An open letter from members of the Thai crew working on Apple TV Plus series “Shantaram” has called on the government to allow production to restart. They accuse the Thai government of …
They accuse the Thai government of hypocritically promoting the country as a destination for runaway productions, all while shutting down the big-budget “Shantaram,” which is produced by Paramount Television and Anonymous Content for Apple TV Plus.
Thailand is currently suffering a third wave of the coronavirus outbreak, with the highest number of cases recorded in Bangkok and neighboring provinces, and still disturbingly low levels of vaccination. The Bangkok city government has responded by ordering another quasi-lockdown, complete with a 9pm curfew and border controls between the metropolitan area and outlying provinces.
“The COVID safety procedures on ‘Shantaram’ have been an example to the world of how a film set can operate safely and efficiently. ‘Shantaram’ employs a world-respected COVID expert to look after safety, who has been making over 1,000 COVID tests a day. Local and international actors are kept in quarantine for the period of their work. Numbers on set are very limited. Social distancing is enforced. Vans can only carry two people. Coaches only carry six people.
The letter explains how Thailand had offered “Shantaram” a 5% production spending rebate in order to secure the shoot. Financial incentives are offered by many countries which count on runaway productions to create employment, improve skills and act as a marketing tool.
