IT LOOK LIKE director Yuthlert "Tom" Sippapak might have to permanently shelve his film "pitupoom" ("Fatherland"), two years in the making.
The producers fear the story about the insurrection i Muslim-Malay South is too sensitive and might incite further unrest, assuming that's even possible.
Tom doesn't appear downhearted, though, since he's still eager to build his own 100-seat Phet Chiang Khan cinema in Loei this year and needs to make more movies to screen there.
His current project is another nostaligic turn.
"'Pitupoom' took me back to the path of truth and I just want to keep doing things that are simple," he says.
So he's shooting a romantic comedy for M Pictures with an oddball title- "Took-kae Rak Pang Jung", which more or less means "Gecko Loves Pang Very Much".
the title drew a few smirks and comments to the effect that it doesn't sound like the sort of movie Tom used to make.
But there's "not such thing as Tom's style of filmmaking", he says, andremember that he's on the path of non-attachment, so don't try to pin him down.
"For once I want to do a love story where nobody dies," he laught.
And it's long been a secret hankering to make this one - a film set back in the days when relationsips didn't depend on smartphones or apps.
That's right,it's ancient history - the 1980s.
Tom's teenage characters hang out at a dance club in Siam Center called The Palace and life moves at what Tom calls "a slow pace", though surely not the disco dancer. "You must admit that that fashion and music back then were rather unique," he says
