My name is Yanisa Promkaewtor. I am an international student from the north of Thailand at St. Lawrence University. I am a sophomore intending to do double majors in the Digital Media and Film major and the Psychology major. I have been passionate about Film Studies since I was taking a Film International Baccalaureate course in high school. I found cinema as a powerful industry in spreading creativity and stories. I dream of being part of truthful storytelling and promoting an independent cinema. I love exploring and getting to know new cultures. Leaving the places I lived before was always sad, but the new journeys ahead always excite me!
I have gained global understanding by living in a diverse boarding school in Singapore for 2 years and exploring many different countries. I have gathered wide-range of experiences in different workplaces. I worked as a workshop facilitator for a Singaporean plastic recycling organization and supported them in a production part. I volunteered in a Singaporean independent cinema to gain more understanding about independent cinema, watched a variety of independent movies from around the world, and theater operations. Recently, I worked as a content director at an international surf competition called Grom Patrol Khao Lak Surf Festival 2024. Therefore, I am adaptable to new working environments and open-minded to new tasks. I am passionate about films and enthusiastic in learning new things.
