The Velvet Curtains Of Alien Bar

The "Alien Bar" (name in script) was actually two-locations-in-one, with the (sleazy) Karaoke-lounge actual in the middle of Little India, Singapore, whilst the "backyard and office" scenes set in a Clan Association in the middle of Singapore's famous "red light district"; Geylang (go figure).

The story had both Harry and Selvam passing thru the the KTV-Lounge to the office of the Big Boss out back and I had devised a velvet curtain as a faux transition between the two separate locations, complete with kitschy plastic-"crystal" curtains, in keeping within my hark-back to the 1970's feel i had planned and permeated throughout the film.

The curtain was then transported unto the following location at the Clan Association in Geylang. (which has since been defiled used by a coupla more features, including my 6th, Rice Rhapsody!)


The actual corridor here led to an emergency exit out back to an alley (which were used predominately for smoke-breaks) and the lockers were existing items, for which the staff had used. so all it needed was a bit of tidying up (the carpeting reeked tho). On the left-of-image were the restrooms/toilets and what you do not see were the muck that was left there (basically folks who'd had a tad too much to drink went and eased themselves, both ways...)
