james24 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hey guys i rewatched "the rocket" the other day (great movie btw) and it got me thinking, what's the independent movie scene in Thailand like? Can anyone recommend any decent film studios, directors or movies to watch which may come under that "independent, arty" kind of umbrella?? The rocket is actually a Laos/Ozzie movie but that kind of mood, bracket if that makes sense thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khon Kaen Dave Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Truly,i was in a film here a few years ago.It was called 'Teddy Bear' It was a Swedish/Thai film industry . It ca be googled.It was about a guy who was looking after his old mum,and came here for a holiday.He lost track of the girl,and came back to find her.He was a big body builder.There were 3 of us and we had to go to the Crystal Palace hotel in Nacluer.We had to do screen tests.It was great.We saw the star but not allowed to talk to him.We had to play the part of drunken felangs on soi 7.i had 3 Thai birds hanging off me for one scene.My last scene was that i had to walk across the road on to beach road.Were were treated well,we ate on the set in the restaurant they set up and we got paid 1500 B each.We didnt have to have work permits,because it was parts that only ferangs could play. It was a great night.Good fun,good food and we got paid at the end of the night in cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searat7 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I have been to RCA House to see many independent movies but I noticed some of these started appearing at mainstream theaters (like Paragon and Central World) in the past 2 years which saved me the trip to RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estrada Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I recommend Tom Waller, see IMDB http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0909084/ His latest movie is Mechanic Resurrection. Also Patong Girl, The Last Executioner, Battle of Memories and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khon Kaen Dave Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Sanuk 711.yes it was a fantasy movie,because i am one of the good guys and would never dream of being drunk on a Pattaya soi,or letting 3 nubile,girlies hang off me.Good lord,i would never be associated with that type of behaviourHow dare you suggest it.Well, maybe on days with a D in them.

Khon Kaen Dave Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Khonkaen 10. I googled it some time back,just to see if i could see myself in it.It was in Swedish then.I dont think it ever went internatonal to merit subtitles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
