“To me, it is also important to showcase how the Singapore film industry has evolved over the years, and how we could create good, well-received movies under challenging conditions back then. I feel that with Netflix supporting local movies, it will be win-win for both Netflix and the entire Singapore film industry!,” said Jack Neo, director of films such as I Not Stupid, Homerun and Ah Boys to Men.
