Move Out Notice is a breezy comedy
regarding the differences and miscommunication between parent and child. This
film comes from one of Viddsee's latest selections under its recently-launched Singapore Film Channel, which is an online site
that curates and distributes video content.
Director Leon Cheo, who recently won Best
TV Short Drama for his webseries ‘People Like Us’, directs this short which builds
momentum quickly by playing on the fears of many parents – the inevitable
maturation and departure of their child from home to become a fully realized
adult. On the flip side it also
highlights the difficulties of being your own person in a confined environment
living with a parent.
The film is a light, comical and somewhat insightful short of modern Singaporeans’ living frustrations though it doesn’t have any real answers for the real world and becomes distracted by a convenient subplot of a missing father and slapstick sequences.

Overall however the 13-minute short film is
still a quick dose of fun with clear local flavor. So if you are looking for
less serious art fare, click on this film over at Viddsee.
