My niece, who lives in China, is trying to go to school for film studies but doesn't want to do what the rest of her peers are doing, which is to move to the US for it. Would it be crazy for me to recommend Singapore to her? I don't know anything about the film scene here, but I know this place can inspire someone to make films. How good or bad would it be to consider SG for filmmaking as a student?

Why wouldn’t you want her to move to the US for film school? SG’s scene is very early stages still, and so if she wants to “make it big”, not a bad idea to get some fundamentals developed in the US - then she can go anywhere from there.

Singapore’s film scene is growing, and the city itself is super inspiring with its modernity and rich local stories. Plus, there’s a lot of support for emerging filmmakers here, like film festivals, short film competitions, and a community of local artists. Singapore's film industry is no Hollywood or Bollywood, but it’s definitely vibrant and evolving, with a lot of opportunities for hands-on learning and networking. tell her to check out institutes like Lasalle College of the Arts or NAFA
