Video LINK: UNCAGE Anthony Chen for Tiger Beer

A couple months ago, I got a call that I had booked a commercial in Singapore. It was a quick trip down for Tiger Beer’s ‘UNCAGE’ series of ads around the region. I would be an actress playing an actress for Singaporean director Anthony Chen.

Anthony Chen is a filmmaker that hails from Singapore and won them their first prestigious Palm D’Or award in Cannes. His film Ilo Ilo won many awards including the Golden Horse Award and Malaysia’s Yeoh Yann Yann also brought an award home for Best Actress.

The whole time it felt like a serious case of Inception because they were directing Anthony to direct. I was an actress playing an actress in a pretend movie he was shooting but not shooting. Hahaha well I had a ton of fun and it was nice working in Singapore! I’m surprised I hadn’t done much work across the causeway – hopefully there will be more opportunities to come!

I was looked after really well and had such a lovely experience with the Singapore and Australian team. Fun times indeed – I hope you guys like the commercial. It has a wonderful message and the imagery is fantastic. Kudos to DROGA5!

And super big thank you for my cousin MY for letting me stay at hers everytime I scuffle over to Singapore!
