| Q : How did you come up with the name "Traditional Turks"? |
|
A : I don't know, it just popped into my head. When i come up with titles or ideas, they don't just form from what i intend it to be, they just pop up in my head. That's the best i can explain it. |
| Q : How would you describe your story as? |
|
A : It's just a sitcom basically, about daily trivialities, people and their differences and what happens when we put them together. |
| Q : What inspired you to write this? |
|
A : Like i said, when an idea pops into my head, and I get all excited about it, I'd just expand on it, and develop it. I was just struck by a spark of inspiration.
|
| Q : What was your acting/scripting background like? |
|
A : Writing background, none, that was my first project/production. Acting background will be the minor plays that I've acted in, and I've written a small play for our school's Wednesday "Under the linkway" class production in Sec1. That's all. I love performing though.
|
| Q : Did you meet any difficulties while writing this play? |
|
A : Difficulties, well... none actually, but i stopped after the 1st episode because I thought there was no need to carry on since I won't be screening it. Sitcoms NEVER end. Some people said that my sitcom was cheesy and cliche, so, maybe it's not my piece of cake.
|
| Q : How long did this take you? |
|
A : I wrote part of it during the O' Levels exams (end of Year 10 examinations) and then I stopped because there was the December holiday and I didn't want to touch paper or pens after the exams. After that in Secondary School I was invited to my friend's debut production/play called "Discomfort" in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, and I was inspired again to complete the sitcom.
|
| Q : Okay, we are reaching the end. Any last words? |
|
A : Nothing much to say, I guess I just love performing and thinking about people perform, choreographing, creating images of the stage and how I'd make it come alive. That's what I do most of the time when I daydream. What did I think of the sitcom? I think..... I think it could have been better. |
