Leon Cheo (BFA\/CRPR \u201910) was excited when he was approached by Action for AIDS in Singapore to create a show about gay life in his country, where homosexuality is illegal, \u201cbecause I\u2019m gay and it touches on so many aspects of my life,\u201d he says. A graduate of Chapman\u2019s Creative Producing program in Singapore, Cheo partnered fellow Chapman alumna Jen Nee Lim (BFA\/CRPR \u201910) to create a web series, People Like Us. \u201cWho else but your classmates do you reach out to when you need help,\u201d Cheo says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wrote the script based on my own experiences with coming out, dating, dealing with STI\u2019s, funny dating stories, and dating horror stories,\u201d says Cheo of the series, which has just been renewed for a second season. For Lim, it was the challenge of doing something different, and of \u201cbeing able to go into Singapore as a gay man,\u201d a world, as a woman, she didn\u2019t know. \u201cFilmmaking is always about going into a world unknown, which is the exciting part for me,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an interesting project that has not been done in Singapore before,\u201d she says. Although homosexuality is technically illegal, the law is not generally enforced. Nevertheless, members of the gay community do not enjoy anti-discrimination protections. Yet the desire for representation exists, which led to the AIDS group approaching Cheo.<\/p>\n

Cheo and Lim continue to push for the series and the health and rights of the LGBT community. The series, which focuses on the lives of four male characters and how they intersect through emotion,
\nsafe sex, and social acceptance, has won numerous festival awards and is featured on the GayHealth.sg website at http:\/\/www.gayhealth.sg\/plu\/<\/a>. Production on season two began in July 2018. According to Cheo, season two will have more heartbreak, and focus on the different stages of being out, and the dreaded \u201cfamily issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
