Viewpoint: How The Violinist put Singapore animation in the global spotlight

from The Afternoon Update with Lynlee Foo · host MONEY FM 89.3

The Violinist has made history as the first Singapore-led animated feature to win Annecy's top prize —an honour that has propelled previous winners into the Academy Awards race. Lynlee Foo sat down with Executive Producer Justin Deimen and Co-Director Ervin Han to discuss the decade-long journey behind the film, why they believed a story rooted in Singapore and Southeast Asia could resonate with audiences around the world, how an international collaboration brought the project to life, and whether this landmark victory could mark the beginning of an even bigger global journey.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
