Abhijit Naskar
“Make movies my friend – make nice, inspiring and bold movies that will penetrate the darkest corners of the human mind and illuminate the soul.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Film Testament

“Some may view BL series as just another genre that tells the love story between two people, but there are still those who are not open-minded and don't fully accept the idea of sexual diversity. Honestly, I wish they would give it a chance because it's quite fun! Nowadays, BL series come in a variety of styles. There are grand productions, stories that cross borders and time, period dramas, etc. The genre has expanded significantly and has become one of Thailand's soft powers.”
Noeul Nuttarat Tangwai
