Singaporean entertainer Michelle Chong on Friday clinched an award at this year's Canada International Film Festival held in Vancouver.
Best known for her multi-faceted personas made popular by Channel 5 comedy sketch The Noose, Chong won the award for Best Director for her third and latest feature film, "Lulu the Movie".
