SHORT FILM - GOING HOME

Nikko has never been a part of a horror short film and she finally has one under her belt with Sam Loh. The short film was shot in some obscure location along Lorong Halus, off old Tampines Road. The film includes vetran actress, Catherine Sng, Will Lawandi and many more.



Nikko plays the sexy ghost Ling as a femme fatale in MANDARIN! She delievers her lines with a deadpan expression and at the same time channeling the Megan Fox vibes. Does she succeed? You determine it when you catch the film.

SHORT FILMS - ARCADE FIRE

Nikko is always up for the challenge and continues to take up roles that are a little out of her comfort zone. Just to push the boundaries and test out her acting chops, she took on a ah-lian-cum-kawaii-pop-princess role in a film by NTU, Arcade Fire.

The storyline of Arcade Fire is about a newly wedded bride battles her inner fears on the night of the wedding dinner. The catch is that she must triumph furious flowergirls, angry altar boys, horrid HDB men, foul family members and bloodthirsty bridesmaids before she can battle the enigmatic Final Boss. Helping her on this whirlwind quest is a secret character who might be more foe than friend.





Nikko's character is the Final Boss, the Admin and as they say, pictures speak a thousand words. The imaging of the character was inspired by the cutesy cake shop, Icing Room. Asked if she'll ever doll up as such, and the reaction is NEVER AGAIN. The filming and being the character was a blast though.

Pictures credited to Shian Wen.

SHORT FILM - ICE CREAM

A team of professionals that Nikko has had the opportunity to work with over the course of her work approached her to be featured on a 3-minute short film for a short film competition over the weekend and Nikko agreed. In this silent film, the storyline is a simple story of a grandfather sharing ice-cream with his granddaughter and the ice-cream reminds him of his younger times with his wife. Nikko reenactment the scene of the grandfather with his young wife.




The team comprised of individuals who are the industry's leaders in their rights be it sound, camera, and lighting. These freelancers and have been around for the past 10 over years and Nikko had the honour to be a part of this film.

SHORT FILMS - SECRETS & TABOOS

The second short film that Nikko was involved in during November was shot by a UK director, Naveen Varma as part of his student project. He firmly believes in the important message behind the film and has plans to put it on the film festival circuit and submit it in for competitions, starting with the Singapore Film Festival.

The short film that this girl was involved in aims to show a tasteful, realistic and compelling conflict between family ideals and sexuality in modern-day Singapore. Nikko took on the lead role as Amanda, a typical 18 year old college student who is worried how her parents will react to her confession that she is in love with another girl, Tara.

Do stay tuned for the short film which Nikko would upload on youtube really soon.

SHORT FILMS - MY DREAM

Nikko is not one who would sit idle and is a very pro-active individual who is working very hard to achieve her dream. She has been keeping busy shooting short films for the month of November and this film in particular really is a reflection of her being. She relates a great deal to the story and hope the performance would touch the hearts of those watching it.

The storyline revolves around a life of a teenage girl who wants to pursue her dream of learning languages, but is being harshly opposed by her mom who wants her to be a doctor to help out her uncle who has been paying for her education. It mainly touches on the issue that actually is happening in Asian families and about the problem parents and children face in nurturing relationship together.

Do stay tuned for the short film which Nikko would upload on youtube really soon.

SHORT FILMS - KILLING OF THE CHINESE TEACHER

If Nikko had an altered ego, i reckon she'll be similar to a certain degree like Rachel Lee, the character that Nikko plays in the "Killing of The Chinese Teacher".

in a nutshell, RACHEL LEE, 16, is attractive in a quirky way. Her face is not attention-grabbing but it’s distinctive and the kind that grows on you.She doesn’t grab attention but people usually like her when they get to know her.

Attractive or no? that's for you to decide, not i.



Nikko wishes Mabel & Andrew and their team the best and crosses her fingers. Stay tuned to watch the full trailer that is expected to be ready by early June.

Update on 11th June:
new photos are released, stay tuned for the final product.
