    2015

    National Youth Film Awards (NYFA)

    Best Performance

    Chasing Tomorrow

    Amber Lin

    Diploma in Drama, Class of 2014

    Graduated from LASALLE in 2014, Amber Lin is a freelance actor, drama educator, director and spoken work artist. She is also a self-proclaimed workaholic with a packed schedule. Her “free” time is spent going for casting calls and rehearsing.

    Amber was led to acting because of her desire to “want to be anyone and do anything”. As an actor, it was easy to get lost in the attention, but more than that, Amber wanted to make a social impact through the arts by influencing audiences to think differently.

    Her acting for the main lead in a short film, Chasing Tomorrow, caught the attention of the judges at the National Youth Film Awards 2015. It won her the coveted Best Performance Award. Since then, she has worked on various film, theatre and television projects.

    “Acting doesn’t mean pretending.” Amber said, “It means being present in the moment. We don’t judge the best actors on how good they can pretend, but we judge them on how real and truthful they are showing their emotions.”
