Welcome back to this week's episode of Rising Giants where we have the huge pleasure of speaking with Sok Visal, Founder/Director/and Producer of KlapYaHandz and 802 Films. Visal has been recognized as playing a huge part in the rebirth of Cambodia’s music and film industries having many accomplishments on both as a music and film producer over the past 20 years, founding Cambodia's first Hip Hop, Alternative Music Label KlapyaHandz as well as 802 Film Productions and Mekong Movies to name a few. With so much to discuss about everything Visal has done for the music and film industry in Cambodia, this was hands down one of our favorite episodes learning not only about the past but the exciting developments he has planned for the future.
In the episode, as we dive into:
- Visal’s early life, discussing his time growing up in France and the US before returning to Cambodia in 1993.
- What it took to build a market when there was none in both the music and film industry during the 2000’s.
- How Visal is giving back to the industry by teaching the next generation of Cambodians who have the same fire of passion and determination to be successful in both film and music.
