Thank You Dinner (hosted by Prof Kenneth Tan).
for Royston's Shorts DVD.

A compilation of 13 Royston Tan's short films released in a dvd collection, 'Royston's Shorts' was launched recently at HMV & Kinokuniya.

Both launches were highly successful with sessions of entertaining director's interviews, short films showcases & extended autograph sessions.

Fans with multiple copies of the dvd were a common sight, with many requesting for multiple autographs on the dvds, posters and flyers. It did not stop there. Fans also requested for a song which Royston obliged, singing four verses from his short film, Careless Whisperer.

Go get it.

Royston Tan's first feature, 15, shown with 27 cuts here in Singapore is now available in major retail/online dvd stores in Australia, the United States & the United Kingdom.

Banned in Singapore as 'a threat to national security', Royston Tan's first feature shows five 15 year-old boys leading lives alienated from every social reference. Distanced from family and schools, they spend their days in complete apathy and in the search for the bizarre, their imaginations completely colonised by MTV, cartoons, electronic jingles and comics.
