Eusoff’s first film in five years made its Grand Premiere at Sinema Old School on Monday, 20 October. It was indeed a night to remember as our culture scene had once again taken a great leap forward.

The Forgotten revolves around the story of Dave and Jessie, played by Vijay Liew and Sopphia Loo respectively, an undergraduate couple whose love faces seemingly impossible hurdles.
Would they overcome them all? Yeap Meiyi, Director and Scriptwriter of The Forgotten said: “Well there are only three ways I think the story can end but I suppose it is up to you, the audience, to decide which way you’d like to believe it does.”
The two screenings, at 7pm and 9pm, saw almost sold-out crowds who laughed and cheered at the appearance of familiar faces in the various scenes. A particular scene involving the faces of the two lead actors meeting really close to one another seemed to have gotten the loudest cheers.
“It wasn’t a kiss! Merely a good camera angle that made it look like one,” exclaimed Sopphia as she was bombarded with questions about it during both post-screening discussions with the cast and crew.
“I think the whole screening really brought out the best of Eusoff. Everyone was involved in the film and the screening in some way or another – whether directly or had friends who played a part in it. It is really amazing what we can do when we all come together,” said Esther Lau, a member of the audience.
