‘#LookAtMe,’ Film Denied Exhibition in Singapore, Lands U.S. Distribution with Buffalo 8 (EXCLUSIVE)


Ken Kwek's acclaimed Singaporean film "#LookAtMe" has secured North American distribution with Buffalo 8.

The film is a tragicomedy following the family of a teenage YouTuber who posts an irreverent video lampooning a megachurch pastor in defense of his gay twin brother. But it could not be screened as it was denied a classification rating by the country’s film censors on the grounds that it allegedly denigrates a religious community. The film features a Singaporean and Malaysian cast including lead actor Yao (as the twin brothers), Pam Oei, Janice Koh and Adrian Pang.
