Gedde Watanabe, and
Zelda Rubinstein.
Streeter wrote and directed

Dickson Tan, who is visually impaired. The story is about A single Singaporean mother who comes face-to-face with her despised and estranged father of 20 years. A story of three generations, miscommunication and a bond created by a young son who is blind.
Steeter's current film

[5], is a story about
