From Films to Experiences
Cinewav was started by two award winning filmmakers: Christian Lee and Jason Chan.
Of note they made the first Singapore Drama to be picked up by Netflix globally: Read more
Their first film, Jimami Tofu, won the audience choice for Best Narrative Film at HIFF and became the longest running film in Singapore cinemas prior to Covid lockdown.
Jason Chan and Christian Lee wrote, directed and produced the film including post-production and composition of all music within.
They now turn their storytelling abilities to creating large scale immersive experiences for audiences at scale.
Most projection mapping has minimal story due to the inability to scale audio. Now with Cinewav everyone can have clear, immersive and personalised audio no matter where they sit. With Cinewav you can scale your stories to thousands of people simultaneously.
Cinewav X: Voices of the Gardens
Cinewav X created Voices of the Gardens at the Singapore Botanic Gardens from the premise: What if trees could speak? What would they tell us?
The idea was to create a eco-friendly, large scale projection mapping experience with immersive audio.
Cinewav conceptualised, wrote and animated characters and projections onto the trees that told a 15min story with a narrative journey. Visitors were transported into the world of trees and learnt about the history of the gardens as well as the plight of nature. It was entertaining, touching and inspiring.

Cinewav: The Key to Unlocking Truly Immersive Large-Scale Experiences
Transform massive projections into intimate, narrative-driven journeys—without disturbing a soul nearby.
This August 2025, Cinewav created Whispers of an Island, an immersive quest experience that proved what synchronized, personalized audio can achieve at scale. Audiences climbed Fort Canning hill following a story that culminated in bespoke music and lyrics—all delivered through their own earbuds with crystal-clear fidelity.
The Cinewav Advantage:
- High-quality personalized audio synced perfectly with large-scale projections
- Zero noise pollution—Films at the Fort ran simultaneously next door with complete acoustic coexistence
- Deep narrative immersion that transforms spectators into engaged participants
- Long-form storytelling that holds attention from start to climactic finish
The testimonials at 2:40 say it all: when audiences receive cinema-quality audio directly in their ears, synchronized with stunning visuals, you don't just create an event—you craft an unforgettable experience.
We're expanding our app and web platform with powerful new features designed specifically for site-specific, large-scale content that truly moves audiences. Ready to unlock the full potential of your immersive installation? Contact us to discuss your project.
The Battlebox
Cinewav X worked with Fingertips to create the Enhanced Experience at The Battlebox, Singapore. Cinewav worked primarily on an immersive audio tour that chronicles the last days of the Japanese invasion of Singapore before the surrender by the British and allied forces.
We focused on creating a driving narrative that uses each room as a jumping off point to retell the fall of Singapore. This met both the need of the venue to direct people through the various tunnels and rooms and to reduce the reverberant noise in the bunker.
We strongly believe in narrative story that guides and creates context for the exhibits. Previously, visitors simply wandered through without guidance and were left to read text for the various installations and photos.
"The audio was excellent, really helpful and informative. Gave a good background to the events leading up to and following the British surrender. A bit horrifying really, how little world leaders have learned from our past. Thank you for providing this insight to history "
"An excellent tour that covers the history of Singapore, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. I’ll certainly be recommending this tour to my friends and colleagues as money well spent. Thank you. "
