Bâan premiered today!
Epic behind-the-scenes!
Congratulations Gigguk.
It’s always motivating to see radical dreamers realise their dreams
I make a little cameo around 1hr 25m 45s.
My hairdo is meant to be 🪽
Hope you enjoy the ending theme ‘Homebird’ by the one and only Kevin Penkin.
I was watching Baan and got about 90% through it and suddenly went “oh yeah, a bunch of people who worked on this show uprooted their entire lives and moved to Japan, that’s probably relevant to the themes of this show”
I doodled the Trashy Bois (+ Lud and Sydney) using funny pics on Pinterest as refs.
Hoping to do more of these, if anyone has a funny pic I can reference, send it my way ✨

Bâan
"บ้าน" (B̂ān): Thai. home, house, hearth
A young man from Japan travels to another world to figure out what he wants to do with his life. A young woman from Euthania travels to another world to stand on her own. Their stories intertwine as the movie progresses.
It's good. It's seriously impressive even if it wasn't an independent project, feeling like something out of an anime version of Love, Death and Robots. There's a couple twists throughout that wrinkle this deceptively-simple story, and it's efficient in matters of worldbuilding by saying only what's necessary, implying what's warranted and ignoring the rest. It also manages to tie a neat bow on the themes without making too much of a generalization, which is also impressive with a 18-minute runtime. I don't think the emotional impact was quite as strong as it could have been, but I think the quality stands regardless, and I know that making something like this couldn't have been easy.
Give it a watch. I promise you'll come away with something to think about.
Bâan - The Boundaries of Adulthood
Trailer
Don't mind me, just drawing some old, neglected OCs petting a naga.
But seriously please give Bâan: the boundary of adulthood a watch. It's free on YouTube
