Cloud 11 Collaborates with 30 Global Partners to Establish itself as Asia's New Creative Destination & Elevate Thailand's Creative & Entertainment Industry
Mr. Onza Janyaprasert, Chief Executive Officer of Cloud 11, said, "We see a growing number of talented Thai creatives gaining international recognition. However, at the same time, the industry remains fragmented with opportunities to strengthen collaboration and infrastructure."
"Cloud 11 was born from a clear vision – to empower creators and drive the growth of Thailand's creative industry. More than just a property project, Cloud 11 is now emerging as the region's most comprehensive content hub. It offers not only space, infrastructure, and world-class facilities, but also a dynamic ecosystem that connects creators of all levels, from emerging talents to established professionals. Currently, Cloud 11 is over 90% complete and on track for soft opening by the end of this year."
Mr. Paul Sirisant, Managing Director of Cloud 11, said, "Cloud 11 is visualizing the 'Creator Commerce' concept, by positioning itself as both a creative space and a commercial platform where creators can bring their ideas to life and grow them into revenue-generating ventures. Our comprehensive creative facilities will support them in every stage, from upstream to downstream, all in one place. Today marks another important milestone for us as we officially announce partnerships with over 30 leading Thai and international organizations from various industries. These include renowned names in film and content production such as the New York Film Academy, Unformat Studio, T&B Media Global, and Beartai; music and entertainment powerhouses like SM True, CJ ENM, The Black Sea, 88rising, 1500 Sound Academy, Kantana Sound, and Cat Radio; as well as cultural and art institutions like Bangkok Kunsthalle and Documentary Club. We also partner with creator-focused and creative community organizations such as THE LEMON SHOT, Online Station, Floc, and Soho House."
"Notably, the New York Film Academy - a world-renowned institution in acting, film, and creative media arts - and the globally respected 1500 Sound Academy will each launch their first academy in Southeast Asia at Cloud 11. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to bringing Thailand's film and music industries to the next level," Mr. Paul added.
Mr. James Fauntleroy, the singer-songwriter who has won four Grammy Awards and a co-founder of 1500 Sound Academy, said about his institute's decision to partner with Cloud 11 that, "People are at the heart of the creative industry, and creativity flows within everyone. The best place for artists is where their creativity is not only welcomed but also actively nurtured to reach its full potential. I believe Cloud 11's creative ecosystem will be a launchpad for the next generation, empowering young talents to become key forces in not just Thailand's but also the world's music scene. Here, creativity knows no limits. This collaboration is more than just the opening of an academy; it is the laying of long-term foundations for building the 'human capital' of the future."
Mr. Michael Young, President and CEO of New York Film Academy, said about his institute's partnership with Cloud 11, which will host his institute's first training and workshop in Southeast Asia, "The New York Film Academy is committed to making film education accessible to students around the world. We chose to launch our first academy in Southeast Asia at Cloud 11 because it not only offers world-class studios, modern equipment, and cutting-edge film technology, but also shares our vision of empowering the next generation of creators through access to meaningful learning and development opportunities. We truly hope that this collaboration will help unlock creative potential and provide a platform for emerging creators in the region to express their perspectives, cultures, and identities—through the language of film—to audiences around the world."
Cloud 11's Creative Ecosystem embraces the following concepts:
Upstream: Talent Development
Cloud 11 aims to cultivate top talent for the creative industry through its academy, where learning, skill development, and capability building are promoted and nurtured. Creators will have access to workshops and programs offered by Cloud 11's world-class partners such as the New York Film Academy and 1500 Sound Academy.
Midstream: Creative Production

It features a flexible air-conditioning system and super high-speed internet connectivity. In addition, Creator Village tenants receive one Creator Credit token for every square meter rented. Tokens can be redeemed for the use of studios and exhibition space.
Downstream: Value Creation

Open Box Theatre, with seating for 200 people, is ideal for debut performances by emerging artists. Cloud 11 Hall, with a capacity of up to 3,000 people, is a multifunctional venue that can host concerts, e-sports and expos. Art Exhibitions and Galleries offer dedicated spaces for artistic displays. Moreover, Cloud 11 has prepared Passion Playground for creators to transform their creative concepts into storefront businesses, ensuring every shop receives the spotlight it deserves. Cloud 11 Park, meanwhile, is designed not just as a recreational space but a vibrant park for exhibitions, events, and other creative activities throughout the year.
"Cloud 11 isn't just for creators or organizational content producers, it's for everyone who believes in the power of creativity. From budding artists, marketers and brand owners to creative enthusiasts and people looking for inspiration, Cloud 11 is a hub that fuels creativity and turns ideas into reality. And We believe that advancing Thailand's creative industry forward requires industry-wide collaboration. That's why Cloud 11 continues to seek and welcome partners who share our vision of bringing the Thai creative and entertainment industry to a global stage," Mr. Paul concluded.
Cloud 11 is now over 90% complete. With structural construction fully finished, the project is now undergoing interior decoration phase. Schedule to launch at the end of 2025, Cloud 11 will soon unveil a new immersive experience through Cloud 11 Park—Bangkok's largest rooftop park and a new green landmark in the heart of South Sukhumvit.

'Aankhon ki Gustaakhiyan' Review: Shanaya Kapoor, Vikrant Massey's film loses sight of script
There are different ways of making a love story. You can either choose a fun, frothy tale, perfect for a date night. Or you can go the other extreme with a tragedy that makes you shed tears for the trials and travails of the leads. Or you can make an epic saga with deep sweeping emotions that linger long after you leave the theatres. And then there is another variety - a movie that takes itself way too seriously, thinking it's great, deep, romantic, lingering etc etc when in reality it's an exercise in lack of self-awareness. This week's release Aankhon ki Gustaakhiyan belongs to the last category. The film spotlights an odd pair. She (Shanaya Kapoor), the latest product of nepotism. He (Vikrant Massey), the quintessential 'outsider' who has finally found his spot in Bollywood boulevard after years of brilliant performances. Together, they weave… nothing. Let's address the obvious first: the main buzz around this film stems from the debut of yet another starkid. Given the endless debates about nepotism in Bollywood, Shanaya's launch inevitably comes with its share of curiosity and scrutiny. So let's tackle that elephant in the room right away. Shanaya has a pleasant screen presence and potential. She comes across as confident, is well-styled and navigates her role, fairly well. Perhaps if the plot, screenplay and direction had more meat, we could judge her more accurately. And that brings us to the plot. Aankhon ki Gustaakhiyan has the most bizarre storylines I have seen in recent times. Now, there is nothing wrong with strange plots, after all, it's the treatment that makes you buy into it. There are two inspirations behind this project. The title is an ode to the melodious song from the Sanjay Leela Bhansai classic Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and the story is an adaptation of the delightful Ruskin Bond fable (duly credited, thankfully!) The Eyes Have it in which the protagonist hides his partial blindness from a pretty girl he encounters in a train only to realise she is blind herself. The film takes this thin storyline to craft a narrative that is frankly, implausible. Shanaya plays Saba Shergill, an aspiring actor who feigns blindness and takes a train trip to Mussoorie, ostensibly to get away from the city and 'practise' for an audition. In other words, she is like the female Ayushmann Khurrana from Andhadhun who wants to 'feel' the role she hopes to bag. During the journey, she meets Jahaan, a visually impaired man who is suffering from musician's block. Then begins some really questionable behaviour by Saba which should serve as a warning signal to all Indian girls. She travels with a blindfold (question: couldn't she have started play-acting after reaching her destination?) She makes a nuisance of herself to Jahaan, seeks his support at every turn (when he is a total stranger), pleads with him to let her stay in his hotel (when she has no clue of who or what he is!) and then requests him to let her sleep on his bed. I can't think of one modern sensible Indian girl who would get into such silly risks to get some real-life training for a role! Luckily for Saba, Jahaan is a decent guy though he hides his condition from her. The first half follows the duo as they fall in love with each other with Saba inexplicably continuing her blindfolded act even when they get intimate and Jahaan evading her questions about his life or intentions. When the moment for the big reveal comes, predictably, Jahaan, fuelled by his own fears, scoots. The action then shifts to 'somewhere in Europe' (that's what the text on screen mentions; I guess the makers didn't get permission to name the location they shot in) where Saba is now an accomplished theatre actor, performing a play with her new boyfriend Abhinav (Zain Khan Durrani). Needless to say, Jahaan re-enters her life, and then it's all about how they see (pun unintended) and find each other. The message director Santosh Singh wants to convey is clear: this love is not about physicality but the soul where looks don't matter. In a day and age of instant hookups and quick breakups, that's a noble thought. However, it takes forever to reach the conclusion and you really don't feel anything for the characters whose motivations remain unclear. Just what is it that makes Saba and Jahaan fall for each other? What is the context for their behaviour? Why not just be honest with each other when there was no need to hide facts? Why doesn't Saba recognise Jahaan's voice when she meets him years later? Why include an utterly silly 'date rape drug' angle to finally get some harsh truths out? The script, credited to Mansi Bagla, Niranjan Iyengar, and Santosh Singh, aims for a 'conversational' tone, with the leads engaging in long, introspective chats meant to reveal their inner worlds and draw us into their emotional orbit. It's clear that the film aspires to be spontaneous, romantic and philosophical even while tapping into the longing, wistfulness, and quiet ache that unresolved love can stir. Think the ' Before' trilogy, which captured this mood with poetic precision. Unfortunately, the flat writing lacks the rhythm needed to make the conversations touch your heart or senses. You watch their shenanigans played out in picture-postcard locations without feeling anything for them. Part of the problem is also the utter lack of chemistry between Vikrant and Shanaya. Vikrant is an accomplished actor but he looks out of sorts in a romantic, candy floss-ish drama. He tries to bring depth to a role that doesn't have any. Shanaya has made the effort and it shows. Once again, like most glamorous Bollywood leading ladies, her perfectly made up face and coiffured hair robs her Saba of any authenticity. I was too busy admiring her stunning wardrobe and lip colour to be affected by her performance. Every other supporting actor, be it Abhinav or a know-it-all aunt Noor, flits in and out without making any impact. Rating: 2 stars

OPEC forecasts $10.6tn in oil investments by 2040 to secure global energy stability
The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) warns that the oil sector will need $10.6tn in new investments by 2040—and up to $18.2tn by 2050—to meet rising global demand and maintain market stability, according to its 2025 World Oil Outlook (WOO). OPEC Secretary-General Haitham Al Ghais stresses that while transitioning to cleaner energy remains essential, the world must also shore up oil and gas infrastructure. He said that safeguarding energy security and achieving climate objectives will depend on balanced policies that cover all energy sources and technologies. He highlights the need to strengthen efforts in low-carbon solutions and to expand carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) under a circular-economy framework. Opec oil demand forecasts Key drivers shaping the next two decades include: Rising demand in non-OECD Asia: Oil consumption outside the OECD—led by Asia, notably China—is projected to increase by 21.4 million barrels per day by 2040, driven largely by petrochemicals and aviation Carbon capture and low-carbon solutions: OPEC calls for accelerated investment in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) as part of a circular-economy approach to minimize emissions. US shale plateau: Unconventional production is expected to peak by the mid-2020s before declining, creating new market space for traditional producers.
