In late June, 2025, our Co-Director & Producer, Koh, travelled to the UK to attend Sheffield Docfest (the world's 3rd largest documentary festival) to pitch our film to festival programmers and top industry agents. In just four days, he held around 20 productive meetings and received immensely positive feedback that highlighted the film’s global potential.
KEY OUTCOME: Partnership with First Hand Films
The most significant outcome was securing a partnership with the award-winning Swiss-German company First Hand Films. Koh pitched directly to CEO Esther van Messel, an industry veteran whose company has produced and distributed numerous award-winning and Oscar-nominated films at leading festivals (Sundance, Berlinale, Cannes, Venice, Toronto). Impressed by our trailer and pitch, she quickly reconnected, and after follow-up discussions in Thailand in July and August, the partnership was finalized.
Through their extensive global network, First Hand Films will help distribute our documentary in 2026. Follow us on Facebook & IG for more updates!
