Director Notes

Bangkok Thailand is a beautiful city full of chaos and beauty. You can enjoy the luxuries of a sky train to being confronted by a beggar with their baby all within steps of each other.Although it is a 3rd world country full of poverty and problems, it is one of the great metropolitian cities of the world. I wanted to use this setting in my newest animated short film.

After some visits with RIFF Animation Studio, the discussion of collaborating together became real and with Tun (Veeraptra) Jinanavin co-directing, we set on developing the story in the context of showcasing the beauty and chaos of Bangkok.
