MUAY THAI || Short Film
A surreal, atmospheric descent into the psyche of a Muay Thai boxer in the days leading up to a fight.
This intimate portrait reveals the rituals and pressures in Bangkok's
boxing culture that have shaped our boxer and that cause him mounting
physical and psychological tension as his dedication, faith, and doubt
intersect.
Shot at a bare-bones training gym on the grounds of a Buddhist Temple,
and in Bangkok’s historic Rajadamnern Stadium, the film captures the
world-wide phenomenon of Muay Thai as it has been practiced for
centuries. Its authenticity is the product of two years' work, multiple
research trips, and two long days of filming with a dedicated Thai
production team.
