Putting together a video project takes a village and a lot of time, but for young local filmmaker Lan Yu, she beat the odds to put together an award-winning short film titled $ingapura in just two days.

The three-minute film — which peeks into a day in the life of a taxi driver as he picks up passengers that represent the everyday Singaporean, showing the disparate stories he bears witness to — took home the Overall Best Film and Best Screenplay at last year's ciNE65 Movie Makers Awards (ciNE65 MMA) for the Open Category.
