Renowned director Phoch Anant is not stressed about his film 'Heng Chia Jazz' failing to make money, casually suggesting that if this one doesn't work out, he'll just make another one—so everyone should calm down.
Having made numerous films throughout his career, the talented director is often the subject of discussion from various angles. Most recently, Phoch Anant faced criticism over 'Heng Chia Jazz' not performing financially, with some even asking him on social media how he felt about the film's poor box office returns.
He responded with a laid-back video in typical Phoch Anant style: "I want to thank our loyal fans who keep watching our movies. Are you disappointed? I'm not. There are plenty of other Thai films that made no money or earned less than ours. Our film had a smaller budget, but our production quality is second to none. This one didn't work out, maybe the next one will. Some companies make multiple films but only succeed with one. Our investors told me that as long as the film doesn't lose money and makes a little profit, that's good enough. Don't worry about it. Stop overthinking—I'm someone who enjoys keeping people on their toes anyway, otherwise life has no flavor, right? I'm happy to have made films in different styles. Thanks to our fans. Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss, but at least we're still a top-five or top-ten earning production company. Missing the top rankings for a year isn't a big deal. The year's not even over yet, haha."
