Not Friends

A group of Thai high school students with a shared love of filmmaking decides to make a short movie about a classmate who has recently died. What starts as a school project gains unexpected momentum: friends, family and teachers throw their support behind it, and the school's film club joins in. As the production moves forward, the students uncover secrets about the classmate that reshape how they see both him and the filmmaking they have committed themselves to.

Not Friends is a Thai comedy-drama released in October 2023 and directed by Atta Hemwadee, who also wrote the screenplay. It was his first feature, followed by Gohan in 2026.
