Film student projects, amateur video shoots, Indie films (Independant films), no budget and deferred payment movies - all basically volunteer movie projects that you can work on.
Personally I have worked on a few different types of these already, firstly for experience and secondly for footage and thirdly to make contacts.
But there is now very little chance that I will work on any of these again any time soon....

YES! Drona is releasing in 2 weeks time, more showreel for me.
Today I scoured the web for information and it seems that my name is all over the place in connection with this Drona movie, great, it will be nice to see if the website traffic from India suddenly increases in 2 weeks time... I certainly am hoping it will.
Also I found the new theatrical trailer and a couple of released photos, so I can display these without breaking my NDA.

It is looking very likely that I will be working in 1, and possibly in 2 overseas movies early next year. At this point I cannot say anymore but as soon as I am able to write more I will.

I just wrote a massive article on the movie preview and the f'n website timed out and did not save the article, I am not writing it all again, suffice to say I met some interesting people who could be some very interesting future contacts and I was happy with my 10 seconds on screen - also the movie will not be released internationally as it is far too Thai (cultural references).

First the Hanuman The White Monkey Warrior movie poster and now the Hanuman action movie trailer, and also another poster for this local produced movie, and an accompanying music video.
In the trailer I can be seen very, very briefy at the 54 second mark with the group of prize fighters (I am the biggest one of course) but am also wearing a ski mask so my face doesn't show.
In my final take I throw the hero across the room and then yell at him, to add dramatic effect (and to get my face onscreen) I pulled off the ski mask spat on the ground (in contempt) and yelled obscenities at the Hero now laying face down across the room...

Walking along Sukhumvit yesterday I noticed that the Treasured Island DVD is on the streets, apparently it has been for a while but this is the first time I have seen it.
Treasured Island is the English release title for the French movie I'lle Aux Tresors that we filmed in Ao Nung (near Krabi) and Trang in the south of Thailand, as you can tell by the beautiful beach and island scenes...

Hanuman, by Panakorn films has a solid release date finally - 12th Aug 2008, only a few weeks away, with the premiere showing one week before. You may recall I first cast for this back in Aug 2006, then the working title was 'The Big'.
Cool. Finally I am getting showreel footage, and some measure of fame.
Ads and posters are up around the city and in cinemas now with the date firmly set...

Not to be outdone by yesterdays Chandni Chowk To China trailer release, today I find that Drona has released it's trailer too... and they have changed the release date to 2nd Oct, 22 days before Chandni Chowk To China is released.
Conan in Drona
At this point all I can say is that I play the above character and fight with Abishek Bachchan (Drona) at a pivitol point in the movie.

The Chandni Chowk to China movie trailer has been released already. Seeing as we only finished filming Chandni Chowk To China a couple of months ago this is a quick trailer release and with the movie slated for release at Diwali (festival of lights oct 28, 2008) in India...

Last week I was called by a new agent who approached me via my website several weeks ago, Stephen. As you can tell Stephen is not a Thai name and he has ideas about running a talent agency in a western fashion, which is more suitable for me for many reasons.
Also Stephen, unlike previous farang 'agents' (read rip off merchants) has spent considerable time in the Land Of Smiles, 12 years in fact, is fluent in Thai, understands local ettiquette and customs and fits in with Thai society and most importantly here he is very polite.
So Stephen calls me in for a casting for a TV Commercial...

Last time I had a photo of Ray and I together was way back when we first started writting the Bangkok Adrenaline movie script.
That was way back on 24th Sept 2006, when Ray and I got together for our first trial day of scriptwritting.
So here we are again, 21 months later after the successful reception at Cannes of the Bangkok Adrenaline movie and we are both looking towards the future, what will come of this?

DRONA, the Hindi film I travelled to Mumbai to shoot is finally starting to leak details into the public domain and I can report on DRONA in more detail without breaking my NDA.
From the times, when time itself was a newborn baby, the universe has kept one
secret carefully camouflaged within its folds. A secret, which if unraveled,
could unlock the destruction of mankind and the entire cosmos.
Today,
only one man can protect the universe's precious secret and thus, save the human
race from absolute annihilation...

Then into the audition...

In one of the world's oldest adages "It never rains it pours" - or maybe that is just an Australian saying - either way whenever the drought breaks it breaks good.
Actually that does sound Australian, I don't think many other parts of the world have floods directly after decade long droughts.
So again after not much work over the last 2 years it all suddenly comes at once, too much at once as it turns out...

Actually rejected is too harsh a word - the exact phrasing was "Conan, I'm sorry but the framing..." to which I laughed.
I knew it from the start, I was thinking how the heck are they going to frame me.
Oh, sorry 'frame me' is a movie term, not like a gangster term as in "Lets frame Conan for murder", here come inside and I'll explain better...
