Ocean Wachirapornprut, Producer/Filmmaker,
aka Big Boy Scout
Living in an era where our society places importance on shaping social media profiles rather than our true selves.
I am a human intending to work in the film industry as a producer or director, telling stories about people, making my audience feel emotionally connected to others' experiences, and demonstrating the beauty and complexity of being human.
After 19 years in Thailand, I'm studying for a BA in Advertising in Melbourne, which helps me develop a deeper understanding of the complexity of humans through various creative briefs. Outside of my studies, I volunteer in student films and TV shows, taking on various roles to gain on-set experience.
I am also a pop culture enthusiast, inspired by a diverse range of media, including films, television, comics, video games, and novels from both Eastern and Western cultures.
Fear is the mind-killer, so I'm never afraid to express my identity. I would have to sing my elevator pitch in front of people from the industry.
I dream about being the next Spielberg, always chasing the weird idea that might earn me the Oscar … or the Razzies (I believe it is harder than the Oscar).
I am a Liverpool Football Club supporter, and we share the same mentality: we never give up.
I am heavily influenced by Superman because he helps every single person with everything he can. So, I love volunteering.
