Our short film is now AVAILABLE ONLINE ๐ ๐ซง Thank you for all the love and support you have shown for MURK! (Exploring Singapore from Below) - weโve been so encouraged by your response.
Our greatest passion is to inspire even one person to love and appreciate the ocean. In Singapore, where diving conditions are often limited compared to other Southeast Asian destinations, we aim to reveal the hidden beauty beneath the murk. Inspired by Singaporeโs rich biodiversity, MURK! follows a group of underwater photographers as they document the intricate marine life in our waters.
[Directorโs note]: Ocean and climate stories are often heavy with doom and gloom. While itโs crucial to address the urgency of these issues, we also believe in the power of hope. Our vision was to create something originalโfilled with nostalgia, community and a quiet (or maybe not-so-quiet) cheerfulness. As a nation of 66 islands often seen only as a bustling city, this project was my chance to reconnect with our identity as islanders. We hope this resonates with you and inspires a new appreciation for the ocean. ๐
