Viewpoint: How The Violinist put Singapore animation in the global spotlight

Lynlee Foo sat down with Executive Producer Justin Deimen and Co-Director Ervin Han to discuss the decade-long journey behind the film, why they believed a story rooted in Singapore and Southeast Asia could resonate with audiences around the world, how an international collaboration brought the project to life, and whether this landmark victory could mark the beginning of an even bigger global journey.
