What could be more inspiring than powerful human stories? Stories that make us want to know more, to understand others, and to open up to the differences that make life beautiful. This is exactly BKKFLM’s approach: to make short films that highlight the human qualities of unknown but extraordinary people. With a very limited team made up of a cameraman, a journalist, and sometimes a sound engineer, it is possible to preserve this precious authenticity. Stay discreet, low profile, and contemplate the beauty of the present. If this way of working matches your ethics, we will tell a wonderful story together.

Klongtoey is a very contrasted district in the center of Bangkok, bordered by the Chao Phraya River and near the port. Known for its large and old slum, its morning market, and port activities, the neighborhood has retained its original features despite the shoppings mall and condominiums that are expanding more and more. The neighborhood is dense. Along the canals, roads, railways, or under bridges, all spaces are occupied. His makeshift dwellings have become the permanent homes of thousands of people. Little by little some areas are cleaned, but others are formed…Despite the difficulties, its inhabitants live by helping each other, without complaining, by getting by with what they have. The environment does not really matter so much. Our inner world is more real than the outside world. The human qualities of its inhabitants testify to it; generosity, humility, kindness, compassion, and respect unites them. Huge respect and admiration for them.
