Stills from Grid Synergy’s teaser film
A local action comedy feature film
The guys from Grid Synergy have set out to produce our island’s first full length action comedy film. The brain child of award-winning director Gilbert Chan (whose previous films include 23:59 and Ghost Child) and seasoned local actor Vincent Tee, I’mpossible tells the story of a teenage boy discovering his talent in martial arts and going from an underdog to a martial arts champ. Of course, producing a film from scratch is no walk in the park. They’ve just launched a kickstarter campaign and are aiming for US$50,000 ($67,705). Click here to support—it’s about time we got a kickass action film. Need more convincing? Check out their short teaser film.
Stoke
Gourmet barbequing
Want to have a BBQ without having to do all the leg work? You’ll be glad to hear of Stoke, a new company founded by two expats living in Singapore. Forget hotdogs and chicken wings. Instead, Stoke’s gourmet BBQ parcels comes with premium cuts of meat from organic Australian lamb and beef, acorn-fed Spanish Pork Iberico and British pork sausage. Their parcels come in portions that feed 4, 8, 12 or more and they’ve also got appetizers like Iberico ham, pate and Manchego cheese. Their kickstarter campaign will start on Feb 23.

My Singapore Food
A site for our favorite local recipes
My Singapore Food (MSF) is a project by Karen Nah that aims to compile 50 family recipes of our favorite local dishes and turning them into easy-to-follow, tutorial style videos that will be available on the MSF site. Contributed by Singaporeans ranging from stay home moms to well-known chefs, they will also be adapted into cook books. In order for that to happen, their goal is to raise $30,000. Go here to support their cause. Bonus: if you pledge $100 or more, you’ll get a customized gula melaka mousse cake created by Chef Judy Koh of Creative Culinaire. Pledge above $10,000 and you’ll get to sit down for a private dinner with the famous Chef Eric Teo.
