Sgapore Gay BL Web Drama “GETAWAY”. Apart om Pri Month happeng June, Sgapore’s LGBTQ+ muny has one more thg to look forward to ‒ our Ltle Red Dot’s first gay BL web drama GETAWAY.

While BL dramas tend to ter to a heterosexual female dience, GETAWAY differs om others by tailorg to a gay dience. Unr the directn of gay director Ark Saroj, the team took 6 months to produce the web drama.

I MA SGAPORE’S FIRST GAY BL WEB DRAMA SERI. HERE’S HOW I DID IT.

Sgapore’s First Gay BL Web Drama Is Somethg The LGBTQ+ Communy Will Look Forward To.

In the midst of an unrelated nversatn, I randomly asked Snooker, an alumni of the h gay drama seri ‘Gay Ok Bangkok’, if he miss actg. But that was the night which solidified my sire to produce Sgapore’s first gay BL web drama seri. BL, short for Boys Love, has bee an umbrella term for any Asian drama centerg on a gay love story.

In many parts of Asia where LGBTQ+ rights are lackg, BL dramas have emerged as the primary form of gay media reprentatn.

Sgapore unfortunately, still do not have a gay BL drama seri to ll our own. One of the most viral stori I’ve ever told was on Faliqh and Kaal, a gay Malay uple Sgapore. As impactful as they have been, they don’t tug at the heartstrgs the same way that a gay BL drama seri do.

Producg a gay drama seri has been on my bucket list for the longt time. As extensive as Jam’ portfol was, he had never worked on a gay drama before. The Siam was unr the helm of General Manager Nick Downg, whom I had cintally told about my sire to make a gay drama seri over a sual lunch one year ago.

Neher of uld have predicted that we would be workg together on a gay BL drama seri one year later. Another anisatn that I managed to get on board as a supportg partner was, a programme wh AFA (Actn For AIDs) that provis sexual health-related servic to the gay and MSM muny Sgapore.

Was actually the anisatn that produced ‘People Like Us’, Sgapore’s first gay web drama seri. Jog the e were 2Eros, Supawear, Ette Tea and FabuloMe, pennt bs that are all owned by gay entreprenrs. The entreprenrs all unrstood the importance of gay media reprentatn Asia.

Wh the fundraisg procs plete, I was now a posn to actually produce a gay BL drama seri. As popular as gay BL dramas have bee, they have also e unr heavy cricism recent years.

The loust cricism agast BL dramas is that they ph a harmful gay stereotype. BL dramas typilly nta homophobic unrton, and gay men are often portrayed as predators.

Scen of the gay protagonist takg advantage of his dnk or unnsc love tert have bee monplace wh the genre.

Another mon cricism of gay BL dramas is that while they pos to reprent the gay muny, they do ltle to reprent the gay experience. ‘Getaway’ featur scen gay spac such as a gay club.

No longer nfed to a school yard settg, creators are creasgly phg the envelope of what qualifi as a gay BL drama. ‘Getaway’ sets self apart om other gay dramas by featurg an openly queer st. Siarly, ‘GETAWAY’ sets self apart om other BL dramas by tailorg towards a gay dience.

Based on an origal story om myself, ‘GETAWAY’ featur an openly gay director alongsi an openly queer st om Sgapore and Thailand. After his g out to his nservative father go horribly wrong, Sam jets off to Bangkok search of his exiled gay uncle for guidance, who was siarly disowned for beg gay many years ago. ‘GETAWAY’ may be Sgapore’s first gay BL web drama seri.
