My name is Leslie and I teaching Storytelling Techniques. In my spare time, I also write scripts and direct programs with the greater and more noble goal of elevating the level of film and television entertainment both in Singapore and wherever else I can.
Over the last 8 years or so, I have run the gamut of the film and television industry in Singapore and regionally, doing things like loading film magazines in the backs of smelly moving vans, yelling at lacklustre extras (you can only get so much motivation from $30 a day, I suppose), applying “dulling” spray on a $150,000 car (a personal achievement), doing script re-writes in a tent in the middle of a sandstorm in the Gobi Desert, taking my commas for granted, almost coming to blows with a Sopranos styled red-faced bouncer at a Kanye West party in New York, directing a bunch of rowdy children and unruly animals and not knowing the difference between both at the end of the day, wiping bird poo off the top of the head of the Sir Stamford Raffles statue at Empress Place (there’s a lot of poo – trust me) and finally settling on teaching people on how to do all of the above (again, trust me, this one’s the hardest.)
