong co-founded a digital storytelling creative agency called Project Unsung Heroes and worked with purpose-driven businesses to amplify their stories. The company is now on hiatus as she seeks to expand her skills as a filmmaker. During the peak of its operation, she managed to raise over $100,000 in donations for local causes and produced 20 documentaries that featured the struggles of often overlooked groups in society.
Casting a spotlight
One group that resonates deeply with her is ex-offenders. “As a filmmaker, I find it really difficult to broach the topic as it’s very easy to pass judgement on them. If you look at the way they’re being portrayed in the media, videos on ex-offenders often show how they’ve completely turned over a new leaf and are thriving in their new phase of life. But in reality, only a handful succeed and such content tends to alienate the rest of them.”
