#16 Thailand: Disrupting the video production industry with a 40,000 square foot digital production studio (Linda Lim)
Description
Today in That One Thing, I talk to Linda Lim in her phenomenal studio in Bangkok. I find myself in a cab that starts driving off one of the main roads of the city, and while I am taking a few back roads, I find myself all of the sudden in front of a door branded Studio X. Behind it—a 40,000 square foot compound with a Hollywood-style virtual studio. As she says, “10x bigger than we planned it to be.” When she met her husband Thom, she decided to leave her corporate career behind and become an entrepreneur. A journey that via several businesses brought her from San Francisco, to Myanmar, and now to Bangkok where she co-founded Studio X Beyond—a virtual production studio . Think filming a car commercial where a car spectacularly drives down a huge mountain—all shot from an indoor studio, but produced with a digital background.
With Studio X, she is taking a leap bigger than ever before: trying to disrupt the content creation industry. Today in That One Thing, I talk with Linda Lim, co-founder and CEO of Studio X, about what it is like to try to disrupt such a large and existing industry as that of video production.
