Happy Monday!

We are still reeling from last week's Disney+ magic launch in Singapore, so today we speak to our friend Roger Lee, who is currently based in Los Angeles, California.

Few Singaporeans can lay claim to lifting one of the most coveted trophies in the filmmaking world — the Oscar. Singaporean Roger Lee, an award-winning Lighting and Compositing Artist at the Walt Disney Animation Studio, counts himself lucky for belonging to this exclusive club. Read about his journey as he shares his experience working on some of Disney’s biggest hits such as “Zootopia” and “Frozen”!

Have a great rest of the week everyone!
