CheeWei has completed the scoring for NOVA - Ultimate Space Telescope…. well… almost! (There’s still a little left to complete!)
Ultimate Space Telescope follows the dramatic story of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope - the most complex machine ever launched into space - in hopes of peering deeper back in time than ever before and answering some of astronomy's biggest questions.
Ultimate Space Telescope Premieres on PBS on 13th July 2022 in USA. Check Local listings for timing!
CheeWei's short documentary “Not Your Average Neighbour”, picked up the “Best Documentary” and “Best Edit” awards at the 10th Toronto Indie Shorts Festival.
The festival mainly focuses on arthouse narrative, experimental, animation and documentaries from international and Canadian talents.
The festival was created by a team of Canadian directors, producers, critics and film scholars from York University of Toronto.
The mission of the festival is to recognize and promote short films through the Toronto Indie Shorts.
CheeWei's short documentary “Not Your Average Neighbour”, collected the “Outstanding Achievement Award” in the “Best Film Score” and “Best Documentary Film” categories at the recent World Film Carnival.
"Not Your Average Neighbour" explores the controversial world of graffiti and street art told through the perspective of Steve, a Melbournian street artist and a personal friend of CheeWei’s.
Steve shares his personal story of finding a place in the underground scene where public perception shifts between visual artistry and vandalism.
The win came as a total surprise to CheeWei and his team as Singapore being the host country of the festival, has strict laws treating underground street art as a criminal activity, which leads to massive fines or imprisonment not exceeding three years, and also mandatory corporal punishment of not less than three strokes and not more than eight strokes of the cane.
CheeWei would like to thank everyone involved in the project.
