- KUDU Studios
- June 6, 2025
The vibrant landscapes of Cambodia have played host to a truly groundbreaking cinematic achievement, as principal photography for the feature film “Kazakh Vibe” has officially concluded! Indeed, this landmark production marks a significant and historic moment, proudly standing as the FIRST-EVER Kazakh feature film shot in Cambodia!
Consequently, the successful wrap-up not only signifies the completion of a major artistic undertaking but also kickstarts a new era of international collaboration and cultural exchange between Kazakhstan and Cambodia.
Prior to this, Cambodia’s landscapes have long held a mystical appeal, captivating explorers, artists, and filmmakers alike. For decades, Angkor Archeological Park has drawn visitors from across the globe. In fact, this rich history and breathtaking scenery have also graced the silver screen before, most notably with the blockbuster “Tomb Raider” starring Angelina Jolie, which famously showcased the extraordinary beauty of Ta Prohm temple to millions worldwide. This earlier cinematic exposure solidified Cambodia’s image as a land of mystery and adventure, leaving an indelible mark on its cinematic footprint.
Against this backdrop, the journey of “Kazakh Vibe” has been one of immense dedication, cross-cultural synergy, and unwavering commitment to storytelling. From the bustling streets to the serene temples, the film’s production team has meticulously captured the essence of Cambodia, weaving it into a narrative that promises to captivate audiences worldwide.
To commemorate this achievement, a grand celebration was held, honored by the presence of key dignitaries, including H.E. Dr. PHOEURNG Sackona, Minister of Culture and Fine Arts; H.E. HUOT Hak, Minister of the Ministry of Tourism; H.E. Dr. HANG Peou, Director General of APSARA National Authority; and Mr. DI Rado, Deputy Governor of Siem Reap.
It’s an honor to have their presence visiting the set, showing their support, and joining the celebration of this historic moment. Significantly, this is the first project joined by multiple ministers from the Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, the APSARA Authority‘s Director General, and Siem Reap’s Deputy Governor.
From our perspective at KUDU Studios, we are filled with immense pride for the incredible journey we’ve just completed. The success of “Kazakh Vibe” is a direct result of the extraordinary dedication and seamless collaboration between two highly talented teams: our local Cambodian crew and our partners from Kazakhstan. Indeed, from pre-production planning to the final shot, every individual contributed their expertise, passion, and tireless efforts to bring this cinematic masterpiece to life.
Moreover, the intricate logistics of an international production, especially one of this scale, require detailed planning, adaptability, and strong communication. Our team worked hand-in-hand with the Kazakh crew, navigating challenges with professionalism and a shared goal.
The synergy on set was remarkable, demonstrating that when diverse talents unite, exceptional results can be achieved. This collaborative spirit not only ensured the smooth execution of the film but also fostered invaluable learning experiences and cultural exchange amongst the crew members themselves.
With this achievement, we look forward to welcoming more international productions and further establishing Cambodia as a key destination for filmmakers from around the world.
