Singapore Sunset in 3D launches at ScreenSingapore
Australian producers Bill Leimbach and Mandaley Perkins will attend ScreenSingapore this week in support of their new $28million project Singapore Sunset in 3D.
About the Japanese bombing of Singapore and its lead up between December 1941 and February 1942, including the bombing of Britain’s battleship HMS Prince of Wales and battle cruiser HMS Repulse, the film will bring together a multinational cast with production in both Singapore and Australia.
Of their attendance at ScreenSingapore, Leimbach, producer of Beneath Hill 60, said, “We hope to put the spotlight on the project for the first time – a sort of ‘coming out. It’s a project that many have heard we are putting together, in the financial sector and the film sector and now we have all our tools ready: promo video, website, script, budget and the casting and director’s search is well underway. It’s a project ready to start, and this particular inaugural event is a great time to get the film above the radar.”
	
It’s crazy not to seek official co-production status, particularly with a country as flexible as Singapore.
