HBO Asia's latest TV series Invisible Stories is the complete opposite of Crazy Rich Asians.
The 6-episode drama series will shine a light on the lives of everyday people living in HDB estates - their joys, struggles, and sacrifices.
Each episode will follow one person from the same HDB block as he or she navigates through everyday life and its challenges.
The first episode follows the lives of a single mother and her autistic son played respectively by Golden Horse Award winner Yeo Yann Yann and Taiwanese newcomer Devin Pan.
The episode will world premiere at the 2019 Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival in the “Shorts: Beyond the Edge” section on 16 November.
The second episode stars veteran Singapore actor Wang Yu Qing who plays a taxi driver by day and a spiritual medium by night.
Both episodes will be presented in the Singapore Panorama section at SGIFF, which spotlights Singapore’s dynamic filmmakers and their stories that reflect the realities of contemporary society.
The series is created by Singaporean director Ler Jiyuan, who lives in an HDB flat, with a team of local writers and features a regional cast from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore.
Invisible Stories is scheduled to premiere in early 2020 on HBO Asia's on-air, online and on-demand platforms.
