Experiencing Interruptions?

Turning Point

An accident in the evening of 2022 changed Wirittipon "First" Withandetsit's perspective and led him to question his life in ways he had never done before. It took time and a journey through many life experiences for him to realize that answering those questions was far more complex than he had ever anticipated.

Director Statement

This is my first self-directed documentary film in my life.

I have been watching, absorbing, and eagerly waiting for the day to make another documentary. Waiting for an interesting topic to come my way.

Until the evening of March 10, 2022.

The day life gave me a lesson, one that even I did not know at the time would take 2 years to teach.

I decided to pick up a camera and record all those stories from the very first day. Every step, every feeling, collected little by little. Initially, I only hoped that one day I could sit back and watch these moving images again in the future when I had recovered. Before realizing that this footage, which seemed like a life chronicle, could easily be woven into a story.

That was the day I knew this was the topic I had been waiting for.

Turning Point is that documentary.
