Directing (about architecture and life)

Architecture has always attracted me. I think, metaphorically, we are all architects of our lives.


Sustainable architecture is an amazing topic. Its principles can inspire us to “build” sustainable lives.

And since it’s a very serious topic, I tried to explain it in a simple, adventurous and sometimes (hopefully) funny way.

Recently I was talking to a real architect. He is working on his project right now. He told me that it’s great to see how a building which you have imagined turns step by step into reality.

That’s exactly how I'm feeling about filmmaking.

This transformation from imagination into reality is truly magical.

I was always interested in life and human nature and started practicing performing arts after reading books of K. Stanislavski. I was amazed that the art of acting is not about pretending, but actually about living. I felt that acting was an answer to my questions about philosophy about the human nature. After several years of working in front of the camera I got very curious about the magic behind the camera. I started studying filmmaking, made some short videos and an idea of a film about Architecture and Life came.

I’m very thankful to my friends, very talented actors that I met in Bangkok, who agreed to join me! They were very supportive and very professional.
