Stories that hold a room quiet.
A Singapore film director making narrative shorts, commercials and branded films that hold a room quiet.
I make one idea land, not twelve blur together.
Every film I direct starts with a single question: what is the one thing this needs to make an audience feel? I would rather a short film do one thing completely than a long one do everything halfway.
That belief came from years of festival work, where you cannot hide behind budget — only behind a clear idea, well executed. I bring the same discipline to a sixty-second commercial as to a fourteen-minute drama. The polish is the same; only the runtime changes.

Conversation
We talk through the one thing your film needs to make an audience feel. No treatment until we agree on that.
Treatment & plan
I write a director’s treatment — look, references, shot logic — and a realistic plan for days, crew and budget.
On set
I direct the shoot, protect the idea from drift, and capture every cutdown your rollout will need.
Edit to master
Edit, grade, sound and delivery. You see a first cut early and we refine within agreed rounds.
What you actually get when you hire me
A director, not a vendor
You work directly with the person making creative decisions — from the first call to the final grade.
One idea, protected
I keep every film honest to a single idea, so it lands instead of blurring into another montage.
Festival-trained eye
Narrative work for festivals sharpens everything — even a 15-second spot benefits from that discipline.
Singapore, told properly
Local stories filmed with care, and the practical know-how of permits, locations and crew here.

What it’s like on the other side of the lens
“Ezra took a worthy-but-boring brief and made something people actually rewatched. He fought for the idea in every meeting, and the campaign was stronger for it.”
“I’ve been filmed before and hated all of it. This was the first time a film felt like me. Our workshop bookings jumped after it went up on the site.”
“A one-take video sounded mad and he just made it work. Eleven takes in the rain and he kept everyone calm. People still DM me about that video.”
“We brought Ezra in to direct and he read the room instantly. The cast trusted him by lunch. We’ve booked him three times since.”
