Wisit Sasanatieng talks ARMFUL
Singapore, 7th March 2006 - Thai New Wave Director Wisit Sasanatieng talks about Armful, his new feature film project produced by One Ton Cinema.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
This will be the first time ever I’ll be directing a film from abroad. The film is in a language that I don’t speak so I am nervous but curious at the same time.
However, there are a couple of things that engaged me about Armful.
Firstly, the script presents, potentially, a new genre of martial arts and action - one that I think I’ve never seen before. It will allow me to create something new, very new!
Armful also has elements and themes that will let me pay homage to classic wuxia films from the seventies era - which are amongst my all time favorites.
Lastly and most importantly.
It’s because of what the producer said to me “This is not a Thai, Chinese or Singaporean film. It is a South East Asian film. One that will show, collectively, who we are to the world.”
Very exciting!
