BANGKOK, Thailand – Cloud 11 is preparing to become Asia’s next creative hotspot. With support from a diverse creative network featuring production studios, creative spaces, a public park, and a wide range of hands-on workshops and courses, Cloud 11 is now joining forces with 30 well-known partners from Thailand and around the world.
This group includes the New York Film Academy, CJ ENM, leading film and content companies, and big names in music and entertainment like SM True, 88rising, and 1500 Sound Academy. Set to open later this year, Cloud 11 and its partners want to boost Thailand’s creative sector and help local talent reach an international audience.
As part of this initiative, Cloud 11 aims to create an environment that fosters innovation and collaboration, ensuring that local talent thrives in a global marketplace.
Onza Janyaprasert, Chief Executive Officer for Project Development at Cloud 11, explained, “We are seeing more Thai creators get noticed worldwide. Still, the local industry can feel disconnected, and there’s more room for collaboration and better infrastructure.”
He added, “Cloud 11 was built on the idea of helping creators and growing Thailand’s creative industry. It’s more than just a property – it’s turning into the region’s leading content hub. With top facilities, space, and a supportive environment, Cloud 11 connects new creators and experienced professionals. The project is now over 90% finished and on schedule to open its doors by the end of this year.”
Paul Sirisant, Chief Executive Officer of Cloud 11, shared, “Cloud 11 is bringing the ‘Creator Commerce’ idea to life. We’re not just a space for creators – we also give them tools to turn their ideas into businesses. Our facilities support every stage of the creative process, all under one roof. Announcing our partnerships with over 30 key organisations from film, music, and the arts is a big step forward for Cloud 11.
Our partners include the New York Film Academy, CJ ENM, Unformat Studio, T&B Media Global, Beartai, SM True, The Black Sea, 88rising, 1500 Sound Academy, Kantana Sound, Cat Radio, Bangkok Kunsthalle, and Documentary Club. We’re also working with creative community groups like THE LEMON SHOT, Online Station, Floc, and Soho House.”
Paul highlighted, “Both the New York Film Academy and 1500 Sound Academy will open their first Southeast Asian academies at Cloud 11. This shows our shared goal to raise the standard of Thailand’s film and music industries.”
James Fauntleroy, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and co-founder of 1500 Sound Academy, said, “People are the core of the creative world, and everyone has creativity inside them. Artists do best where their creativity is supported and allowed to grow.
Cloud 11’s creative community will help young talent develop into strong voices not just in Thailand, but globally. This partnership is about more than opening an academy – it’s about building a strong foundation for future creative leaders.”
Michael Young, President and CEO of the New York Film Academy, said, “We want to make film education accessible everywhere. Cloud 11 is a great place for our first academy in Southeast Asia, thanks to its studios, equipment, and shared vision for creative growth. We hope this partnership helps new creators show their culture and stories to the world through film.”
