Since we started in Thailand in 1997, Living Films has had the chance to work on many productions throughout Asia. We have made documentaries in China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Indonesia. We have made feature films and commercials in Cambodia. We have shot corporate films in Japan and Hong Kong. We have worked on the post production of films shot in India and Pakistan. And we have regional partners in many other countries, including Bhutan, Borneo and Australia.
For productions in Thailand's neighboring countries it is often necessary to bring some resources with us. On larger productions for example, we would need to hire some of more experienced crew in Thailand, especially for department head positions. On almost all productions some equipment would also have to be brought in as well. However, we will always try to first arrange as many local resources as possible.
