The Hollow: Strings of Heritage The Hollow: Strings of Heritage

The Hollow: Strings of Heritage

Cheryl is a talented flautist and a dedicated dental PhD student. She moves between two worlds—her vibrant, independent
life in modern Australia and the quiet, tradition-bound expectations of her Chinese immigrant family.
On stage, she shines with confidence; at work, she is calm and precise; yet at home, conversations are brief, emotions are
restrained, and achievements are spoken of more than feelings.
In English, she connects easily with friends; in Mandarin, she faces the silent weight of expectation. Through music—a universal language that bridges cultures, heals distance, and allows her to reclaim her voice.

I Wish I Were Pretty

‘I Wish I Were Pretty’ explores how Korean beauty standards affect our protagonist’s ability to love herself.
Areum (“beautiful” in Korean) is monolidded and, therefore, “average”. Which is fine - she’s always managed to deal with being compared to her gorgeous best friend, Jane (as in plain Jane).
But when a man humiliates Areum in front of Jane, Areum has to finally face this long-festering wound or let it control her forever.

The Gliwensbourg Chronicles - Season 1

Winter 1915, Northern France, a French trench is shelled and all the soldiers are buried, leaving only one survivor. Underground, he manages to crawl out into a hole leading to a tunnel. There begins a journey that takes our soldier to the mysterious village of Gliwensbourg in 1925...

The soldier arrives, amnesiac, in the middle of a booty hunt between clans living reclusively in the marshes, a marsh that has been plagued by a curse for a decade. The loot hidden in a mine during the war is their ticket out, but the threatening presence of mysterious creatures makes underground expeditions perilous...

As one problem never comes alone, an agent of the State arrives in Gliwensbourg to shed light on the County's finances in the midst of a national policy of economic recovery. The noose is tightening around these unsociable people. Lala, the Elder and Shaman of the 'melons' community, warns the soldier about this announced agent of the State whose fate is linked to his own. He absolutely must find out what mission the Djinns have entrusted him with, and the clock is ticking...
