In just four hours, tickets for the exclusive premiere of Oliver Stone’s W. sold out in Singapore. And with word that Stone would appear for a rare question-and-session with the public, fans flocked to the theatre on 14 April 2009.
 
Stone, who serves as the artistic director for New York University Tisch School of the Arts Asia, was in Singapore this week to teach writing and directing workshops for students at the school.
 
The presentation of W. was made possible by Stone and presented by Tisch School of the Arts Asia and the 22nd Singapore International Film Festival.
 
Special guests included Pari Sara Shirazi, Ph.D., president, Tisch School of the Arts Asia; Jasmine Ng, Tisch School of the Arts alumna and board of directors, Singapore International Film Festival; and Geoffrey Malone, founder Singapore International Film Festival. Katherine Lindberg, film professor, Tisch School of the Arts Asia, moderated the question-and-answer session.
