“When there are humans, there are errors. Less humans… less errors”. The fierce boss of a TV / Film production is briefing her frightened employees. Between a verbal abuse and a physical one, she explains the Company must be saved from bankruptcy at all costs, but to avoid human mistakes, she has ordered the innovative AI SANGW00 from the Korean HANGSANGW00 Corp. The robot-like computer will cover the role of director of a new revolutionary K-Drama, inspired and informed by the sea of data generated by all the previous existing Korean series.

Viddsee today debuts ‘AI Love K-Drama’, a five-part comedy series that centres around a failing studio who buys a state-of-the-art AI, nicknamed SANGW00, to write and direct the ultimate K-drama. Although its lead actress Tia Tan, thinks the whole idea is terrible, she goes along with it as a way to cope with a devastating failure from her past.
As the series unfolds, SANGW00 and Tia often end up clashing over their fundamental beliefs: Tia believes that her art comes from the heart, while SANGW00 trusts in algorithms and data. Eventually their difference of opinions causes the production to spiral into chaos, creating a
show unlike anything anyone has ever seen.
The series is produced by Viddsee Studios and Zhao Wei Films, and written by film producer Huang Junxiang together with playwright and improv-comedian Luke Somasundram. This is the first collaboration between Junxiang and Luke, who
both share a common love for social satire,...

It didn’t take long for the shorts programme that is part of the Singapore International Film Festival’s Singapore Panorama strand at the National Museum of Singapore on Nov. 27 to sell out. That is because the Singaporean audience is well aware that the best and brightest of filmmaking talent from the country cut their teeth in the format.
The programming, as always, is diverse. AFI Directing Workshop for Women graduate Tan Siyou’s “Hello Ahma” follows an eight-year-old who must adjust to a new life in America.
