This month has been traditional Thai appreciation month I think. We’ve worked hard on two special projects that we hope take off in a big way, since they represent some very important and must-be-preseved Thai art forms – Takraw (a Thai wicker ball sport) and Looktoong (basically Thai Folk/country music).

Takraw (working title of this project is the same as the sport) is what we would categorize as a passion project – it is a “6 minute extended trailer” based on a treatment of the script. The person at the helm of this project is none other than Mutita “Air” Na Songkhla Production Coordinator and also Wardrobe Supervisor for Legend Films (Thailand). Her dedication and passion to film is undisputed and her filmography speaks for itself (see here). We are proud to help her reach her goal of bringing another Thai artform – the sport of TAKRAW to the bigscreen, and hope and believe that it will happen.

Our second project this month was the completion of the 45-minute pilot for the a new TV series called “Idin Klin Dao” (From the soil to the stars). It is an epic 13 episodes series that will go through the history and interviews living legends of this Thai music genre “Looktoong” which is essentially the folk music of Thailand . The name means “children of the fields”.. literally. The concept is a bit like an arty documentary of present day interviews and shows intercut with historical reels of old photo’s and archive material. POSTPROP worked with Tangkwa Matograph on this project to create the look and feel of the Pilot Episode… SO Good luck guys… and by the way the first episode airs tonight on TRUE VISIONS at 10 pm as well! What great timing.

Thank you all for reading! See you next time.
