“Heartful Gift” Short Film from Chulalongkorn University Campaigns to Spread Eco-Friendly Awareness on Graduation Day 

Chulalongkorn University extends its heartfelt congratulations to all graduates for the academic year 2023 during the Royal Commencement Ceremony from October 2-4, 2024, at the Chulalongkorn University Auditorium. 

In celebration of the graduation ceremony for Chula’s Class of 2023, the university is presenting a short film titled “Heartful Gift” under the theme “Good Gift: The Heart is the Best Gift.” The film encourages everyone to celebrate the graduates modestly by giving practical and useful gifts that benefit both the graduates and the environment. 

“Heartful Gift” is a parody-style short film presented in a vertical format, specifically designed for platforms like TikTok and social media, aimed at reaching Gen Z audiences. The film invites everyone attending the graduation celebration to share smiles and give practical, eco-friendly gifts to the graduates, under the “Good Gift” concept. The story also adds a romantic twist with the character of Hart, a sincere but old-fashioned guy, trying to win over the love of Believe, the female lead, through meaningful gifts. 

The film is produced by Shoryuken Productions, a team behind several award-winning Chula graduation films, such as “Give Smiles, Not Gifts” (2022), “Life of Kwan” (2020), and “The Gift” (2019). This year, they teamed up with director Boy-Theweesak Nimalairat and writer Krisana Jitnaowarat, along with Chula students like Kornrawee Chokchindachai (Dear) from the Faculty of Arts, in her role as “Believe,” and Nuttaporn Leeragreephol (Cream) from the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy, who portrays Believe’s friend. Bhuthip Sukkree (Em), an alumnus of the Faculty of Communication Arts, plays Hart, the male lead. 

Director Boy-Theweesak Nimalairat shared, “Filming ‘Heartful Gift’ was quite a challenge, as we had to shoot 51 scenes in just one day. But thanks to the cooperation of everyone involved, we were able to complete the shoot smoothly and deliver exactly what was planned. The film fulfills Chula’s objectives by promoting meaningful gifts for graduates (Good Gift) and even integrating the concept of bringing personal water bottles to reduce waste on graduation day. I hope this parody film will bring joy to viewers and inspire everyone to give eco-friendly gifts to their loved ones. Thank you.”
