Hush Baby was awarded the Special Mention award at the award ceremony of 22nd Singapore International Film Festival last night. I was so over the cloud that, even though I had my ‘thank-you’ speech memorised (which the audience must be aware of), I forgot the entire list of names whom I am thankful for, and would like to extend this award to them. Zihan, Vanessa, Henry, Harry, Thomas, Lincoln and Bernard. I think I am fortunate to have met friends and loved ones who believed in me enough to spend time, effort and money on Hush Baby, so thank you all.
