Actors Rui En and Lawrence Wong make directorial debuts in support of shelter dogs

Homebound will premiere at a ticketed charity screening on Oct 30, and will be available for viewing on SOSD’s website at a later date.

It is a star-studded project. Not only does it have veteran Daniel Yun (I Not Stupid, 881, The Maid) as its executive producer, it also has a cast of acting heavyweights including Yeo Yann Yann, Andie Chen, Ya Hui, Lin Meijao, Oon Shu An, Shabir and Remesh Panicker.

The idea originated with Yun at SOSD’s charity gala held last year, when SOSD president Siew Tuck Wah shared a moving story about his dog, Bacon. “I realised our Singapore Specials, our street dogs, are not top-of-mind, and may be misunderstood. Gathering filmmakers to shine a light on their stories is something I can do and, with the right directors, do well,” Yun said.
