Hello all! We're a team of 5 final-year students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Film, Sound & Video course. We'll be producing our thesis short film, a musical set in a supermarket

This short-film musical of the romantic-comedy genre would bring us through the importance of plucking up one's courage and persisting in the fight for one's dreams. It speaks of how an introverted supermarket worker (Ah Mann), who has fallen in love with a female regular patron (Jamie), has one last night to profess his love for her just before the supermarket closes down.

A very strong obstacle he has to overcome would be his competitive rival at love and at work, Ah Lok. Ah Mann realizes that in order to defeat Ah Lok and to win over the love of his life, he has to first step out of his hermit shell. Together as one, the quirky supermarket workers come together as they wreck their brains to help Ah Mann succeed in this game of love.

The bashful Ah Mann has a song in his heart that he can never seem to complete. The closely-knit supermarket staff come together in one accord to help him in the completion of this song--However, it is Jamie who holds the key to the song's finale.

We had our 1st round of auditions 2 weeks ago and some people were unable to make it. So good news, we'll be holding another session on 3rd Oct (Friday). Especially if you enjoy singing, dancing & acting, we sincerely welcome you to come down for our 2nd round of auditions. If you're unable to make it on that day, contact us anyway and we'll come up with an arrangement somehow.

Filming stipulated to be 4-5 days within the period of Nov 13-29th.

If you don't have one (because you're just starting out) it's fine, just attach several photos and a short write-up to let us know more about you.

As this is a self-funded students' film, we do not have a huge budget for high renumeration. However, we would definitely cover all meal and transport expenses, as well as a token sum (per day), depending on the amount we're able to get from sponsors. To be confirmed again. This thesis film project would also be sent for competition in film festivals by our institution upon completion.

Please feel free to contact me (XiuQi) should you have any queries. Visit our blog www.store-bought-love.blogspot.com for more details and updates. Please help to spread the word to friends and relatives who might be interested! Greatly appreciated, thanks for your time! =)
