The interview was initially conducted on July 2017
Palatpol Mingpornpichit is a filmmaker from Thailand. “Fathers” is his debut feature. We speak with him about the process of making the film, cooperating with a kid actor, LGBT in Thailand and many more topics.
Can you tell us a bit about the path that led you to the shooting of “Fathers”?
I did my first movie when I just graduated from the university. I had to find financial support by myself. Actually, it’s not a successful movie because I had not enough experience. Until one day, it occurred to me that if I give up riding bicycle just because I fell once, I will get nothing and be hurt for nothing. And yes, like everything, so I decided to do the second movie.
Why did you choose the particular topic for your film? What research did you do regarding the concept...

Asian films about LGBT are on the rise the latest years, with films like “Our Love Story”, “Close-Knit“, “Die Beautiful” and “Fathers“. However, Takuro Nakamura takes the concept a bit further, as he combines it with the issue of cultural differences, while he also offers a rather artistic visage to the subject.
“West North West “screened at Japan Cuts
Naima is a rather shy, socially incompatible exchange student from Tehran living in Tokyo, where she studies art. Her life, though, seems to change when she attracts the interest of Kei, a radically different woman who works in a bar and has a relationship with a fashion model, Ai. Kei, however, has some troubles with her tumultuous relationship, and the somewhat morose and quiet nature of Naima draws her, with the girls quickly becoming friends. Kei seems to want more from Naima, who does not seem to share the same sentiments.

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton” went supernova the second it opened on Broadway in July of 2015, almost instantly becoming a cultural touchstone as well as the hottest ticket in town; even when an obstructed view of the Richard Rodgers Theatre was more expensive than an orchestra seat anywhere else, it was still hard to find someone who felt like they were overcharged. But while a lot of Stubhub resellers got very, very rich off the frenzy around the Tony-winning show, not even the most craven of the lot had the chutzpah to ask for the $75 million that Disney wound up paying for the rights to a live recording of a June 2016 performance featuring the original cast (which is at least $2 million more than some of us paid for our nosebleed seats around the same time).
After spending more cash than Alexander Hamilton himself would know what to do with, Disney planned...
