Chantana Tiprachart is an Isaan (Northeastern) person by birth. She spent her younger days in Kalasin before continuing her higher study majoring in Communication Arts, Advertising and Marketing Communications at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Burapha University. Tiprachart’s interests are in movies about social issues and cultures that convey thoughts and beliefs of the people in search of identities, which are specific to each area. These interests drive Tiprachart to finally find the deeply-rooted social-related problems where she uses filmmaking to provoke conversations in hope for the people to mutually live and understand one another.

Tiprachart started the film Nha-Harn which was released in theatres in Thailand and Laos on May 9th, 2019. It talks about culture, ways of life, teenagers’ belief in Morlam, a traditional style of Isaan music. Besides Nha-Harn, Tiprachart has been involved in many social-related movies e.g. feature film The Otherness which was selected as Artist in Residency in the Objectifs Film Residency, Singapore (Thailand, 2015). She co-directed the movie Motel Mist directed by Prabda Yoon (Thailand, 2015), and also co-directed Ten Years Thailand: Sunset directed by Aditya Assarat (Thailand, 2017).

Tiprachart is currently based in Bangkok where she works as a producer for TV series and dramas at GMM Studios International. She is also pre-producing her third feature film set to release in 2020.
