The co-founder of Originasian Pictures, Nicholas is also an accomplished photo-artist and a sponsored member of the Master Photographers’ Association based in the UK. Becoming Royston has been further developed into a full-length feature film and was nominated for Best Script, Best Cinematographer and Best Actor in the Asian Festival of First Films 2006 in Singapore.
3. Katong Fugue by Boo Junfeng
A film adaptation of a short play about a boy with a hidden life and a mother desperately trying to reach out.
