On his way home from gunning down a corporate executive, he buys fruit at the local market for his room-mate. And that's only the latest in a series of success stories for Nonzee. Last year, BEC Tero penned an agreement with Nonzee to produce seven films over a three-year period. Nonzee's next, Bang Rachan, the story of a village that warded off Burmese invaders in the 1700s, seems destined to hit home as Thais look warily at Burma after a series of hostage-taking incidents involving Burmese nationals this past year. BEC Tero also hopes to use Nonzee's growing regional rapport as a springboard to penetrate the Asian film market.

If we make movies in the same style as others, it doesn't make a difference. It isn't Thai. We bring our culture out in the presentation and production. Yet, with strict censorship laws in place, staying on the edge is still a delicate business in Thailand. Films about the military, police, government, religion and monarchy are all off-limits.
