Anucha Boonyawatana

“When I was in the university, I made the medium length film called Down the River. The film told the story of a gay teenager, combined with Buddhist Philosophy. I think it was very successful back then; it has been shown in several film festivals and distributed via DVD in the US. But when I graduated, I didn’t have a chance to make any more films. Because at that time, movies about gay people were not so popular in Thailand”
