Just back from the premier of Galen’s latest film ‘Panom cousin to the clouds’. Truly excellent film… an hour of audio visual stimulation that has you calmly and profoundly learning the lesson of man’s abuse of the elephant over time and never more so than now. Bad enough to turn these intelligent family orientated giants into tractors and cranes but how sick that they are now entertainers for the tourist and the zoo and circus goers.
I liked the fact that I never felt that I was being preached to and the film had many moments when the viewer had time to reflect and actually make their own minds up.
Thanks Galen.
Plenty of people in the audience many from artistic backgrounds. Alex Boyesen from Digital Mixes had a part to play in the making of the film and is a reminder of how rich in talented people the Chiang Mai community is. Alex has an audio video studio here for outsourced media as well as working on local projects.
I invite you to leave your comments.

Yeah I absolutley agree with Tim about the film, look out for Panom wherever you might find it. For once here is something which has something to say and says it in a way that allows you to make up your own mind wiithout being preached at. In marketing speak this film is a call to action to find out more about what is going on in the world around you.
It has indeed been an honour to be a small part of what Galen has achieved and how marvellous it is that Chiang Mai has so much going on in terms of world class creativity.
