A Public Service Announcement

I was sent this email from Tan Pin Pin almost a month ago, and have been sitting on it since then. I feel especially guilty because it was Pin Pin not only went to NU as well, but is also the only Singaporean to have an Oscar (albeit a student one) to her name. Not forgetting the fact that I love this little movie here.

Hello Friends, as you probably know, I made a film called Singapore GaGa which opens theatrically at the Arts House from 11 March - 16 April, 5 weeks

The film premiered at Singapore International Film Festival 05 and has continued to play to full houses here and abroad, collecting great reviews along the way. Straits Times describes it as "A subtly subversive yet thoroughly celebratory film... one of the best films about Singapore" and the Malaysian Star says "Singapore GaGa presents a brilliant alternative gaga view of the go-go lion city"

I am very excited to be working with Objectifs films for this release and proud to premiere at the Arts House. But we need your help to ensure that this film finds its audience. Especially, if we perform well, more independent Singapore films can be released in the same way too. I am asking you to save the dates on 11 March - 16 April and urge everyone you know to come out and watch the film. I guarantee that you will be entertained, meet people you never met before, and be singing along to songs you can't get out of your head.

I will be at the screenings from 11-19 March to answer questions and to promote the film. In the meantime, please help spread the word. Some ways you can help.

1 Send an email flyer to all your friends, listservs, organisations
2 Link Singapore GaGa to your website, blog
3 Order tickets early (hotline 6332-6919) and organise an outing with friends! It's a perfect day out.

Postcards are available from objectifs if you would like to distribute them at your school or business.

Anyway, here's the screening info. Thanks again for your support and see you soon.

Best Regards, Pin Pin
