Arak Amornsupasiri or Pae Slur gives indie music a break to return to the big screen in Bangkok Kung Fu.

Why did you decide to be a part of this film?
It’s because of Pee Tom (director Yuthalerd Sippapark). Plus the story is quite different from other films, and my character, Pong, is interesting—a deaf orphan gifted in kung fu.

Did you have to learn kung fu for the film?
I had to learn a bit, but I only took 3-4 classes because it wasn’t that necessary. It was simply the gestures, the ways of posing that were useful. And luckily the action in the script wasn’t too hard, so I did it all myself.

What is the difference between acting in a film and making a music album?
Acting in a film is a science that is quite similar to real life. It’s different from acting in a soap opera. And making an album is totally different from acting. A song is composed and created by me, while a film script is written and I am paid to perform the role. But I do love all the work I do.

What is the most difficult thing you have deal with?
There are parts of the film, where I have to really create a strong feeling. That feeling has to be there at that certain time, so I must have that mood before I come to act for the scene.

How do you keep the quality consistent with all your projects?
The quality will never be all the same. When I start to work, I have to be a new person. It is how I can make myself fresh and ready for every project all the time. Aimmarin Siritantitam
