My name is Don Poonpat, I’m a videographer/production coordinator, based in Bangkok, Thailand. My journey in filmmaking kicked off as a camera assistant, giving me a solid grasp of on-set dynamics and all the technical ins and outs. That experience quickly evolved into roles as a camera operator and cinematographer, where I've been able to really hone my craft and develop my own aesthetic for visual storytelling. My background in photography has also sharpened my eye for composition and lighting. I'm confident that my experience in camera work and on-set collaboration makes me a strong fit for your team. With a diverse background spanning various video projects, from short films to feature-length works, traveling documentary series, music videos, and corporate content, I have honed a wide range of technical and creative skills. However, my true passion lies in the art of documentary filmmaking. I am deeply inspired by the visual narrative of capturing real life and thriving in the dynamic environment of being on-site, among real people, in often uncontrolled situations. This aligns perfectly with my preferred observational and cinema vérité style of documentation. My goal is always to be as unobtrusive as possible, letting authentic moments and the true essence of subjects unfold naturally. I believe capturing this unfiltered reality is crucial for understanding the nuanced layers of identity and context. On the technical side, I am adept at managing all aspects of filming, including setting up compact lighting for interviews and capturing supporting b-roll footage that seamlessly enhances the story. My fluency in both Thai and English allows for effective communication and broader access to subjects and locations. I'm also a flexible and enthusiastic traveller, genuinely enjoying being on location and immersing myself in different environments.

PAN and Pin are conjoined twins from Thailand – the two girls are joined from their hips down, meaning they share one pair of legs. Separating Pan and Pin is a possibility, but an incredibly risky operation with a 50/50 chance of survival. Their grandmother Noknoi has brought them up since birth, due to their parents being unable to take care of them full time. Noknoi told Truly: "It was challenging at the beginning, because I've only ever raised a one-headed child." Pan and Pin are now thriving, however, as they've learnt to walk and can even cycle independently. "We have to cooperate, there are some times when our legs can't support our weight well, we fall a lot," Pan and Pin said. Since they share a stomach, the twins also have to eat separately to avoid digestion problems. Despite the difficulties, the twins say they love being conjoined because it means they are never lonely and always have each other's support.
Among many fisherman villages of Tale-Chana, the fisherman community has lived by the sea for many generations. Their earnings rely on a way of life, ‘the living of the sea’ and marine resources. The villagers live by the code; the use of the smaller boat, the type of fishing nets, depends on the catches and time of day. They simply hope to maintain sustainability. -
When harvest season on the rice field is over and there’s no more work to be done. A group of rice farmers in the rural villages of Warin-Chamrap prepare for a long journey. The villagers travel on a six-wheeler truck, with all cleaning broom merchandises and vendor carts. The member who own a truck is the one in charge and pick the crew to come onboard. When all the brooms are ready to be loaded to fill up the truck, the journey take off. Each year, the route depends on the season, either to travel north or south and often traveling as far as the boarder of Thailand. The goal is simply to make as much sales as they can, clear out what left in their stockings. When the season looks potentially well to make more sales, the driver finds new stock for a refill to carry-on. All the broom stockings are tidily arranged and well-packed on to a six-wheeler. All vendor carts can be roped-tight to the side of the truck as they're redesigned by the villager to be disassembled.
