My friend & one of my first #filmmaking mentors here(Victoria) was Jordan. He's married to one of my Filipino friend's cousins & is a solid human being. Jordan saved me from being scammed & manipulated by shady people in film industry here. He used to loan me gear for free to help support me when I was still in the film industry.

Bangkok Girl is a #DocumentaryFilm that was both produced and directed by Jordan Clark. It's a #LowBudgetFilm, having cost $10,000 to produce, and takes #SexTourism in #Bangkok as its subject.

Bangkok Girl is 43 minutes long and focuses on Pla (full name: Sirirat Rapsithorn), a #bargirl who is 19 years old and who guides Clark through the city. The #DocFilm explores Pla's background and how she came to be where she is. Pla began working as a bargirl at the age of 13, and, while she had managed to avoid being forced into #prostitution up until the point that the documentary was filmed, the film suggests that she will eventually be forcibly prostituted.

In November 2005, the film aired on "The Lens", a program on Canada's #CBC Television. Sweden's #SverigesTelevision also aired the film.

His #documentary on the #Aswang Phenomenon from the #Phillipines

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2ePhqoyLpXQ

"Why did a Canadian make an aswang documentary and create The Aswang Project? The simple answer is because nobody else did. Also, Philippine Mythology is awesome! When I first became interested in Filipino #Folklore back in 2004, I was shocked to find that there was no standardized educational resource for this part of Philippine history. More so, that the information regarding the aswang was inconsistently recycled and scattered. I wished I could find a single resource as a jumping off point to learn more about the history, evolution and societal impacts of the aswang. This is why I made โ€œThe Aswang Phenomenonโ€ documentary.

The documentary was a labour of love and I had no idea how it was going to be received. After a short festival run, the documentary was released to the public on October 31, 2011. Three and a half year on, I canโ€™t express my gratitude to those who have embraced the documentary and shared it with others. It is included in university libraries all over the world and has become a staple in many college courses in the Philippines. It is approaching 2 million views on YouTube and has spawned thousands of online comments and discussions."
