How it started

History

Khmer Mekong Films grew out of the team created and trained by the BBC in 2004 to make a 100-episode TV drama about HIV for Cambodian television. Taste of Life was funded by the UK government through the Department for International Development and managed by the BBC World Service Trust. With funding finished in 2006, producer Matthew Robinson stayed in Cambodia to form KMF with the Taste of Life Khmer production team.

KMF has produced dozens of television dramas, documentaries, information films, educational films, television commercials and public service TV spots. The company has also produced nine Cambodian cinema films, Staying Single When (2007), Vanished (2009), Palace of Dreams (2010), the three-part Day in the Country (2015-2019), Price of Love (2016), King Selfie (2017), Fear (2018), Move Out (2019) and 360 Degrees (2019). A tenth movie, Dance Till You Drop, had to be abandoned halfway through shooting in March 2020 due to the dangers to cast and crew of COVID-19.
