Dennis Chew releases poly FYP film in cinema

Local DJ Dennis Chew and his five Ngee Ann Polytechnic group mates premiered their final year project (FYP) short film at Golden Village Great World last night (July 22).

Titled Hi, DJ?, it starred local actor Shawn Thia and singer-songwriter Stella Seah, and several local celebrities were in attendance.

Veteran actress Chen Xiuhuan shared on her Instagram Story that she had brought her whole Sunny Side Up — the Mediacorp long-form drama which she starred in — family to the premiere, including Wang Yuqing, Noah Yap, Xenia Tan, Marc Valentine and Loh Ling Ying.

Also present were Chen Hanwei, Ix Shen, Hong Huifang and her singer son Calvert Tay.

Xenia, who is Shawn's fiancee, also shared an Instagram Story from the gala, congratulating Dennis, 50, and his classmates.

In a previous Instagram post commemorating the end of his polytechnic journey, Dennis shared that the aim of his FYP was to promote the "continued culture of listening to the radio" to the youth.

"This includes preparing and shooting a short film as well as a talk show, holding a movie premiere, and ensuring the sustainability of our project," he wrote.
