Abstract
“Sisters” is a story that revolves around a current sex worker and an ex-sex worker. It
explores the intricacies of their interdependent relationship with each other. Based
largely on real-life events – a huge part of the scriptwriter’s research and fieldwork
– “Sisters” aims to let the audience have a glimpse of Orchard Tower’s sex work
industry and the problems sex workers face through the eyes of these two sisters,
albeit non-biological. Along with their interactions with the people around them,
when crisis strikes this pair of women and forces them to face the very elements
that have turned them both in and out of this industry—will they be able to turn this
crisis around to their advantage?

Abstract
Socially awkward and frumpy Charlotte Najera is often overlooked when she is
standing next to her pretty and successful best friend Fiona Wright. Working at
BookEnds, a small but successful bookstore owned by an almost reclusive older man,
Patrick, allows Charlotte to fade away into the woodwork and avoid embarrassing
social situations. Spending all her day at work means Charlotte hears Patrick’s
stories about Arcadis over and over again, a tale Charlotte writes off as fictional
until the day she walks through a mysterious door at the bookstore and ends up
stranded in another world.

Abstract
20-Somethings is a show about six friends who are at vastly different stages of their
lives, even though they are all twenty-something. Ken and Jaime are navigating the
tricky path of marriage and parenthood. Ken’s goofy brand of love constantly clashes
with Jaime’s tough-love approach, and it’s driving her crazy though they love each
other deeply. Derek is a prodigious lawyer coming to grips with establishing himself
in a field where academic success does not necessarily get one to the top. Yam is a
cynic pursuing a childhood dream of stardom, while Arnesh is an adult that still sees
the world through a kid’s overprotected eyes. Jason is the only one acting his age,
as his predominant concerns are getting laid or wasted, preferably both.
