Nan Dan

We are a team of 8 from Temasek Polytechnic, Digital Film & Television, working on our Final Year Project. We hope to raise funds for our film, Nan Dan, which is about a male Wayang performer being forced to explore his masculinity when he pursues a lead female role.

We aim to bring and shed light about a topic that is not commonly talked about in Singapore: GENDER IDENTITY. It is something that all of us agree on. Being comfortable to ask ourselves these questions and explore these touchy areas of our lives is our main goal.

Chinese Opera is a dying trade in Singapore even though it used to be part of our heritage in the early years. Bringing it back into the limelight would not only serve them good, but to our generation today by showing them this vibrant and fascinating culture.

Our sub-themes also explore masculinity and gender stereotypes and we think this is quite a new topic in Singapore that has been recently talked about. Hence, we are VERY relevant.

We thank everyone for your support and to show our gratitude, we will be adding the names of whoever who funds us in the end credits of the film, so look out for your name :)
