I'd like to introduce to everyone to my co-producer, Armen Rizal Rahman, the man behind the music of e'TZAINTES + A WICKED TALE, the Danny Elfman of INRI studio (in case you don't know, Danny Elfman is the composer who did the music for most Tim Burton movies, including Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow and even Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).Music is to me one of the most important factors of filmmaking and it is so important to work with somebody who understands the story inside out. For it is with music that the undertones are delivered, filling up parts that visuals, colour, words and movement cannot express.
It is hard to believe that the music for e'TZAINTES and A WICKED TALE is done by the same person, just like it's hard to believe that e'TZAINTES and A WICKED TALE is written by the same writer too. They are two very different films that require different types of musical style. For e'TZAINTES, to be loud, imposing and majestic to celebrate the decadence of youth. For A WICKED TALE, to be almost invisible, atmospheric, to create a sense of tension and psychological manipulation, that is in appropriate for the fairytale.
A lot of research has been put into our work. From cinematography to props, acting style to set design, art direction and makeup, storytelling style and music. No one aspect is less important than the other. We know we do not have a big budget for our work. We were amateurs when we first started. But that does not stop us from investing time, energy, spirit and dedication. That's passion I guess. The edge that allows us to do what we do in spite of all the odds that stand in our way. And it is infectious! (Tzang M)

The relationship between film and audience is an interesting one. We can make the films. But it ultimately belongs to the people who watch it. THE AUDIENCE.
We're glad to know that the e'TZAINTES + A WICKED TALE screenings reached its right audience with this double screening, dedicated to artists and dreamers, misfits and thinkers, poets and believers. And we've SINEMA OLD SCHOOL to thank for that. It was a glorious homecoming. We worked hard to bring the films back after their epic run in the worldwide underground film festival circuit. All this done with the help of Eswandy and Antoinette from Develope Communications, who helped us with the promotion and publicity of the films.
The reason why the screening happened - WE REFUSE TO BELIEVE that 'Singapore audience are not ready for films like e'Tzaintes & Wicked. WE REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT SINGAPORE AUDIENCES ARE ONE AND THE SAME, who prefer to watch films about heartland angst set in coffeeshops and shophouses featuring ahbengs and ahlians, uncles and aunties. THERE EXISTS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SINGAPORE AUDIENCE - people who believe in the power of expression, people who believe in the importance to breakout of the mould that we've created for ourselves, people who are sick and tired of the same old shit, people who desire for something new.
And for THIS DIFFERENT TYPE OF SINGAPORE AUDIENCE, WE HAVE FOR YOU A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SINGAPORE FILM. This is what INRI studio is here for.
In the words of David Bowie - "If you're like everyone else don't try to be different. If you're different, don't try to be like everyone else."A big thank you to all the people who showed up at the premiere of e'TZAINTES + A WICKED TALE. Please continue to spread the word of the wicked. We need your support to continue doing what we do. Never say die. Rock N' Roll!

Loud, raw, brash, unapologetic and in-your-face!No, I am not talking about [e'Tzaintes] (though, by now, you should already know that those words apply too) I am talking about JOHNNY SHAMELESS AND HIS FUCKING MINIONS! (Armen)

I'm too inspired not to write about it. So I thought I'll just hijack this entry and add on. What is it that makes Johnny Shameless & His Minions so different? They are shameless. Unafraid to go out there and whip their shit out and see what comes out of it. Unafraid to play the fool, take a piss at the world and see what people makes out of it. I especially like the reaction of the crowd. Even by Home Club standards, Johnny Shameless and his Minions are … how should I say this… ‘deviant’ perhaps. It’s easy to call them poseurs … they stand out like a rude exposed erection - a trait perfect for our wankers, lamers, losers campaign. The music is loud, dirty and furious - infectious enough to get their heads knocking, blood throbbing and nerves rattling… but yet, we have a crowd full of people waiting for each other to do the first thing. Their stage presence is there, the shit is there, but with antics too out of sync from the Singapore comfort zone, people falter. There is apprehension. Nobody wants to be the first to mosh. There is awkwardness. And this is power. This is Rock N’ Roll! Not rock n’ roll the way Christian rock bands are performing for their friends in church. Not rock n’ roll in the way multi-platinum artists are performing at high profile rock festivals, but rock n’ roll in the way Iggy Pop is, Jimmy Hendrix is, and the Beatles are, when they were little rock-lings still trying to be accepted by the world. We’re not sucking up here. We truly enjoyed ourselves. And we’re honored to have shared the stage and night with scums whom we hardly know (but are just like us, in spirit), even for a few minutes, on a night we will all remember as 'TZAINTES NOT DEAD'.
