When I called Tham to ask for an interview, I received a friendly answer: `People ask me too many questions.
Tham said she does not like to talk about cinema, `I make films without hoping to create any breakthrough, to me cinema is a story of emotions`.
Tham always pays attention to poor workers with a sympathetic eye.
Tham’s first long film took 5 years to both shoot and edit.
People say making independent films is extremely difficult.
She came to documentary film because she considered it a new field she should learn, and then determined to follow it, simple as that.
Both this film and Tham’s previous film, Xe Om, left viewers amazed at how easily she could convince others to let her live with them, to share everything about them to the fullest.
She shared that she is currently hoping to make a movie about tragic stories in today’s society.
Although she refuses to talk too much about what she has not been able to do, Tham also admits that she feels very lucky.
Her concerns about her path seem to have been answered.
