Wet markets are an integral part of Singaporeans’ national identity. What makes seemingly mundane grocery shopping venues and experiences so important to Singapore's social space? The Wet, the Wild and the Wondrous takes a granular look at the aspects of wet markets – architectural, sociological, economic – that make up its unique character. This documentary short is a multi-sensory experience, exposing the hidden communities and social dynamics within wet markets. This report provides a chronological account of the process of making our film, from conceptualisation to production and post-production. The report also sheds light on the decisions we made, challenges we faced, and lessons we learnt along the way.
