Production
Director Cheng Ding An and Zhou Chong Qing met in 2008 during the promotion of Kallang Roar the movie. The two instantly found a spark, and had been actively on the lookout for an opportunity where the two can come together to create an innovative new project. After numerous coffees, it struck upon them to construct a brave new wave of terror that came from the stories of a Radio DJ. After a strenuous few months of research and drafting tonnes of story drafts by the director’s company Merelion Pictures, the story of Ghost on Air was finally ready. The film went into principal photography in December 2011 and was completed by the start of January 2012. It cost about 1 million in budget.
