The Team
Meet The Visionaries
"Making The Violinist has been an emotional rollercoaster—mostly because I keep wondering why I chose to animate 80 years of history instead of something simple, like a stick figure walking across the screen. But hey, if you’re going to lose sleep, might as well do it for a film that actually matters. I hope this movie will inspire people to appreciate history—because animating it nearly sent me into early retirement."
"When I was asked to work on The Violinist, I thought, ‘Great, a beautiful story about love, resilience, and history.’ Then I realized, ‘Wait, this means thousands of frames of intricate animation.’ I signed up anyway—because what’s life without a little suffering for art? I hope this film will show the world that Singapore's animation industry is a force to be reckoned with, even if our animators may never recover from the deadlines."
"Scoring The Violinist was a deeply personal experience. Not because of the historical depth or emotional weight of the story, but because I spent weeks trying to figure out how to make a violin sound both heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. In the end, I poured my soul (and probably some tears) into this soundtrack, hoping audiences will be too emotionally moved to notice that I haven’t slept in months."
"Producing The Violinist has been an incredibly rewarding experience—if you consider endless budgeting, scheduling chaos, and existential dread to be rewarding. But seriously, bringing this film to life has been worth every sleepless night. I hope it inspires future generations of storytellers, while also reminding them that making an animated feature is not for the faint of heart. Watch the film. Appreciate the effort. Send coffee."
