For co-showrunner Dana Ledoux Miller, creating a series based on the 2018 Thai cave rescue meant centering those who were most affected: the 12 boys, their families and their coach.
Sasidis Sasisakulporn/NetflixNang Non — the “Great Cave of the Sleeping Lady” — became a global phenomenon in 2018 when it flooded unexpectedly and a local junior soccer team became trapped inside for over two weeks. People all over the world were glued to their screens, waiting for any and every update on how these 12 boys and their coach could get out of this situation alive.
Congratulations on bringing this incredible story to life in such a beautiful way and also on this milestone of being the first Pasifika woman showrunner in Hollywood. What does that mean to you?It’s a huge deal. I can’t believe it hasn’t really happened before me. I’ve been working a really long time to try to get into positions where I can help other Pasifika writers and creators tell stories and get into rooms.
After hearing their stories and also just seeing how well adjusted and normal the kids are now after going through such a harrowing experience, Michael and I realized we just wanted to dig deeper into that.
For any outsiders, consultation and collaboration is necessary and the key to that is trust. What is it that helped you gain that trust? Then our acting coach Kookai [Rangsima “Kookai” Ittipornwanich]. Kookai is the most incredible acting coach I’ve ever worked with. She’s really in demand in Thailand and she was there every day with those boys. She worked with them ahead of time, creating an acting camp for them. They were all sequestered at the same hotel throughout shooting and they became this family. I can’t overstate how talented she is but also what an incredible person she is and how much she cared about the project.
