Blood Cages

Blood Cages is a juxtaposition of two plots set in distinctly different times-- China in the late 19th century and present day Singapore. The characters in both plots find themselves constantly trapped by family and culture and societal standard. In the end, we recognise that this bondage.. to our environment, to others, and to our own beliefs, is not exclusive to us, but part of a cycle we cannot escape from.

Identity

If we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope for advance. - Orville Wright

In the face of overwhelming pressure from society, friends, religion and family, Ray goes all out to hide is sexuality, inflicting upon himself pain and torment and putting himself through a seemingly endless dilemma — go through life with the mask of conformity, or stop all pressure and put an end to his guilt for his sexuality.

My Father is a Teacher

A disturbing story about a shy and sensitive boy and his relationship, or lack of it, with his father. A father who has twisted morals and a warped sense of social duty. It is about how Arthur comes to terms with his father, his father’s deeds, society and himself.
