Remember this?
As part of Who's Shooting What, we asked filmmakers to fill us in on their upcoming projects in 2010. (Sneak: We will be having another round of Who's Shooting What in 2011 real soon! Do keep a lookout.) After close to half a year, Linus and David are finally presenting their work, Steadfast.
About Steadfast
Probably the most ambitious and biggest modern action film made in Singapore, the film features a cast of over 50 people, military and police gun-blazing sequences and a motorcade of BMWs. Steadfast is a non-profit independent film made by two very ambitious young directors from Singapore. The film is supported by The Singapore Film Commission, Canon Singapore, Samsonite and other private sponsors.
Synopsis
The chairman of an international defense systems corporation attempts to reveal a major financial cover-up, but finds himself the target of an assassin. Only a lone government agent is sent to neutralize the killer, but soon discovers a larger, more sinister scheme at work than a simple hit.
