Gopal has been in the media business since the age of sixteen. Even at that age, he is no stranger to large scale audio-visual shows. But his true passion lies in telling stories.

Having completed his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Film & TV at Queensland University of Technology, Gopal continued in diverse roles, producing, directing and editing.

He has also secured numerous nominations and accolades for his short films such as Status Quo, Flash Back and Fragile Little Mind.

Highly talented and multi dimensional, Gopal returned to Singapore in 2008. As a creative manager he was responsible for the design (immersion journey) and implementation (system integration) of several high profile projects, some of which included the Marina Barrage and Universal Studios Singapore.

Joining Rice Barn in late 2009 as creative director, Gopal takes the lead in crafting compelling stories.

His experience and creative zest, client orientation and friendly personality ensure that all projects are part of a pleasant and fulfilling journey.

Mui Hoon graduated with a Diploma in Manufacturing Engineering in 2000 and started her career with Kumagai Gumi Co., Ltd as a HR executive. A believer in lifelong learning, she went on to attain an Advance Diploma In Human Resource Management and a Bachelor Degree In Computer Science With Business.

Through her years working in large multinational corporations, she honed her skills in interpersonal communication as well as organisational planning and development.

While at Nissan Asia Pacific, she was involved in several video projects. That sparked her interest and she went on a one year sabbatical and graduated with a Diploma in Digital Filmmaking.

With a stanch belief that she can write her own destiny, she turned her back on her professional qualifications and pursued her interest in moving visuals.

An integral part of Rice Barn, she firmly believes that everything must be well planned and organised. To that end, she managed and delivered seven film projects concurrently for the Singapore Airshow 2012.

The seven films went live at Singapore Airshow 2012 on February 14, smiles all around.

Multi-talented, Mui Hoon also writes, directs and edits.

In a short 10-year span since he graduated with a Bachelor of Communication Studies from the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, Yew Chung has worked with a diverse range of clients that include multinationals like IBM, Shell, HP; as well as the local companies and agencies like SembCorp, IDA, SPF, MTI and Mediacorp.

As a producer, he is consistently dedicated to getting a job done – but as a creative individual, he is even more obsessed with searching for the best ideas, the right idea – to tell a good story.

Recognising that budget constraints can often hinder creativity, Yew Chung is always looking out for new ways to add value. 

“You can’t put a price to an idea. It can happen overnight, or it can take years to develop. But the right idea will strike right into the heart of your target audience. If you can find it, it will be the most powerful tool that you can have to deliver your message. It can make all the difference in the world.”

It is also for this reason that Yew Chung has never believed in the perfect idea – only the right idea, the best idea that time allow.

Of course it also depends on market positioning, being sensitive to client’s needs, and finding the right image for a client’s products or services.

And these are just some of the qualities and outlook that have coloured Yew Chung’s working philosophy.

Suzy Ann Yeo is a fervent patron for creativity, arts and culture. Since the tender age of five, she has been exposed to different forms of dance, music and literature. She strongly believes that a good artistic piece is borderless and art is a universal language.

She started her career as a model/talent scout and casting manager. Over the years Suzy developed an indispensible skill that meets artistic integrity while keeping reality in check.

Her passion and dedication landed her many admirable contracts, including the recent feature film Dance of the Dragon, starring Jason Scott Lee and Korean superstar Jang Hyuk.

With her wide and far-reaching network, she always ensures the effective execution of projects that exceeds client's expectation.
