Ya Hui is the creative director for production house Pointlineplane.She's spent 17 years in front of the camera, and now local actress Ya Hui is venturing into work behind the scenes too.
"Then slowly, I don't know how, we started to talk about this production house, and what it would be like if I wanted to join them, and what kind of position I would be in," she continued. "We had been talking about dreams and visions together, and somehow, we clicked." Ya Hui added that she was trained from the beginning to manage her own costumes and matters while on Mediacorp shoots, and it helped prepare for a behind-the-scenes role.
"Now I have the chance to fulfil my dream, and I think it's going to be amazing if I can work towards that," she said. "At the same time, I would really love to direct for government campaigns, but the company is very new and they need companies with track records to do it. "Because, actually, when I left Mediacorp, for the first few months, it wasn't sunshine and rainbows every day," she said. "People thought, 'Hey, you have a new life', but every transition someone has to go through is difficult at the start."
"Acting is always my number one, it cannot be replaced," she said, joking that if a suitable role happened to come along, she would simply say "bye bye" to Pointlineplane and leave for it.Now that she has experienced what it's like to be a director, it's something Ya Hui will take back to the film set when she embarks on her next acting project.
