Jeremy Sing, SINdie
On 12 March 2016
Movie reviewing might be one of the least scientific forms of writing in the universe of written material. There is no fixed formula and the best reviews are not the sum of their parts. In Singapore, the confines of editorial space, common knowledge and function have necessitated certain easily recognisable and formulaic forms of review writing. Thankfully, the blogosphere remains a playground for writing of a more contrarian or analytical nature to grow. While there is no science to producing a good review, good reviewers are easily identifiable. They have a presence so compelling, every word of their writing rings in your ear.
Jeremy Sing, founder of SINdie, an online journal dedicated to Singapore films, shares his journey in making sense of movie writing, and finding a voice for himself.
