FSV gave me the foundation to truly understand and appreciate the craft of film and video — not just on the big screen, but in the everyday moments on our phones. The skills I learnt here became my superpower in the working world, helping me adapt and thrive in the fast-changing world of new media. My years in NP FMS inspired me to be bold in chasing my dreams — even in careers that hadn’t yet existed.
Your dream to be a filmmaker begins here in FSV. If you don't believe me? Ask Anthony Chen and Boo Junfeng.
I got my job in radio actually because of my knowledge in film. To set myself apart from others, I didn’t say “Hi can I be your new DJ?” Instead I said, “let me document all your events and interviews through video, work with the marketing team to make it go viral - and also be your new DJ. Being passionate and knowledgeable in cinema led to opportunities to interview Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Zendaya, as well as directors I used to study like Guillermo Del Toro and Robert Rodriguez. I remember buying Kiss92’s first camera tripod and training the staff how to set it up, the same way my teachers taught me then. And the values of being on set, are the ones I adopt everyday when I’m on-air
FSV gave me the tools to transform thoughts and ideas into moving images, which was exhilarating for a wide-eyed teenager who had just graduated from secondary school. We watched movies, learned from them, and then picked up the camera and made our own! It’s not only a school to receive an education; it’s a place where dreams can be realised.
Filmmaking is a journey of self-discovery and growth, all the while making amazing friends along the way. This adventure all started here for me at Ngee Ann Polytechnic‘s Film, Sound and Video.
