HI,
I'M SAM CHUA WEISHI!

I am a film producer

born and based in Singapore.

I have produced short films, music videos and commercials,

and sometimes also production manage, and act / model.

I'm now head of production at Potocol.

Producing works

I was first introduced to the world of filmmaking on an exchange programme at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 2017.

Since then, I've been fortunate to work with many inspiring, talented creatives, and was able to be a better producer by training at EAVE's Ties That Bind, Rotterdam Lab, Busan Asian Film School, and Full Circle Lab Philippines.

I'm now head of production at Singapore-based production company Potocol.

Other work in Production

Because I genuinely enjoy being on set, and I'm always up for a challenge, I sometimes take up jobs in the Production team.

(As of 2025, I'm trying to build a more sustainable cinema scene in Singapore so I no longer do this, but I'm happy to connect you with other amazing people in production!)
