Eating Air
吃风
1999| Singapore
| English, Mandarin, Hokkien |
Color | 100 min | Comedy/Romance
Directors: Kelvin Tong, Jasmine Ng
Cast: Benjamin Heng, Alvina Toh, Michelle Chong, Mark Lee
A romance between opposites, Eating Air follows the lives of two
teenagers during one of the hottest months in
Singapore.
For Boy breaking into bridal shops under moonlight is as wildly
exciting as taking Girl on her first motorcycle spin. For Girl,
hurtling down the highway faster than the speed of sound is as
intoxicatingly frightening as wondering where Boy rushes off to
everytime he receives a page. Eating Air is about the joys and
pangs of teenage love...

One Leg Kicking (PG)
2001 | Singapore
| English | Color | 90 min |
Comedy
Director : KHOOKOH
Cast : Gurmit Singh,
Mark Lee, Sharon Au, Moe Alkaff
One Leg Kicking” tells the story about a group of underdogs who
form an amateur football team (THE DURIANS) to play in a fictional
local league organized by a farsighted sponsor. The prize for the
winners: a trip to the 2002 World Cup Finals. Gurmit Singh plays
(TAI PO) the common man’s hero, raising his two young children
single handedly after his wife passed away. The rest of the
“Durians” include Mark Lee (HANDSOME), an ex-convict with major
anger management problems, Moe Alkaff (VERNON), a lounge singer
struggling against his deadly nemesis, the karaoke machine; and
Sharon Au (KIM) a tender but tough tomboy, while Siva Choy (SAMMY
BEST) plays the inspirational coach who moulds them into a winning
side.
"I'm constantly surrounded by soccer fanatics and it was during the
last world cup final when Brazil lost to France that I seriously was interested in
making a film with the sport in it. Around 1999, I began working
with James Toh on the premise but the treatments were constantly
changing and at several points I wanted to drop the project but the
one person that urged me on was Joe Ng, a huge soccer nut. One
morning, Gurmit's face appeared in my mind so I called him up and
said "Gurmit, do you like soccer?" His reply, "I breath and I smell
soccer everyday." Hmm... destiny? I felt inspired and pulled in Wei
Koh to do the screenplay." - Eric Khoo
