Since '95, Lionel's filmmaking expertise has seen him writing, producing, directing and even editing - a wide range of programs and commercials for TV as well as theatre.

Starting in dramas and sitcoms, he has worked on local favourite shows on then Television Corporation of Singapore (TCS) Channel 8. His other local TV production credits for the station ranged from lifestyle magazine varieties to documentaries.

Besides being involved with production work in his day job, Lionel's fervent passion in film has also seen him taking up a personal documentary - "Geraldene" which premiered as an official selection in the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival in 2001. In addition, he has also written and directed 4 other short films.

Recently, after completing an Intensive Directing Workshop at New York University (and witnessing the Sept 11 attacks in New York), he decided to do more... and expanded his portfolio to theatre.

To add to the list of projects on hand, his biggest project so far is the Telemovie - "Dirty Laundry" - which he has written and was shot on Hi-Definition video.
