Gdh plans to acquire three to four international films per year.
Bangkok-based Gdh 559 has acquired Celine Song’s Past Lives from A24, which it will release theatrically in Thailand as its first non-Thai film.
Gdh is expanding into the theatrical distribution of international features through new business unit Out Of The Box. The US romantic drama, which proved one of the most critically lauded selections at this year’s Sundance and Berlinale, will be released in Thai cinemas on July 6.
The Korean and English-language drama centres on childhood friends who reunite in New York two decades after one family emigrated from South Korea.

Streaming giant Netflix has picked up worldwide rights to “Ghost Lab,” a supernatural thriller about experiments that cross the boundaries between life and death. Production was by Gdh 559, the Thai studio behind the “Bad Genius” hit film and the Netflix adapted series of the same name.
“Ghost Lab” is directed by Goff” Paween Purijitpanya. It stars “Tor” Thanapob Leeratanakachorn, “Ice” Paris Intarakomalyasut and “Nychaa” Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich.
“ ‘Ghost Lab’ is a bold, original film from the brilliant mind of director Paween Purijitpanya and an incredible Thai cast and crew,” said Malobika Banerji, Netflix’ director of content in Southeast Asia.
“The storyline is quite unconventional, because it attempts a deeper exploration of our belief in the supernatural, and whether this can be proven by science,” said Purijitpanya. “I hope this movie will encourage the audience to contemplate their ways of life and find the answers to their questions.”
