Not Friends
New York Asian Film Festival 2024
July 12 - 22, 2024
This coming-of-age tale from the Thai team behind Bad Genius (NYAFF 2017 Opening Night selection) is a cheeky, imaginative romp through the world of guerilla filmmaking.
Introduction by Atta Hemwadee, Anthony Buisseret, Thitiya Jirapornsilp, and Baz Poonpiriya
From the Thai team behind Bad Genius (NYAFF 2017 Opening Night selection) and You & Me & Me (led by Anthony Buisseret and Thitiya Jirapornsilp, reuniting here) this coming-of-age tale is a cheeky, imaginative romp through the world of guerilla filmmaking that’s as unpredictable as a Bangkok traffic jam. When he transfers to a new school, Pae (Buisseret), a brooding teen with a serious attitude problem, gets a crash course in positivity from irrepressibly optimistic Joe. The bromance ends prematurely, but it brings Pae out of his shell and sets him on a mission to make a film in honor of his erstwhile companion. Along the way, the teenager must come to terms with his “me against the world” complex when a crew of misfits shows him what true creative expression and friendship are all about. This striking directorial debut pulls out all the stops, turning every plot point on its ear with a wink and a smile.
An uplifting and engaging drama exploring the essence of friendship.
