Sukunya (Suki) Wangsomnuk - Director /Producer / Editor / Music Composer
Born in Bangkok, Thailand, Sukunya began her career there in music as a artist for indie record labels.
To explore more opportunities in entertainment, she moved to Los Angeles. She interned at a small film production company, where she discovered her love for all the creative elements that have to come together to make a good film. By the following year, she was co-producing small documentaries, as well as editing them. She has worked on numerous music videos, independent features, short films and reality TV shows.
While working with Todd Kellstien, the Director of the documentary, “Buffalo Girls,” she was inspired to create a documentary that allowed her to combine her love of filmmaking with her love of cooking. And “Cooking With Love” is the delicious result.
