Campaign Story
OVERVIEW
During an en bloc, where an estranged mother and son decide what belongings of the deceased father’s to bring to the new house.
INTRODUCTION
Hi there! We are a group of final year students from Nanyang Technological University, School of Art, Design and Media (NTU ADM) looking to fund our thesis film - The Pieces We Keep. We would sincerely appreciate any form of contribution and support that will help our film become a reality.
ABOUT THE FILM
Following the sudden death of the father, Chee Kiat, from a car accident two years ago, the mother, Seok Hwa, and son, Malcom, have grown to be estranged from each other. As a carpenter, Chee Kiat left many of his tools, materials and carpenting works behind.
Nearing the end of the en bloc process, Seok Hwa and Malcom have to evacuate the building. However, Malcom is reluctant, and slows down the moving process.
Seok Hwa and Malcom dispute over which of Chee Kiat’s belongings they want to bring to the new house. In the process, they finally reveal the years of grudges they held against each other and start to let them go.
WHY WE WANT TO MAKE THIS FILM
In our Singapore society, there is a huge emphasis on the family unit, be it in terms of holidays, policies, societal expectations of an ideal family.
These societal expectations to be an ideal family imposes pressure on the family members. However, how often do we question our own expectations of each other as family members?
Typically, parents set the expectations of how the family should behave, both inside and outside of the house, and children are expected to just follow that.
Rather than letting society or parents define what a family should be, would it not be more ideal if all members of the family were to be involved in setting expectations of each other.
Hopefully, more families would be open to discussing what each member expects of each other, as equals.
