seasons change

Today Husband and I went to see the Thai film Seasons Change. (Here's the movie website and a quick synopsis.)

This movie was takes place, and was filmed, at the university where we work. The main characters are pre-college music students. It's a very cute high-school romantic comedy, and it was especially fun for us because we got to do some people-watching. In addition to being shot in our building, the movie used many of our colleagues and students as extras. Our boss, the Director of the College of Music, was played in the movie by an actor who actually looks a little like him, and the real Director made a cameo appearance as an audience member at a concert. I think that a large proportion of the people who went to see the movie today are either connected with the university, or with the Bangkok music scene, or both, because when this guy's face appeared on screen there was a collective "Ooooh" in the theater.

I don't think this movie is likely to be released widely in the U.S., but if you do run across it it's definitely worth seeing.
