I shot an hour long experimental contemplative film as a homage dedicated to Chantal Akerman. My film contains two long tracking shots. Each of 30 minutes long. The film was shot entirely at the suburb of Siem Reap, Cambodia just a few minutes drive from the world famous Angkor Wat.
The title is "Route 60" click here to watch Part I. and Part II.

Filming in Cambodia
As a Field/Line Producer and Fixer with a decade of experience shooting in Cambodia I would like to suggest to all the directors and producers that please start the pre-production as early as possible. Even the most experienced line producers, fixers need time to do the research and double check the information, securing interviews, scouting locations, obtaining all the permits, transportation, logistics, accommodation for documentary, reality, short, feature, music video or TVC.
Pre production is the most important phase of the film-making process. The carefully selected Line/Field Producer will save you a lot of time, money and hassle.
Usually takes 10 working days to obtain the general filming permits for example for documentaries at the Ministry of Information or/and Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts in case if you want to shoot at Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) or Killing Fields in Phnom Penh. If you are planning filming inside Angkor Archaeological Park you must have a permit obtained by Apsara Authority in Siem Reap. They only obtaining filming permit if you provide them the authorized and obtained permits from Ministry of Information or/and Ministry of Culture and Fine Art. So you must add an extra 5- 10 days. Managing the custom clearance documents also takes 2-4 days.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you need an experience professional on the field. In the past 10 years I've been honored to work with both Asian and European production companies for example Mediacorp / Channel News Asia, Vasantham, Vertigo Pictures (Sg) Sputnik Production (B), History Channel (D) with both award winning and upcoming directors, producers. I am here to help you to reach your goal at your next project in South East Asia. I'm working with skilled and experienced local freelancers and able to enlarge the numbers of crew. I am an out of the box thinker with a degree in Cinematography and able to work all over in South East Asia. I have an extensive connection with experienced film professionals.
I can supply reliable camera and lighting equipment with professional skilled crew.
Feel free to contact me at your earliest convenient.
