Saint Jack: Thanks for Coming!

Hello all! Jeremy and I would like to thank everyone who came earlier tonight for Saint Jack! We were really happy with the turn-out, and the post-film chat. Thanks also to Ben who shared very interesting anecdotes about the film with us, and to Lucas who moderated the session!

We also hoped that you enjoyed the film, and will come back for more in the weeks to come (hehe).

As this marked the first time the film series has been held in PGP, we hope you'll forgive us for any minor hiccups - looks like the bring-your-own-cushion idea largely fell through!

In any case, do let us know if you have any feedback about the session: from the room, to the seating arrangements, to the programme booklets - anything at all! Let us know by leaving a comment here, or emailing me at jeannetai@nus.edu.sg

For those who weren't able to attend, if you're still interested in watching Saint Jack, you can purchase the DVD from HMV outlets in Singapore. Alternatively, if you're a student at NUS, the Central Library stocks copies of the film, and you can watch it in the library's Multimedia room. In response to a question I was asked several times today, I'm afraid that the DVD does not contain an option for subtitles!

Ben Slater's book Kinda Hot: The Making of Saint Jack in Singapore is available in major bookstores like Borders and Kinokuniya. There's also a copy in the Singapore-Malaysian Collection of the NUS Central Library. Do check it out - it's a really fascinating read with lots of interesting trivia!

So thanks once again, and we hope to see you at future screenings! Watch this space for more news :)
