Kelvin Sng (born April 28 1974) is a Singaporean film director.
Kelvin completed his Advanced Diploma in Film Production (Directing) at Ngee Ann Polytechnic after receiving the Media Education Scheme Award from the Media Development Authority (MDA) of Singapore in 2004. His 2005 short film "More Than Words", a tribute to the late Asian songstress Teresa Teng, has been officially invited to be screened and compete at international film festivals around the world including France, Italy, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Romania and Africa. In 2006, Kelvin was awarded the Script Development Grant by the Singapore Film Commission to develop "More Than Words" into a feature film screenplay. That same year, his thesis film "Kichiro" premiered at the Beijing Film Academy at the 5th International Student Film and Video Festival to a crowd of more than 1000.
In 2010, Kelvin wrote, produced and directed "The Gang", a 32-minute mini feature, which is currently being developed into a full-length feature film. “The Gang” premiered at The Grand Cathay to great reviews and enjoyed a successful one-month run at Sinema Old School. It was also screened at various film festivals including “Sinema Showoff! The Fortune Cookie Collection” where it was the curator’s pick, as well as the 4th La Cabina International Medium Length Film Festival of Valencia in Spain, where it was one of the official selections together with 14 other films out of a few hundred entries around the world.
Kelvin’s experience as a former teacher and Head of Department (HOD) with the Ministry of Education has also shaped his desire to be a lifelong educator. This eventually led him to become a much sought-after trainer in various film, video and media programmes, having trained students and teachers in more than 100 schools and institutions to date. Together with his pool of trainers who are also industry practitioners, they serve as a bridge between the film/media industry and schools with relevant and practical knowledge, inspiring new blood to enter the industry and contribute to its growth.
