9 Sep - Leading Singaporean actors Richie Koh and Hong Hui Fang, as well as director Ong Kuo Sin made their highly-anticipated debut appearance at the Osaka Asian Film Festival Expo 2025-OAFF 2026 on 7 September, celebrating the World Premiere of their latest feature film, "A Good Child".

Featured as the Closing Film of the 10-day film festival, "A Good Child" captivated a full house at the OAFF Main Venue, the ABC Hall in Osaka.

Sharing his excitement after the event, Richie said, "I am deeply humbled by the love and support from the audience in Osaka. Last night was my first interaction with Japanese audience and they were very warm and welcoming. I hope to come back again ASAP!"


Hong Hui Fang expressed, "I'm honoured to present the poignant Singaporean film "A Good Child" as the closing film of the Osaka Asian Film Festival Expo 2025-OAFF 2026, which also marks its World Premiere. I'm delighted to share this film with the Japanese audience and to take this opportunity to offer them a deeper understanding of Singapore's film and television culture."

Director Ong Guo Sin adds, "Thank you to the Osaka audience for their love and support for 'A Good Child'. We are deeply encouraged that this story, set in Singapore, could resonate so strongly with Japanese viewers and evoke such shared emotions of joy and sorrow. After the premiere, one audience member told us they saw our tenderness in the film - a comment that left a deep impression on me."

Written and directed by the acclaimed Ong Kuo Sin of "Reunion Dinner" fame, the film explores the poignant story of Jia Hao, a drag queen who returns home to care for his mother, Ju Hua, after years of estrangement. Ju Hua's dementia diagnosis forces Jia Hao to confront his past and, in an unexpected turn, take on the role of his mother's long-lost daughter.

This unconventional deception sets the stage for a transformative journey of healing, acceptance and self-discovery. The film is adapted from the life story of Christopher Lim, more commonly known for his drag alias - Sammi Zhen, a full-time drag queen in Singapore.

In addition to its Singapore release on 9 October, "A Good Child" will open in Taiwan and Hong Kong in early December.
