Lee Chatametikool (Editor / Post-Production Supervisor) has worked as a film editor and post-production producer in New York and Bangkok alongside producing his own films.
His short film, ‘Miami Strips, Hollywood Dream’, was runner-up for the Ratana Pestanji Award for Best Thai Short Film in 2000 and has screened at numerous festivals worldwide, including the Oberhausen Short Film Festival and the Pusan Asian Short Film Festival.
In 2001, Lee moved back to Bangkok from New York to work on Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s first narrative feature film, ‘Blissfully Yours’. He has since grown alongside a new crop of young filmmakers in Thailand, editing the debut features for many up and coming directors.
In 2007, he won the Best Editor award for ‘Syndromes and a Century’ at the inaugural Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong. In 2008, he won Best Editor for his work on ‘Wonderful Town’ from the Bangkok Film Critic’s Assembly.
Akritchalerm Kalayanamitr (Sound Editor / Sound Design / Location Sound) has a BFA degree in Political Science/International Affairs from Thammasat University and originally intended to join the diplomatic corps. But a strong interest in film sidetracked him into studying filmmaking in the USA.
After graduating from film school in 2000, he was active in ‘underground’ filmmaking in Bay Area San Francisco. On his return to Thailand he taught at the school of audio engineering and worked with Apichatpong Weerasethakul for the first time on Tropical Malady.
