Ministry of Culture, Thailand fund our documentary, The Lost Princess.

Directed by our director Kornpat Pawakranond. The Lost Princess is a documentary exploring the daily life of Chao Duangduen Na Chiang Mai, a princess without kingdom. The Film was shot during a complete month in Chiang Mai, the largest city in Northern Thailand.

The first part of the shooting was shot during a complete month in Chiang Mai, the largest city in Northern Thailand.

For the second part of the shooting, the approach will be quite different. We would love to explore other methods that will allow us to continue to develop the project in a sort of Cinematic Essay. These new parts of the film will be mixed with the Cinema Vérité ones that we already captured in order to make the film more poetical.
