2008 - The movie FIRST
FLIGHT will be released in the theaters in Thailand on 31 Jan 2008
under its Thai name "Rak Siam Tao Fah."
The film premiered at CANNES FILM FESTIVAL in May 2007 and was
well-received. Tom has been helping with this film for several years -- Article
SKY OF DREAMS (Nation Newspaper). The film is about the early days of
aviation in the Kingdom of Siam. Tom plays the role the French pilot
"Pierre" in this film. Tom also did the aerial photography for the film
and several other things. The film is about the meeting of two cultures --
"East meets West" -- before World War I, when the airplanes were made out
of wood, and the pilots were made out of iron. It is a film about
believing in the power of your dream and it is based on fact that Siam
sent over 70 pilots with their Expeditionary Forces to support the allies in
France during World War I. |
