Netflix’s REEL LIFE wants Thai filmmakers

- — Tatat Bunnag

Aspire to become a filmmaker? Now’s your chance. From today until the end of the month, sign up to the REEL LIFE project, an intensive workshop from Netflix recruiting a new generation of filmmakers from all over Thailand to experience work behind the lens. Those selected will meet people on set for two days and one night while experienci­ng the real working world of the global entertainm­ent industry.

The REEL LIFE project is part of the Netflix Fund For Creative Equity (also known as the Netflix Fund For Creative Opportunit­ies) founded in 2021 to invest more than US$100 million over five years developing creative talent around the world. Now the programme has expanded to provide opportunit­ies for young people in Thailand who are interested in behind-the-scenes work.

Spread over two days, the camp aims to inspire, train and empower young and under-represente­d Thai creatives by enabling them to access the experience and knowledge of industry veterans. Working with Netflix, young people will have the opportunit­y to step into the movie and series production industry in the fields of Set Production, Post Production, Script Supervisor, Office Production and Production Accountant.

The programme is currently accepting applicatio­ns from students and the general public aged 20-26 of Thai nationalit­y. Those selected will participat­e in workshops taking place in Bangkok from

Aug 5-6. The project will select 50 participan­ts. In addition, those who have completed the workshop, and are qualified for the job position Netflix is looking for, will be selected for internship with a Netflix production partner.

Applicatio­n is free and can be submitted from now until June 30.
