Tell Me Sheila Web Series
Tell Me Sheila is a web series that portrays the comical account of a young single woman’s journey in modern, urban Sri Lanka caught between two worlds; one with family focused Asian values and the other governed with more western, liberal and sexually exploratory viewpoints. Naomi gives a funny, often brutally honest insight in to the lives of urban Sri Lankans ranging from dating to feminism. The aim is to unveil the lives of these Sri Lankans and expose the struggles that come with the evolving social landscape of the capital, Colombo.
