Via Zoom: Writer/Director/Producer Rujanee Mahakanjana of ‘Lab 99’

CHICAGO – Rujanee Mahakanjana continues to evolve. The filmmaker is an atmosphere, which played out in her early works and is proceeding through a film 12 years in the making (“Lab 99”), her founding of a content website (pixquid.com [18]), several projects and a return to the in-person SHORTCUT 100 International Film Fest.

Rujanee Mahakanjana was born in Bangkok, Thailand, and has been in the U.S. since her teenage years. After her first social experimental short “Random Seating” (2007), she completed the documentary “Man and His Erections” and her first feature “Parallel Universe.” Around the same time, she founded Nebula Creatives, and filters her current projects through the L3C production company, which seeks to highlight the whole spectrum of filmmakers and build the ecosystem of Chicago’s indie film community. Their belief is “Creativity is a Human Right.”
