Anthony Chen-Produced Malaysian Drama Explores Identity Through Tiger Mascot

Anthony Chen is producing the Malaysian drama 'Somewhere in the South' with Tan Ce Ding and others at Giraffe Pictures.
Somewhere in the South explores identity through a small-town by-election and a tiger mascot role.
The project is among 17 in-development titles at HAF seeking international partnerships.
The production aims to broaden international reach beyond a single market.
Tan Ce Ding's feature is filmed in multiple languages including Mandarin, Malaysian Cantonese, English and Malay.
Chen highlights the collaboration as a long-time coming with CD and Edward Lim.
Tan Ce Ding explains the film centers on margins of a system and the pull of fleeting attention in a by-election.
The director discusses how the mascot role tests identity and power for the protagonist Boon.
Chen notes the project aims to connect with audiences beyond the region through international collaboration.
The film marks Chen’s latest producing venture since the Berlinale title 'We Are All Strangers.'
