January:

While COVID-19 pandemic rages, we safely distance ourselves and continue to pre-pro for a couple of major documentaries. In the mean time we are consolidating our videos and uploading them onto social media sites and our YouTube channel. Work in progress.

Route Awakening Season 5 has won a Gold Remi at Worldfest Houston. 

Currently producing a one-off documentary on an “edgy” history of Singapore and pre-proing a series on high-jinx island activities for NGC.

Belly of a Nation 2

It is a difficult year for everyone, but the hardest hit are people in the F&B industry. The second season of Belly of a Nation premiers October 10, 2020. The series began pre-production in early 2020, but as Covid-19 took hold, delays to production due to lockdowns began to creep up on our schedule. On the flip side, the “circuit-breaker” style of lockdown created some drama to the lives of the hawkers profiled in this season.  Their big question of survival now becomes more critical and in the aftermath of the circuit breaker, some of them have to make major decisions, whether to continue or to call it a day. The 4x 1 hr episode series, shot with single camera and over 9 months of 2020, observes the lives, trials of Singapore hawkers as they navigate the trying times of the year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&feature=youtu.be&v=wPwvcI8jZ5U
