Behind the Scenes: Casting a Dutch Film in Thailand with Local Talent
The vibrant streets of Bangkok and the lush landscapes of Thailand recently became the backdrop for an extraordinary cinematic adventure—a Dutch film that brought together global creativity and local talent. We’re thrilled to share the incredible journey of casting this project, a collaboration that showcased the passion and skill of Thai actors and the vision of an international production team. This experience was a testament to the power of storytelling that crosses borders, and we’re grateful to have played a role in bringing it to life.

Our team at MasterClass Studio had the honor of handling the local casting for this Dutch film, a responsibility we approached with excitement and dedication. Thailand’s film industry is buzzing with talent, and we were tasked with finding actors who could embody the story’s depth and bring authenticity to the screen. The process was both challenging and rewarding, as we sifted through countless auditions to discover performers who could shine alongside an international crew. The result? A cast that lit up the set with their energy, professionalism, and raw talent.


The actors chosen for this film were nothing short of phenomenal. Byron Gibson, known for his commanding presence in films like *The Farang* (2010), brought intensity and charisma. Selina Wiesmann delivered a nuanced performance, showcasing her versatility. Sornchai Chatwiriyachai, a respected figure in Bangkok’s theater scene and founder of Malongdu Theatre, added depth with his socially engaged artistry. Pex Jirawongn, Dylan Soal, Josefina Herrano, Siri Tveter, and Kage Mulvilai, among others, each contributed unique flair, making every scene unforgettable. Their performances were a masterclass in passion, proving why Thailand’s actors are gaining global recognition.


What made this project special was the spirit of collaboration. The Dutch production crew, with their clear vision and professional approach, created an environment where creativity thrived. They trusted our casting expertise, allowing us to connect them with Thai actors who could elevate the story. From intense rehearsals to long shooting days, the synergy between the international team and local talent was electric. The actors’ ability to adapt to the demands of a cross-cultural production was inspiring, and their dedication shone through in every frame.


Casting for a film like this isn’t just about finding talent—it’s about building bridges between cultures. Thailand’s film industry has grown tremendously, with projects like *The White Lotus* Season 3 (filmed in Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok) putting the country on the global stage. This Dutch film continues that trend, blending European storytelling with Thailand’s rich cultural backdrop. The actors brought authenticity to their roles, infusing the film with the vibrancy of Bangkok and the warmth of Thai hospitality. Their performances weren’t just acting—they were a celebration of storytelling that resonates across borders.

We’re especially proud of how the actors embraced the challenge. For some, like Sornchai, it was a chance to draw on years of experience in theater and film. For others, it was a breakout moment to showcase their skills on an international stage. Each actor brought something unique, from emotional depth to dynamic energy, creating a tapestry of performances that will captivate audiences. Their cooperation and enthusiasm made the set a joyful place, even during tough shooting schedules.


This project also highlighted the importance of opportunities for local talent. Thailand’s film scene is a hub for emerging filmmakers and actors, and productions like this offer a platform to shine. At MasterClass Studio, we’re committed to nurturing that talent through our Acting for Film Course. Our students, like those who created short films such as *Fallen Home*, learn to write, act, and produce under expert guidance. This Dutch film’s success inspires us to keep fostering the next generation of Thai actors and filmmakers.
