Dai Bao - Still from the Loner's Trilogy by Chang Kang Yee.

A humorous and melancholic series of portraits of young people struggling with loneliness and searching for affection in modern day Singapore. Composed by three quirky and twisty short episodes (Good Time, Dai Bao and Peter Ho), The Loner's Triology show everyday life through the eyes of a number of characters who, although somehow stuck or lost, are all still looking for that special something that is missing in their own lives.

Directed by Chang Kang Yee, winner of the prestigious Asian Best Young Director Award in 2008 and frontman of TypeWriter, an acclaimed indie-rock band in Singapore.
