a Doc both inspires and informs explains Pailin Wedel in this highlight of his episode of Filming in Thailand.

Pailin Wedel, a Thai-American photojournalist, film director, and producer, has emerged as a prominent figure in documentary filmmaking, recognized for her innovative approach to storytelling. Her acclaimed documentary "Hope Frozen" (2018) gained international distribution through Netflix in 2020, exploring the poignant and controversial topic of cryonic preservation in Thailand. The film sparked a significant debate on the ethical implications of cryonics, particularly within Thailand's predominantly Buddhist society.

Before her success with "Hope Frozen," Wedel produced the documentary series "Operation Thailand," which delved into Thailand's burgeoning medical tourism industry. She also directed several impactful episodes of Al Jazeera's weekly current affairs series "101 East," covering diverse and challenging topics such as methamphetamine production in Southeast Asia and the political tensions in Myanmar during the 2015 elections.

Wedel's journey into the world of film and video journalism followed a richly diverse upbringing and education. Born to Yuangrat Wedel, a professor of political philosophy, and Paul Wedel, a journalist and former president of Kenan Foundation Asia, she grew up in multiple countries across Asia. After graduating with a degree in biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2004, Wedel's career took a decisive turn towards journalism. She honed her skills in photography at The News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina, before teaching herself video production. Her work eventually graced international outlets such as National Geographic and The New York Times.

In addition to her directorial and production roles, Wedel and her husband co-founded 2050 Productions, a Bangkok-based documentary team, in 2016. Their collaborative efforts have continued to produce insightful and critically acclaimed documentaries.

Wedel's documentary work has been recognized with numerous awards, including a £80,000 Funding Award from The Whickers Film & TV Funding Awards and accolades from the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, the San Antonio Independent Film Festival, and the International Emmy Awards.

In 2022, Wedel returned to the spotlight with "The Trapped 13: How We Survived The Thai Cave," a Netflix documentary that chronicled the harrowing Tham Luang cave rescue, further cementing her reputation as a storyteller capable of capturing the complexities of human resilience and the spirit of survival.

The Time Machine of Eoin O' Brien in this highlight of his episode of Filming in Thailand.

Eoin is best known for his pivotal role in the film Kiss of the Con Queen, which draws directly from his personal experiences with a notorious Hollywood scam. This scam, involving an impersonator posing as a film producer, had profound impacts on him and other industry professionals.

During the podcast, Eoin shares his journey from Ireland to Thailand, his transition into the Thai film scene, and how these experiences enriched his acting and writing career. He discusses his roles in notable films such as The Last Full Measure (2019) and Never Back Down: No Surrender (2016), detailing the cultural nuances and logistical challenges he faced while filming in Thailand. His stories highlight the unique opportunities that the Thai film industry offers to foreign actors, providing a fresh perspective on global filmmaking.

Moreover, Eoin delves into the creation of Kiss of the Con Queen, explaining how his unfortunate encounter with the Hollywood scam inspired him to write and star in this film. Directed by Tom Waller, the movie features a cast including Patrick Bergin and Ravi Patel, and it turns Eoin's harrowing ordeal into a compelling narrative.

Throughout the podcast, Eoin reflects on the therapeutic process of transforming personal trauma into a creative expression, and how it ultimately allowed him to take control of his narrative and achieve his dream of playing a lead role in a major film. This episode not only explores Eoin's film career but also his resilience and creative spirit in the face of adversity.
