iflix, the world’s leading entertainment service for emerging markets, recently announced the upcoming launch of its short-form original series, Caraoke Drift. The announcement follows the launch of Studio2:15, iflix’s all new creative production business for short-form video content, led by digital media trailblazer, Craig Galvin.
Produced by Pixel Play, Caraoke Drift is full-on adrenaline with a twist. Featuring Leona Chin, Asia’s leading female driver and ultimate girl-next door spiced with spunk, speed and thrill, each episode will feature a local celebrity taking on the challenge of completing a song in a drift car. The fun is in the drama, when the singer goes off-tune!
Filming commenced in April 2018 at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, featuring leading local celebrities Maya Karin, Adibah Noor, Fatiya Latiff, Zizi Kirana, Altimet, Mimi Fly and more. Caraoke Drift is hosted by Malaysian radio icon JJ, formerly of Hitz.FM, and is set for global release in June 2018 – exclusively on iflix.
Head of Studio - Studio2:15, Craig Galvin, said: “Short-form content started as a means for self-expression and rapidly grew in popularity alongside the rise of mobile entertainment consumption. Caraoke Drift embodies Studio2:15’s vision in providing our audiences with compelling entertainment experiences with a local twist. We are thrilled to expand iflix’s content offering in the months to come with entertaining and highly engaging "snackable" content, giving our members a diverse library of content and keeping them coming back for more.”
