Booze galore at our Opening Party.. our sponsors Samuel Seow Law Corporation were so sweet to be turning up in an entourage.
Though the lighting does not quite suffice, we still like how this painted billboard (by Mr Neo Chon Teck, Singapore's last surviving billboard painter) makes Substation look like a cinema from the 80s.

Poster critics
We also several filmmakers to pose next to their babies. here is familiar face in Malay TV, director Sanif Olek and his poster for A La Folie designed by Yane
The other Mr Neo in our exhibition (other than Neo Chon Teck) needs no introduction. He said he has a stack on Liang Po Po posters somewhere and give us for the next Mise En SIN. Wonder if he could come as Liang Po Po too?
Another face that needs no introduction, Royston Tan, posing next to his poster for 4:30, currently one of the most voted poster in our online poster voting contest. We love how he uses the old-school wardrobe as the visual in the poster
