Company profile

Only One But Rat Film Production was established by Myo Thar Khin in 2019 and produced his debut short film 1/4 wasted. The production members share the same common vision: portraying the life of Myanmar new generation in their own written films. We focus on telling contemporary stories about youth from different social classes in Myanmar, while keeping our own personal style in filmmaking. Our studio has produced six short films within these two years and many of them won awards at Wathann Film Festival, which is a wellknown local film festival. Eventually after those first successful experiences, we feel ready to step into the international scene with our first feature length film.
