Make films is one of Thitipan’s favorite hobbies which started out from his first film It Gets Better in 2012 as he was one of executive producers and producers. The film was nominated and won awards and also selected to be in LGBT international film festivals such as Hua Hin International Film Festival (Thailand), Cape and Winelands Film Festival (South Africa), Far East Film Festival (Udine, Italy), Italian Movie Mov (Rome, Italy), Ocian’s-Cinefan Film Festival (New Delhi, India), Traffic Festival (Sao Paulo, Brazil), Mix (Copenhagen, Denmark), Hawaii International Film Festival (USA), LesGaiCinemad (Audience Awards in Madrid, Spain), Homochrome (Cologne, France), Asian Queer Film Festival (Tokyo, Japan) and Hong Kong Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
The experience from making his first film let him learn how hard a film maker can earn a profit from this business. He decided to make an online film he could write, produce and direct in a 5,000 USD budget and shot within 3 days. And it was how LOVE NEXT DOOR (2013) was created for viewers to pay and watch on the website. The film made profit and gained interests from LGBT international festivals. Love Next Door finally did not end up just an online film but was later made into Pro-Res DCP to show in cinema and screened in Hong Kong Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, Q! Film Festival (Jarkarta, Indonesia) and Quezon City Pink Film Festival (The Philippines).
The experience from travelling to international film festivals made Thitipan want to pursue his passion in film making so he applied to join Tokyo Talent Campus 2013 and was selected to be one of 15 asian film makers. The campus was in cooperation with Berlinale searching for new talents and Asia and training them to the maximum potential in 10 days which allowed him to learn more about film making, exchange ideas and develop a better perspective for himself to become a director. And that led to LOVE NEXT DOOR 2 (2015) which was popular and selected to screen in Hong Kong Gay and Lesbian Film Festival และ &Proud Film Festival (Yangon, Myanmar).
The recent film DRIVER (2017) allowed Thitipan to write, produce and direct in a different genre which was drama in combination of erotic and thriller. The film was made within 150,000 USD budget and shot in 7 days. The trailer gained over a million views within a month. And the film is also honored by good reviews from many different film critics in Thailand.
Thitipan is passionate about getting stories told in form and film or television, having a script developed and made and taking part to create something different for the industry. His ultimate goal is to have a career in film making and advance all opportunities to get his works to international markets.
