KUALA LUMPUR, April 18, 2018 – iflix today 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.
Caraoke Drift Featuring Leona Chin
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!
