‘Those That Follow’ marks the return of the director to filmmaking after a gap of four years and is described as a “hallucinatory tale of karmic revenge”.

The 20-minute short film follows two teenagers who are on the run following a robbery gone wrong. They hide at a local ghost mask festival. But the two soon realise that while they can hide from humans, there is something they cannot hide from no matter how hard they try.

Like his previous films, Wongpoom ensured that ‘Those That Follow’ is rooted in Thai culture. Described as a film based on true events, the theme follows a local Thai belief known as ‘Phi Ta Khon’, or ghosts following people. The belief is part of a tradition in northeastern Thailand, where the film is set.

Wongpoom filmed in low-light conditions using the Apple iPhone 13 Pro, which can shoot in Dolby Vision up to 4K at 60 fps. Commenting on the phone’s filiming capabilities, he said that it is “an experiment to show the world what we can do and inspire future filmmakers to make their own films.”

“iPhone 13 Pro can capture visuals in low light, revealing details in that darkness. When we hid scary elements or ghosts in the shadows we could still capture it all in excellent quality and allowed us to tell the story that we wanted,” said Wongpoom.

To make the experience unique, Apple plans to promote the film on a dedicated billboard at Sathorn Unique, Bangkok’s most iconic abandoned building located in the heart of the capital.
