Thai actor Nonkul Chanon Santinatornkul, a veteran of the entertainment industry for over 14 years, has announced his latest venture: a self-funded short film titled 'Long Take.' According to a report by Khaosod Online, Nonkul has taken on multiple roles for the project, including writer, director, and producer, investing millions of baht of his own capital. His partner, actress Aff Taksaorn, is involved in the project as a co-producer.
Speaking at a press conference for the Thai Actors Association at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, where he serves as Vice President, Nonkul explained that he sought to challenge himself with new creative responsibilities. He intends to submit the completed film to various domestic and international film festivals.
For residents and visitors interested in the Thai creative scene, this project highlights the growing trend of established actors taking greater control over production processes.

Nonkul also addressed personal inquiries, noting that his relationship with Aff remains stable despite a lack of frequent social media updates.
