Jacen Tan is an independent film director. Hailed as one of Singapore’s most exciting young filmmakers, his first short film, Tak Giu (Kick Ball), became a viral hit on the internet, with over 100,000 views, in pre-YouTube days. He then completed the “Zo” comedy trilogy: Zo Peng (Go Army), Zo Gang (Go Work) & Zo Hee (Make Movie), cemented by a DVD compilation of his short films (Hosaywood, 2011), shaping his popularity with a unique sense of local humor and use of slang. After 7 years in the making, Jacen combined his love for horror comedy and his experiences from serving in the army to make his first feature film, Zombiepura.
