Viddsee Short Films Land on Lifetime Asia

A+E Networks’ Lifetime Asia has tied up with Singapore’s online entertainment platform Viddsee to curate and broadcast a weekly selection of locally made short films.

The Lifetime Original Movies offering will be expanded to include Viddsee’s curation of stories that celebrate the transformative experiences of modern-day women, made by up-and-coming film directors from Asia. The collaboration begins with Viddsee’s first original short film, Time, and other short stories, debuting on May 13 at 10:35 p.m. as part of a Mother’s Day special on Lifetime in 15 Asian territories. Additional short films will premiere as part of the Lifetime Original Movies programming next month.

Prem Kamath, the deputy managing director of A+E Networks Asia, said: “We are proud to partner with Viddsee, who supports our mission to lead entertainment through female-centric storytelling. We share a unified vision to showcase Asia’s up-and-coming filmmakers through their stories by making them accessible through our network and it is part of our content strategy to deliver the best of original movie content—internationally and locally.”

Derek Tan, co-founder of Viddsee, added: “We are excited to work with A+E Networks Asia, a global media company that shares our passion for high-quality entertainment and stories. We have curated a collection of compelling local stories and talented voices that we’re honored to share with a regional and global audience. We hope to develop more opportunities for our community of content creators, as we have done with Time.”
