'Flip-Side' The story of Bangkok Taxi Tom;
is a soon to be shot feature length movie, now in pre-production, set in Bangkok & Isarn in Thailand in the early 90's. Our film explores the synchronicity of how everyones lives are strangely linked together. Here is a small clip which forms the scenic backdrop to our comic film.
Outline:
'Tom' a teenage Amerasian war orphan - driven by hard times in his Thai north-east rural home-town, journeys to Bangkok only to find that his uncle 'Dang' has disappeared, and is feared dead. With his humble family on the brink of losing everything to the nefarious loan shark Wimon. Tom must find Dang and save not only his family's soul source of income, but also the crumbling Taxi Co-op.
Guided by his faith in a precious Buddha amulet, an old pocket watch, and his need to bring his family together, Tom's hectic quest strangely connects the lives of a budding Australian writer, a mystical migrant nut seller, a gorgeous city billboard model, the Thai Mafia and the US Vietnam Vet father he never knew. The maelstrom of a single day inter-links all our characters in a twisted synchronistic tale.
Strangely everyone thinks Tom is a Westerner, but knowing only his Thai heart, kick-starts his cross-cultural leap of faith through a tangled web of wonder, synchronicity and spirit, while his time runs out.........
