My name is Kasidid Kangkarn, and I am a college student living in Thailand.
I have been passionate about movies since I was 7 years old, thanks to my dad. When I turned 16, I developed a love for art films after watching movies by David Lynch. David inspired me to create my first film with my iPhone, and I learned everything about filmmaking on my own, never taking a film course or studying in a related field. My first film is titled 'Other Side,' and my second work is 'Pretty Men,' which became my first award-winning film and was screened in several countries.
My approach to filmmaking involves using color and aspect ratios as powerful cinematic languages. I believe that lighting shapes the mood and emotions of the characters and the form of light. I use long takes to invite viewers to interpret and observe the scene from a distance. I aim to draw viewers into my cinematic world, and one of my most important rules is to "break every rule of filmmaking."
