Om Sakthi Films Six independent film projects from across Southeast Asia will share $160,000 in production and post-production support from the Purin Film Fund, the Bangkok-based nonprofit announced for its Spring 2026 session.
Four projects received production grants. On the fiction side, “Dear Son An,” directed by Kim Quy Bui and produced by Le Diem Ha and Mai Nguyen Zeitmet for Vietnam’s A.T Sound Studio, centers on a nine-year-old boy who drifts between faith and fantasy as his mother, a single parent with cancer, prepares for her absence; and “Little Phnom Penh,” directed by Chheangkea Ieng and produced by Daniel Mattes for Anti-Archive, follows a Cambodian woman’s longing for home and belonging – spanning post-Khmer Rouge Phnom Penh to early-2000s California – as her first love resurfaces over time. Fiction production grants are valued at $30,000 each.
