Shining a spotlight on social issues through film – that was the inspiration behind NUS CNM Society's (@nus.cnm) PitchIt! 2023 competition. 19 teams of aspiring scriptwriters, filmmakers and actors came together to advocate for social issues close to their hearts. They learned from social service organisations such as New Hope Community Services (@nhcs.sg) and Club HEAL (@clubheal.sg) as well as film industry veterans such as award-winning film director Ray Pang (@ray_pang) on producing compelling films that spotlight issues of homelessness, gender inequality, food sustainability, mental wellbeing and education in Singapore. Participants also heard from passionate media professionals from @ourgrandfatherstory, Google.org and @OurBetterWorld on crafting stories through film. Thank you to all who participated and mentored our students, and congratulations to the finalists and winners! #NUSLife #NUSCares #ShapeTheFuture Read more at nus.edu/newsnow or hit our link in bio!
