A video message from the writer/producer of The Moment.

Coming Soon.

Release Dates

Hello People,

We apologize for taking such a long time with the post production of The Moment. Chris and I are preparing to finish up the post of a feature film as well as preparing for an upcoming short by a few of our friends.

As I'm in a middle of a prep meeting break, I shall rush and include an update on The Moment thus far:

* Our deadline for Christmas release have to be pushed back a little further.
* We have two different cuts, one of which needs a picture lock down.
* Without that picture lock down, our audio post and design are not done.
* This also means that our film score is on hold.

We are now aiming for July 2009 release.

There are lots of people who are waiting for this film and again, we apologize for the wait.

So far, the footage are rather exciting and some of our crew members and friends have seen it. Also, do watch out for The Children, Harsh City and Monique in the future as events of this story spans into three features.

We thank those who have been behind us and have been waiting patiently for this film.





Regards,

JD Chua
Screenwriter/Producer, The Moment

Selected Still from New Scene

This is from the new scene.

Rough Cut

The producers have seen the rough cut. It is shaping up so far. The scene in the picture takes place in school between the siblings.

Side Notes

Post-production for The Moment is still on-going but at a very slow pace. The producers still hope for a Christmas release.

Spin Off

The feature screenplay spin-off of The Moment is complete. The first draft is being registered and will circulate around script reads.



Previously entitled Hong Kong Street, it is now Monique. The time line of this story is set four years after The Moment. It features the character Yan and the unforgiving streets of Singapore.

If this project takes off, a new blog site will be set up.

One More Scene Pushed

The Producers are heading to Nepal for a documentary shoot. Thus, the new extra scene is pushed back to a later date.

They are extremely excited over the scene as how it would give the whole film an extra edge to the story.

Meanwhile, the release date is aimed at Christmas 2008.

One More Scene

The producers are planning to throw in one more scene to add to the conspiracies and drama.

We introduce the character JAMES and his belief in police brutality.

Pick up shoot may commence around June with a second unit team set up.
