Hi! Ser En here, I'm the co-founder of Sendjoy, and I'm also the 1st Singaporean BAFTA winner for an animation short film, Poles Apart, that I've produced. For the past 10 years of my career, I worked in various aspects of film production, from the VFX of Godzilla, to commercials, movies and TV series!
Fun facts about me:
1. I've appeared on bus-stops all over Singapore for 3 years in a row.
2. The most famous person I met is probably Prince William.
3. I started an unofficial club when I was 15, to prank my classmates during their birthdays.
4. For two years I had blonde hair, and blue hair, and then purple hair. It was a nightmare to maintain.
I started Sendjoy because I think the world can have more joy across borders. Here's what you can book me for on Sendjoy!
Service 1:
1-min video message for you, or for your friend, or your parents. Ask me anything about the film industry- how it works, how to break in, how to audition for your dream role... I can send a word of encouragement to a friend in the media industry, or a message to your parents to assure them you're not too crazy if you want to charge into the media and entertainment industry, because I don't think I'm that crazy, yet 😉
Service 2:
15-min consultation if you want me to come up with an idea to prank your friend for any occasion.
Service 3:
Business enquiries. If you're a business development person looking to promote your services, or if you're a filmmaker and you'd like me to read your script, or watch your film for feedback, please use this service on Sendjoy to write a message to me. Sending me a message via Sendjoy will guarantee a response from me.
Here's my biography if you want to know more about the past 10 years of my life >.<
