NOT MY MOTHER'S BAKING
Sarah has always been in the shadow of her mother, Celebrity Chef Siti. When she tries to make her mark in the baking industry, she is unexpectedly caught between two men yearning for her affections. Imran is the perfect gentleman any Malay-Muslim parents would approve for their daughter, while Edwin is an earnest Chinese vlogger who, as Sarah's brother blatantly declares, isn't 'halal'! To complicate matters, Edwin comes from a Taoist family that runs a popular roast pork hawker stall. And being the filial son, he is expected to marry a Chinese girl and take over the family business. Will Sarah be able to navigate through their differences? Or will she succumb to family and societal expectations?

AWARDS
WINNER
Religions Through Women's Eyes Award
This film through images full of colours, joy and beauty tells a theme whose outcome in reality can be heavy, gloomy and dramatically Shakespearean. Through this narrative, the taboo of multi-cultural and religious unions is demolished which, in many social contexts, is still insurmountable. This is a radical break with traditional habits, showing that women can self-determine and choose their future unlike what happens with arranged marriages. This message is revolutionary because, by spreading it in an environment such as that present in Singapore, it can reach and constructively influence thousands of people - 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐨
