Lawyer, film producer and L’Off Squad gal Tan Min-Li invites us into her resort of a home to tell us more about her latest movie Hotel Mumbai, and shares her secret to multitasking

Talk about being a Renaissance woman. A lawyer for the past 15 years, Tan Min-Li has somehow found the time to also produce films (she was an executive producer of 2015’s The Man Who Knew Infinity starring Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons); invest in restaurants, art, timepieces and champagne; and collaborated on a capsule collection with local accessories label Mad About Hue. “My work as a lawyer, my primary profession, affords me this,” she explains, adding that it is through the different people from different industries who have varied areas of interests that she is able to become intimately familiar with and understand the various projects she dabbles in. “I believe in seizing every opportunity to pursue passion. Although the projects that I’ve done are diverse, they are all united by the fact that they are all passions of mine,” says Min-Li. “We owe it to ourselves to explore our different facets – we shouldn’t be pigeonholed or be fit into a stereotype.” Our L’OffSquad gal finds time in her busy schedule to tell us more about her latest movie Hotel Mumbai, its leading man Dev Patel, and taking it to Cannes.

You’re an Executive Producer at Xeitgeist Entertainment. Tell us more about that role.
