24 HRS SHORT-FILM CONTEST 2026 - SINGAPORE by SG FILM CLUB

The short film "UNDER THE CARPET" was made for the 24 Hrs Short-Film Contest 2026 by Singapore Film Club. In a high-energy race against the clock, Arvin participated in the SG Film Club 24-Hour Short Film Challenge—taking a project from blank page to finished cut in just one day.

Faced with a strict 24-hour deadline, Arvin contributed across the full production pipeline, including story development, screenplay writing, direct on-set shooting, and post-production editing. The experience was a masterclass in fast-paced storytelling and rapid execution, proving that tight constraints can yield tangible, high-impact creative outcomes.

The world ended on an ordinary afternoon.

One moment Aaron was just a teenager with a backpack and a restless mind. The next, the streets were silent and something was very, very wrong.

He isn’t alone. There’s Charlie, who jokes when he should run. There’s Willow, sharper than anyone gives her credit for. And there’s Max — a German Shepherd puppy who follows Aaron into danger he can’t begin to understand.

Together they’ll cross a world that shouldn’t exist and outrun things that shouldn’t move — and learn that survival isn’t about being the strongest. It’s about who you refuse to leave behind.

But the deeper they go, the more Aaron suspects this nightmare isn’t what it seems. And the truth waiting at the end will change everything.

Dawn of Nightmares is the explosive chapter in the TNT: Teens & Tales series — a fast-paced adventure about courage, friendship, and the moment you stop running and start fighting back.

Teams are challenged to research a specific real-world problem and design, build, and program an autonomous LEGO® robot to conquer complex mission tasks on a

competitive playing field.

Arvin’s journey in the league is highlighted by an incredibly impressive debut in the 2025 FLL tournament. Defying the odds as an underdog duo, Arvin and his sole teammate went up against much larger, fully-staffed teams and walked away with the highly selective Best Newcomer Award. Building on that momentum, he returned for the
