Netflix backs Purin Pictures’ short-film camp; second edition runs in Bangkok this December
17 October 2022

Netflix and Purin Pictures have selected a dozen director/producer teams from Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar in an expanded version of their annual short film camp, which will be held in Bangkok in December this year.

Twelve teams of filmmakers from Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar have been selected to take part in the second edition of the 10-day filmmaking workshop, Netflix said today.

Participants will be mentored by professional filmmakers during the dual-track programme for producers and directors.

The workshop includes a live pitch of short film projects, where four winners will receive funding and post-production support to produce their short films.

“The workshop aims to give an opportunity to filmmakers from less developed countries in Asia Pacific,” Netflix said.

Five teams from Thailand will participate in this year’s workshop along with four teams from Myanmar, two from Cambodia, and one from Laos.

Their films cover a wide range of topics, including family drama, LGBTQ, political repression and the deconstruction of identity.

Last year’s winners produced “My Bee’s Knees” (directed by Tinshine Mont, produced by Christine Flemming); “Blazed Away” (directed by Supamart Boonnil, produced by Ratthathammanoon Supapootorn); and “Dear You” (directed by Muendaw Kamontum, produced by Kataporn Sae-ieb).
