Editor of a Cannes Film Festival (Palme d’Or – Official Competition) feature film, with extensive experience across broadcast television, feature films, documentaries, commercials, music videos, and corporate content.
I edited My Magic (2008), directed by Eric Khoo — the first Singaporean film selected In Competition at Cannes and Singapore’s official submission to the Academy Awards (Best International Feature Film). The film was also selected for major international festivals including Busan International Film Festival and International Film Festival Rotterdam.
My broadcast work spans both Tamil and English networks in Singapore, including Mediacorp productions such as Inthu Enna Pattu (musical game show), Sweet Tapioca Porridge (Channel 5 telemovie), Tamizh (documentary series), and Rusiyo Rusi – Season 2, a travelogue and cooking show hosted by Kumar, one of Singapore’s most recognised stage and television personalities.
Beyond broadcast, I regularly handle television commercials, medical and corporate interviews, insurance engagement videos, medical screening content, virtual events, social media deliverables, music videos, and independent documentaries. I manage full post-production — editing, colour correction, audio cleanup, sound design, and broadcast-ready delivery — and can adapt across all genres and platforms with speed and precision.

The film was selected In Competition at the Cannes Film Festival (Palme d’Or), making it the first Singaporean film to achieve this honour, and was Singapore’s official submission to the Academy Awards (Oscars).
My role involved shaping the narrative structure, pacing, emotional rhythm, and performance flow for a feature-length film intended for international theatrical exhibition.
The project demanded strong storytelling judgment, collaboration with the director, and delivery to strict festival and broadcast technical standards.
