On Saturday, Twitchfilm forwarded a new 30-second teaser for the upcoming action thriller, re:solve. Courtesy of Red Action Entertainment & JF LENNON, the film is being pitched Singapore’s first ever police action thriller from director Randy Ang, who broke ground with his first online movie magazine publication, Sinema.SG and founded his own independent theater a year later, prior to successfully cutting his teeth in film as the executive producer and art director of the 2007 cult indie feature film Becoming Royston, as well as producing and marketing for the 2008 film, The Days.
After then building his career for the next four years through directing commercials, music videos, musical features and shortfilms, it seems Ang is ready to prove that he can take it to the next level. And as you will see in the teaser at the bottom of the page, it looks like a real kickass effort.
SYNOPSIS:
Singapore’s first crime thriller follows Serious Crimes Unit Inspector Chen Shaoqiang (Chris Lee Chih Cheng) as he tries to figure out a series of daring armed heists and seemingly unrelated murders.
