Bengs premiered last night at the Canon DV Fest, held at the DXO Club at the Esplanade. Screened to a crowd of over 500 guests, Bengs received a rousing applause when the end credits flashed. Despite the sight glitch during the screening, the feedback i received after the event was overwhelmingly positive. I wanna give a BIG SHOUT OUT to my wonderful team of assistants, creatives, crew and actors, without whom this film would not have been possible. Thank you guys!Also, a big thank you to the Beng fans for your generous votes!!! - ALaric
Trivia #2
Nov 19, 2006 10:41PM
* The word “Bengs” may seem a bit strange to our non-Singaporean friends. It is a word used to describe local gangsters. In recent times, it also evolved to describe a certain outlook or behaviour. Such as squatting by a pavement and talking loudly on the mobile phone, or talking in an uncivil manner, or in the case of this film, being a bully.
Trivia #1
Nov 19, 2006 10:40PM
* The title is a homage paid to Leon Gast & Taylor Hackford’s Academy Award winning documentary When We Were Kings, which was about one of Boxing’s greatest upsets – The 1974 heavyweight championship fight between former champion George Foreman and underdog challenger, Muhammad Ali.

hmmm - i just imported it from my site - like you would if you were uploading a youtube - i think if you do it through WAB - they take 24 - 48 hour to process it and things... try back soon.
