Bo Nawacharee, born and raised in Bangkok Thailand, is a writer/director based in Los Angeles and Bangkok working in film and visual storytelling.
Bo’s works tell personal stories with scents of intimacy, identity exploration, and violence. Growing up in different cities around the world, Bo loves to explore the pain and confusion in an ambiguity of identities.
Her graduating film at CalArts, “pieces & bits”, tackles a sexualised and fetishised stereotyping of Thai women, screened at Austin Asian-American film festival and won women empowerment film at New Wave film festival. Her other films depict the commotion of identity and people’s relationships with space, screened and awarded at various international film festival such as Hong Kong Experimental Film Festival, Asolo Art Film Festival, Oaxaca International Film Festival, etc. Along other projects, her first feature is in development and was a part of SGIFF’s SEA Film Lab in 2023.
She was listed on The 2023 Future List by Koktail Magazine, presenting one hundred individuals who contributed to the progress of Thailand. Outside of films, Bo collaborates with artists both locally and internationally such as keshi (Island Records, UMG), Sammi Cheng (Media Asia, Hong Kong), Jay Fung (Media Asia, Hong Kong), and others. She also teaches part-time a Film Aesthetic course at Chulalongkorn University’s Communication Arts programme.
