A few things happened recently.

I went to SICC. Singapore Island Country Club. They were showing my movie as a National Day Treat. Thank u SICC!

Sat down and have a chat with some K Roar Enthusiast, I asked one group what made them come to see the show.
One father told me, “oh, my mother was just here in the morning, said that she enjoyed it very much, so here i am with my kid.”

After the show, he told me he liked it as well….

another conversation with another more elderly person, revealed that the movie was totally relevant to his generation. The auntie, told me he loved the old days of Quah Kim Song, then she showed me with break dancing vigor, how he “Zooom” here zoom there. She herself was “geleking” (Gelek King Dollah Kassim) around to exxaggerate how much she loved Team Singapore.

Then the third conversation, another man who simply loved the show asked me

“So, is it out in the cinemas?”

So ok, We did learn a big marketing lesson this time. Movies will still be movies, have to have that in your face effect. I would like to say, Everybody, Trust me, my name is Cheng Ding An, i vow to write really cool funny stories with a tinge of morality, not too harsh, light hearted funny, comedy, and now going into romance, that you will like….

But I can’t, and it doesnt work that easy…and marketing is big money, Pixar animation marketing budget for Singapore alone could be up to 1 million dollars….i have used less to make the entire movie Kallang Roar.

So here we are This sunday, the effect i wanted. The entire Nation sees it. More people can tell me what they loved or did not love about it. More opinions, so i can serve them better. Also takes some marketing though, but At least on OKTO, its there, and its after National Day Rally some more, THANK U OKTO people for giving me a shot!

So here it is Kallang Roar 2nd Life, or maybe 3rd life…..

Thinking back, i have no regrets making this movie, with the limited experience i have. I have still alot to improve, but me and Kay Siu, are proud, as well as all the production people…

actors…..

all the old aunties who climbed the stairs of Kallang Stadium to “Mock” fill up the entire empty stadium for green screen effect – just to put a smile on your face all of us are ready

Here we go!
