Singapore’s first scripted collaboration with Japan’s NHK has begun its production 🇸🇬🇯🇵
Mocha Chai Lab (MCL) and (EOA) join forces with Japan’s public media organisation and production house TV Man Union (TVU) to create “Lost and Found”.
“Lost and Found” takes the classic boy meets girl story and adds a twist, as our protagonist, Richie (played by Shawn Thia), teams up with Yuka (played by Anna Yamada) to find his missing online girlfriend, Sakura, in Japan after she has seemingly vanished from the face of the earth.
Supported by through the International Co-production Grant, this 6 episode series is based off true events, where young people who struggle with daily life in modern day Tokyo choose to deliberately disappear and completely vanish (also known as ‘johatsu’).
MCL will be leading the production in Singapore. It’s all hands on deck with Director Chai Yee Wei, Executive Producer Michelle Chang, Assistant Producer Anthony Eu, Post Producer Chia Choong Kai, and MCL’s sound and colour team! 🎬 🙌
