The Fire Fight bassist, heart-breaker and personal friend of mine, Joshua ‘JBarks’ Tan is going to Cannes for the prestigious annual film festival. No, he’s not going there with his band to perform, but instead, he’s going there as the lead actor of a locally produced and International Critics’ Week selected film, “Sand Castle”. What makes it even sweeter is that this is Joshua’s first acting debut too!

The film, directed by the talented, Boo Junfeng (Keluar Baris, Tanjong Rhu) is a story about 18-year old En (Joshua Tan)’s struggles as he discovers himself through the difficult periods of his growing up years.

I’m not going to write a lot here, instead I’m just gonna direct you guys to the trailer below as well as the various news articles about the film at the end of this page.

Now doesn’t that make you proud that our own local rockstar is making waves.
