Gripping Feature #LookAtMe screens at the Fall 2023 New Jersey Film Festival

Kew Kwek, a Singaporean director, playwright, and author, has showcased his talent once again through his latest feature film, #LookAtMe. The movie is loosely based on the true story of video blogger Amos Yee, and portrays the impact of the oppressive Singapore government on the lives of its citizens. Kwek's masterful direction is evident in the film, adding to his already impressive repertoire (Sex.Violence.FamilyValues, Unlucky Plaza). Dancing between genres, Kwek creates a film that subtly portrays the oppression of the Singapore government while being a family drama and suspenseful thriller, taking the viewer on a rollercoaster of emotions. The film is a brilliant showcase of Kwek's directorial prowess, his exceptional talent to create an awe-inspiring cinematic experience despite working with a restricted budget and a tight schedule, and his ability to craft a captivating narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you attached to the Mazuki family.
