“Repossession“, co-director/writers Goh Ming Siu and Scott C. Hillyard’s subtle, topical story of one man’s inexorable psychological collapse at the hands of market forces, will screen at six film festivals during the close of this Northern Hemisphere summer into fall, commencing with its Southern California premiere at the prestigious Dances With Films festival, unspooling August 28 and 31 online in Los Angeles, and concluding (for now) its Fall festival run October 23 at the Chicago Southland International Film Festival.
While the film sits astride psychotronic genres, its real horror, according to Singapore’s Sinema News, “…ironically – mainly comes in the form of the societal realities of cut-throat Singapore.” On this Covid-19 tainted planet, “Repossession”‘s characters’ surprisingly swift downward journeys could mirror that of many others’ worldwide.
In “Repossession,” 50-year-old Jim loses his high-flying job in status-conscious Singapore, but his ego and pride compel him to hide this from his wife and daughter.

Goh Ming Siu is a seasoned TV writer and director with dozens of credits to his name in his own country of Singapore. “Repossession”, a film whose ambiguity in the title is its finest asset, is his feature debut. The film premiered at Cinequest Film Festival and we were able to catch it at Five Flavours Film Festival.
“Repossession” is screening at Five Flavours Asian Film Festival:
When we meet our protagonist, the middle-aged executive Jim, one might argue that his life is about to fall into a downward spiral. After decades of career, he is being fired from work. Or, more precisely, asked to leave because it would look better in his resume. Jim, however, is used to a bourgeois life style (hence his apartment and car) and is too much of an ego-maniac to come clean to his wife Linda (Amy Cheng of “Crazy Rich Asians” fame), his daughter and his friends,...
