Lion & Lion's Film & Content Production Studio launches debut film entitled “Love On The Line”

As an homage to the short film genre, Lion & Lion’s Film & Content Production Studio is proud to announce the release of its very own, just three months shy of establishing its dedicated in-house team. 

“Love on the Line” tells the story of an elderly man who, dressed in his best, makes a daily trip to his neighbourhood telephone booth to make a phone call at 6 o’clock sharp. As the story unfolds, audiences are drawn into a touching tale that explores themes of love, memories, commitment and human connection. The film's powerful storytelling is enhanced against a backdrop of nostalgic settings and small town charm, shot on location in Seremban.

Johnson Ling, Head of Production at Lion & Lion and Director of “Love in the Line”, eloquently sums up the essence of his team's debut film with an insightful quote: "Love transcends time and space – even in the absence of our loved ones, their memories continue to inspire us to live and love more deeply.”

“We wanted to convey the message that the little things in life can make a big difference. Our story aims to remind viewers that every moment counts, and that love, no matter how fleeting, can have a profound impact on our lives. Through our film, we hope to inspire others to cherish the small moments in life and to never take them for granted,” he says.

“Love on the Line” was produced entirely in-house by Lion & Lion's team of creatives, showcasing the agency's expertise in end-to-end film production. While their services also encompass production for TVCs, branded entertainment and digital-first content, the launch of a short film marks a significant milestone for the team, whose guiding North is to create engaging content that builds intimacy with their audience. 

Cheelip Ong, Regional Chief Creative Officer at Lion & Lion adds on, “With the launch of our Film & Content Production team to create greater impact for our clients, producing and making cinematic films and shorts that can demonstrate the capabilities of our directors and the storytelling abilities of our creatives comes naturally. It allows our talents to broaden their canvas for creativity, telling stories that delight and that touches hearts through the film format.”

The film is now available for viewing on Lion & Lion's website and Youtube channel.
