ADK Connect has collaborated with the Ministry of Communications and Information to launch a new film titled ‘Call Me Steady’, aimed at spreading laughter and nostalgia this Lunar New Year.
Created by ADK Connect and directed by renowned Singaporean filmmaker, Royston Tan. The film also features a power-packed cast with Goh Guat Kian, winner of Best Actress at The Straits Times Life Theatre Awards 2019, playing the lead character, ‘Aunty Steady’ and Huang Qing Yuan, a Singaporean singing from the 60’s, assuming the role of himself, as well as Aunty Steady’s husband.
Set in midst of last year’s nationwide circuit breaker, the story follows ‘Aunty Steady’ as her kaypoh character takes the audiences through her daily interactions with her neighbours. The film depicts the key challenges that each family encountered – whether if it’s losing a job, being away from family, frontline workers risking their lives to keep the nation running. Each sub-story focused on the spirit of resilience and emphasised on how family and community support are critical during this unprecedented time.
