This is a short story of a taxi driver uncle and his tipsy girlfriend from China, heading for the local "mama shop"; thereafter giving the mama a difficult time and making a mess of his place.
"Mama shops" are the little Indian neighbourhood convenient stalls commonly found in Singapore. "Mama" means 'uncle' in Tamil.
This is a fun 4-minute video, directed by Dylan Tan and Caleb Lee as the DP.
The shop has character, complete with real Indian flower garlands. Nothing there were film props! :)
As luck had it, while we were filming, there was another show going on nearby - a getai - a street concert staged during the Chinese Seventh Month Hungry Ghost Festival. Isn't the cultural diversity wonderful in Singapore? :)
Capturing clean sound was hell though!
