NRIn Singapore, a stuntman teams up with his brother and ex-sister-in-law to keep their declining stunt school alive.

NRIt is a modern-day adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello. The film’s title (Malay: "Fine Needle") is derived from a Malay idiom meaning web of deceit or conspiracy, which is a major theme in the plot of the film. The plot remains faithful to the source material, with the cast all taking their Shakespearian counterparts either in name, character or both.
Fine Needle
2008
A taut financial thriller that takes place during the height of Singapore's COVID lockdown, More More More follows finance bros Ben and Jamie as they are summoned to their enigmatic boss Bobby's hotel room in the dead of night. Bobby loops Ben and Jamie into a unique but risky proposition: take advantage of the precarious COVID-19 situation and gamble on crude oil trading before the rest of the world wakes up to a deal that could make (or cost) them millions... In one night. Based on a true story.
