KEBELAKANG PUSING (11 min)
As part of a Total Defence Day exercise, 3 teenage NCC Cadets are assigned to roleplay as Japanese Occupation soldiers. However, things take a turn for the worse when their newfound power leads to them taking the students hostage.

ABOUT
"Kebelakang Pusing" was my thesis short film for my film diploma in Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Inspired by a real life incident in 1999, I developed the story further based on my experience growing up in an all-boys Catholic school. I wished to express how easily social classes/power hierarchies are formed from a young age; particularly when frivolous positions such as Student Councillors and NCC Sergeants are awarded to impressionable youths.
