Just been in Cinema Cambodia yesterday viewed many Khmer students work. the momentum is starting and hopefully they will become a new force to cambodian cinema.

John Weeks, showed some 3D work with his team. may be someday Khmer film will be like steven job's pixar .

Just in case, if you don't know :

Cambodia was a strong film producing country with  a mega hit horror film in early 70s, the snake woman. it's been remade many times.

Now, this is a fastest growing film producing country in Asia. from amlost zero in 2001 to over 50 films in 2005. they are 100% digital in both film production and cinema screening.

genre(s) 99% are horror films and only a handful of others like love drama  /realistic story.

like other citizens in the world, they aprk their motobikes and pay a dollar to go into the aircon cinema for a thrilling experience.

only 4 shows per day in most of the cinemas.

HM Norodom Sihanouk, 

the former King of Cambodia made many films.

Great salute to Professor Raymond Leos!

Let the film makers meet and continue the indie spirit.
