FILMING IN THAILAND (exclusive stories from behind the scenes)

Making it in Thailand as a foreigner tells Eoin O' Brien in this highlight of his episode of Filming in Thailand.

Eoin is best known for his pivotal role in the film Kiss of the Con Queen, which draws directly from his personal experiences with a notorious Hollywood scam. This scam, involving an impersonator posing as a film producer, had profound impacts on him and other industry professionals. Eoin's recounting of these events provides a unique insight into the darker sides of the entertainment industry.

During the podcast, Eoin shares his journey from Ireland to Thailand, his transition into the Thai film scene, and how these experiences enriched his acting and writing career. He discusses his roles in notable films such as The Last Full Measure (2019) and Never Back Down: No Surrender (2016), detailing the cultural nuances and logistical challenges he faced while filming in Thailand. His stories highlight the unique opportunities that the Thai film industry offers to foreign actors, providing a fresh perspective on global filmmaking.

Moreover, Eoin delves into the creation of Kiss of the Con Queen, explaining how his unfortunate encounter with the Hollywood scam inspired him to write and star in this film. Directed by Tom Waller, the movie features a cast including Patrick Bergin and Ravi Patel, and it turns Eoin's harrowing ordeal into a compelling narrative.

Throughout the podcast, Eoin reflects on the therapeutic process of transforming personal trauma into a creative expression, and how it ultimately allowed him to take control of his narrative and achieve his dream of playing a lead role in a major film. This episode not only explores Eoin's film career but also his resilience and creative spirit in the face of adversity.
