“Ghost of the Currents” has received the Popple Pictures Award at Docs by the Sea.

At first, I felt that simply being selected at Docs by the Sea was already an award in itself. This was our first documentary film lab, and it was such a wonderful experience to develop our film by the beach in Bali with our lovely mentor, Zeynep Güzel.

But then we actually won this award! Thank you so much to Armi Rae Cacanindin and Popples Pictures for seeing our project as promising and offering us one year of consultation. This means so much to us because a hybrid project is really challenging, and having Popples Pictures, that have produced both documentary and fiction, supporting us as consultants is just perfect for us.

Thank you to our amazing team: Producer Napakarn Boontarig, Co-director Kalil Pitsuwan, Editor Beer Nisarat, and those who were behind the trailer, Panisa Khueanphet, Thanakrit Duangmaneeporn, and of course, Ka-ge Mulvilai.

And special thanks to Gugi Gumilang, and the entire Docs by the Sea team for creating such an wonderful film lab, so productive, yet so chill at the same time.

After a wonderful time and fruitful meetings by the beach in Bali at Docs by the Sea, Ghost of the Currents will be heading next to DMZ Docs Industry for the Production Pitch in Seoul. Wish us luck!

Our “Ghost of the Currents” has been selected for the Q Cinema Project Market 2025 at Q Cinema Film Festival in Quezon City, the Philippines. It’s my second time joining after the screening of “Solids by the Seashore” in 2023.

Another Thai project selected is “Ray of Light” by Nontawat, produced by Awat, back in the project market together again after Cannes.

Thank you QCinema Industry for the support.

Back at Cannes once again!

From ทะเลของฉันฯ – Solids by the Seashore to my second feature GHOST OF THE CURRENTS.

I’ll be joining ‘Thai Pitch at Cannes’ on May 19–20 at the Thai Pavilion, Village International, with Mod Napakarn (Producer) and Kalil Pitsuwan (Co-director/Writer)

This year feels special with the world premiere of A Useful Ghost, a Thai film with a new cinematic language by Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke.

With the support of THACCA, this year Thai cinema has a wider presence at the festival. More emerging filmmakers are here, including short filmmakers experiencing Cannes for the first time. It redefined the sacredness of Cannes, once distant for Thai filmmakers, closer than before.

Thanks to THACCA and P’Don for your continued support, and to Raymond for helping us arrange the meetings.

See you around!

Throwing it back to last month when we had our first pitch and fruitful meetings at Cinema at Sea in Okinawa, which was also supported by THACCA and the Thai Film Foundation. Thanks to the festival and P’Don for guiding us through the process.

Our second feature film project “Ghost of the Currents,” has just been awarded Best Arthouse Project at the DANAFF Project Market, the Grand Prize and the only Southeast Asian award supported by CNC (the French National Centre of Cinema).

This recognition came through the pitch by my amazing team, Producer Napakarn Boontarig and Co-director Kalil Pitsuwan, with guidance and mentorship from Isabelle Glachant. I’m deeply impressed and proud of the teamwork we’ve built together.

Beyond the award, we also received valuable feedback that will help us further shape the project.

Thanks to the festival team and all the juries for recognizing the importance and urgency of this story and for believing in our film.

Itt will be joining the panel “Mekong Through Artistic Lens” on June 27, 1–4 PM, at Sirindhorn Art Center, Loei, as part of the GMS Educational Programme. I’ll be sharing my work on human construction and the Mekong River, alongside other inspiring artists.

Come by if you’re around!

My second feature film project “Ghost of the Currents” has been selected for the ART-HOUSE FILM PROJECTS (Workshop and Project Market) at the Danang Asian Film Festival 2025!

Although I won’t be attending in person this time, the project will be well represented by Kalil Pitsuwan (Co-Director/Writer) and Napakan Boontarig (Producer).

If you’re attending the festival and interested in our project, feel free to connect with them there.

GHOST OF THE CURRENTS, my new film project exploring the Mekong River, which I’m developing with Mod Napakarn and Kalil Pitsuwan, has received the National Fund from THACCA, alongside other lovely friends and talented Thai filmmakers!

A big thank you to the juries and THACCA for believing in our project. I know the competition was tough since all Thai filmmakers applied for the same fund, which has just come back after some time. But now, we can finally see some light, maybe this film won’t take seven years to finish like the first one hahaha..

Thank you to our team, artists, and all the NGOs from both the northern and northeastern regions who have been supporting us with research and project development for over two years now.

Wish us luck on the journey ahead!
