Summary: | An Ah Beng is a term typically given on Chinese males in Singapore who are loud, tattooed and seen as “hooligans”. TIA GONG is an intimate yet light-hearted documentary that charts the stories of two young men who have been labelled as Ah Bengs since they were young: restaurant owner and chef Jason Chua from Beng Who Cooks, and founder of Happy Children, Happy Future and student social worker Gary Lau. This report details the process that the documentary embarked on and highlights the approach, challenges and the individual reflections of the filmmakers.
