EP5 Talking with Director Jiyuan Ler - Part 1 of 2 - a podcast by Gavin Lim

Episode 5, folks! So far Guoshen & Glenn are personal friends but this episode we have a director I don’t really have too much interaction with before this. We know each other in many ‘Hi, Bye’ flybys and I did work with his wonderful actress wife, Wendy Toh in ‘Diamond Dogs’. In this episode we talked about his uber awesome ‘Invisible Stories’ before it premiered on HBO. ( And actually this podcast is so timely coz HBO is streaming ‘Invisible Stories’ for FREE now for CCB. If there’s only one series to Binge- you owe it to yourself to watch this one- Also don’t forget to catch my latest short ‘The Last Song’ on ANDIE CHEN’s Youtube Channel - haha shameless plug . WARNING- SALTY LANGUAGE.
