Thailand and South Korea Collaborate on Screenwriting Development Program

The Thailand Screenplay to Content Industry Program (SCIP), an initiative supported by the Department of Cultural Promotion under the Ministry of Culture and managed by Kantana Group, has officially entered its 'Immersive Program' phase. According to Khaosod Online, this stage took place from September 18 to 24, 2026, at CONEX SPACE in Siam Paragon, Bangkok.

The program aims to elevate the professional standards of Thai personnel within the film, television, series, documentary, and animation industries. During this intensive week, 40 selected projects underwent rigorous development workshops led by industry experts from both Thailand and South Korea. By fostering cross-cultural collaboration, the initiative seeks to enhance the quality of local storytelling to meet international standards.

For residents and visitors interested in the Thai creative sector, this program highlights a significant push toward professionalizing the local entertainment industry. The collaboration suggests a growing influence of Korean production methodologies within the Thai market, which may lead to higher-quality local content in the near future. While the immediate development phase has concluded, it remains to be confirmed how these 40 projects will be distributed or when the final productions will be available for public viewing. Observers of the Thai media landscape should monitor future announcements regarding the commercial release or platform distribution of these developed screenplays.
