Best Project Award – Inspiring Asia Micro Film Festival 2025

Thankful for the opportunity and for Bench with Ears by Sati to be recognized during the Grand Finals of Inspiring Asia Micro Film Festival 2025 in Singapore and receiving the Best Project Award.

A dream project since 2019! Thank you to Theerapat Ungsuchaval from Thailand Institute for Mental Health Sustainability for the support in making this project possible, JudPakJai for seeing the potential of this project and Ghost Cat team for making a meaningful short film for the project 🩵

Thank you to Sati team and volunteers for making this happen and believing in the mission! Especially to Kanyarat (Mint) Puangpai for not losing hope in the project and constantly having a can do attitude with all the difficulties we face!

All the featured films featured truly reflected the current state of our global mental health, pressure that the youth are facing, and the urgent need to increase better understanding and investment into mental health. This has showcased how important storytelling together with lived experience is.

A great opportunity to have also met so many other friends and colleagues in the field! 😄

Thank you to Li Foundation ECCA Family Foundation Rockefeller Brothers Fund ENLIGHT FOUNDATION Mental Health Innovation Network (MHIN) many others for making this possible!
