Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

This is the story about how Great Eastern (a leading insurance company from Singapore) brought together 4 creatives with disabilities to form a production crew and produce a music video like no other. Instead of just casting people with disabilities, we hired them and put them in charge of the production – letting them tell their own stories, their way.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

A report in 2020 revealed that only 28.6% of Singaporeans with disabilities had any kind of a job – not to mention a job in a field as niche as production. It was difficult, if not impossible, to find ready-made crew members. With that said, the disability arts scene was growing from strength to strength. So, that's where we looked for our crew.

Tell the jury about the casting process.

In the end, we identified 4 creatives with disabilities who had skills that could be applied to production, albeit with a bit of guidance and training. Before he lost the use of his limbs in an accident, Melvin, 30, was an experienced videographer and a prominent musician. He was chosen to be our director. Zora, 24, is a fashion influencer and a marketing graduate with design experience. She joined our crew as a set designer. David, 58, is a visual artist who has been featured online. He lost his ability to walk after a spinal issue 6 years ago but regained it after a hard fight. Finally, we have our performer: Sophie, 23. Sophie is a visually impaired violinist who had appeared on charity shows but never before in commercial productions. She is also a para-swimmer and hopes to make her 1st appearance at the Paralympics in 2020 (she qualified).
