PROGRAM: NYU Tisch Asia Showcase
90 Minute Running Time
Program: Short Film Programs
We discovered NYU Tisch School of the Arts Asia, and were inspired by what we saw: a remarkable level of emerging talent from filmmakers who are steeped in a new global storytelling -- something we think is a vital element of the modern filmic landscape. Based in the multicultural society of Singapore, the school has students from 21 countries and a faculty of working film professionals who are dedicated to educating the next generation of storytellers.
