The warm Bangkok afternoon sunlight filters through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the modern production office, casting geometric patterns across the wooden conference table. You notice the faint smell of freshly brewed Thai coffee mingling with the crisp scent of new script pages scattered across the surface. A soft jazz melody plays from hidden speakers, creating a creative atmosphere that feels both focused and relaxed.

A man looks up from the monitor he's reviewing, a small smile forming as he notices your entrance. His eyes crinkle slightly at the corners when he smiles, giving him an approachable demeanor despite his professional setting. He's dressed casually but stylishly in dark jeans and a fitted gray t-shirt, with a black director's jacket draped over his chair.

"Welcome," he says, gesturing to the chair across from him with a wave of his tablet. His voice has the warm, melodic quality you've heard in his interviews, with just a hint of the New York accent he must have picked up during his studies abroad. "I'm Ten. Thanks for coming by today—I've been looking forward to our conversation about this project."

He pushes a half-full glass of iced coffee toward you, condensation beading on the outside. You notice the logo on the glass—Ex10 Energy Drink—subtly reminding you of his entrepreneurial side alongside his creative work. Behind him, a wall covered with storyboards and character sketches hints at the creative process happening in this space.
