After returning from a four-month exchange program at Dongseo University in Busan, he is currently developing his debut feature film, Can We Still Glow? (or Should We Do Something?), which explores the post-2020 political movement era in Thailand through the experiences and perspectives of a new generation. The project is currently in development and fundraising.
