The Xtra OKtober campaign has also been stirring heads with a film featuring Malaysia’s social media content creator So I’m Jenn, which can be viewed at https://youtu.be/gAjoNXlgFRM
“I find this project very meaningful and different, especially seeing my characters “Aunty Siow” and “Michelle Siow” in a different setting. My goal in creating content has always to try something different. So when I got this unique brief for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I was ‘Xtra’ excited to say yes to write and produce this video that aims to strike a balance of keeping it light-hearted while being very serious about our message which is to remind Malaysians to do monthly breast self-exam” said Jenn.
