00:00I just got a call from the director during COVID, during the lockdown period.
00:07He was like, I have this kind of, he just, he gave me a synopsis.
00:13And I was really hooked in.
00:15It's about Buddhism in Thailand and how corrupt it is.
00:19You know, it's, I mean, the religion by itself is not corrupted,
00:23but people who are running it are the ones that are corrupt.
00:27And we want to tell the stories about these people, you know,
00:31and we just want to make a film about how to make people questions,
00:37how to make things transparent.
00:39Because, you know, the director himself is a kind of very practitioner as well for Buddhism.
00:45So he went to the temple, you know, and he started raising a question.
00:49How can we make it more transparent?
00:52You know, how you donate money more transparent?
00:54How can people raise the questions that things should be as it is rather than being opaque?
01:05So after having listened to that, I was like, okay, let's do it.
01:10Because it's really, really good intention as well.
01:14So that's how the project started.
01:17Kind of good learning curve for me as well,
01:18because I see a lot of mechanics that I've never seen before in religion as well.
01:23How people donate and they get tax deduction,
01:27and then so they add the zero without actually paying for it.
01:31And nobody's really looking to it.
01:33You know, that's kind of mind-blowing as well.
