Garn in Spaceless

Spaceless, a 19-minute film, begins with a somber scene where Garn is in a hospital, and Tul wishes him a speedy recovery. Through flashbacks, we see how the two met as nervous 21-year-olds auditioning for lead roles in a series years ago. This audition sparks a steady professional collaboration between them, and as they grow close, Garn starts to develop unrequited feelings for Tul. Despite their close professional contact, the emotional distance between them begins to widen.

From A Bad Boy To Romantic In Love With A Man Fighting With Himself: Jes Tilapornputt And Bible Wichapas Shine Like Stars In The Sky

Jes Tilapornputt plays a character deeply conflicted between following his heart and pursuing his goals. His portrayal is exceptional, truly doing justice to the complexity of the role. Through his performance, Jes effectively conveys the character's inner turmoil and emotional struggle, drawing the audience into the character's journey. His nuanced and layered depiction highlights the challenges and vulnerabilities faced by someone in such a difficult predicament. Jes's commitment to the role is apparent, making his performance both captivating and memorable.

Bible, known for his acting debut in “KinnPorsche” as the antagonist Vegas Theerapanyakul, transitions from his unhinged ‘bad boy’ character to a soft-romantic role in this short film. He portrays someone experiencing melancholic one-sided love. Despite the film's brief runtime, Jes and Bible exhibit notable on-screen chemistry, making them an intriguing pair.

There are so many ways the film could have ended but the ending leaves you wondering if Garn's love for Tul was actually one-sided.
