Singapore Film Commision : come Film with Me " sung to the Tune of Come Fly with me !"
COME FILM WITH ME
The Singapore Tourism (STB) will be providing a total of S$10million, over a period of three years, to foreign producers and production companies in an effort to woo leading international filmmakers and broadcasters to shoot movies and television programmes in Singapore. Under the newly launched Film in Singapore! Scheme (FSS), announced on 21 May 2004, STB hopes to attract more overseas TV and film companies to film on location in Singapore. With the increasing appearances of ÂSingapore in wide-ranging and far-reaching international media productions, STB hopes to attract more tourists to Singapore. Under the FSS, STB would subsidise, up to a maximum of 50 per cent, for qualifying expenses incurred by international production companies during their shoots in Singapore. Qualifying expenses would include hiring of local professional services, rental of production equipment and facilities, and airfare and accommodations.
