Nope, I've always wanted to watch it though. Bong Sophea has a beautiful voice though, glad that she was chosen to act as Sothea

i heard it since a long time now, like 2 years but still no news for this one.
Same here... Not to be mean or anything, but I don't want to buy this movie and it wasn't a good movie.. I'm sorry but sometimes Khmer movie aren't good.. The only Khmer I ever liked was Pdae La Al and Poum Kom Ptah Kamout(Earlies 90s)..

Well since the director is from the States, their standards should be different from other Khmer movies. I'll have to agree with you that Khmer series/movies aren't good. They lack originality and creativity with their storylines to keep the audience intrigued. They always dubb over the voices which makes everything sound fake and unrealistic. They tend to incorporate unnessary violence ex. the mother in law beating the crap out of her daughter in law, the use of the words "haeng" "ang". Iunno khmer movies just come out bad. lol. Not trying to diss my people here but it's just the truth.

Pdey Laor is probably one exception. It had a story, good concepts and morals and the acting on the overall was pretty decent. Can't say the same for other Khmer films.
 
I saw this and it's pretty good...it's directed by two American guys who chanced upon Ros Sereysothea's music and were fascinated by her story. The whole movie was filmed on a lot in Los Angeles, but I couldn't tell; it's pretty high quality/high budget. The acting is really good too. You should know though that this is a short film; it's only about 25 minutes. I recommend seeing it though.

25 minutes? wow I thought it'd be like an hour or so. Thanks for your inputs thai-lakorn-fan-forever :) One of these days, I'll hope to watch this film.
