Sotho Tan – Managing Director
Sotho established Hanuman back in 1990, in the early days of tourism, having worked as one of the first tour guides in post-war Cambodia. Fluent in French and English, she oversaw the transformation of Hanuman into the success story it is today. She remains actively involved, looking after the French and European markets. Her passion is the arts and Hanuman Fine Arts is a showcase for the finest collection of artefacts in Cambodia. She is also the inspiration behind HanumanAlaya, Angkor’s Boutique Residence. Although not involved in Hanuman Films on a day-to-day basis, she continues to be involved as Managing Director of the Hanuman Group and works tirelessly to obtain filming permissions for major productions.

Kulikar Sotho – Line Producer
We have the most experienced Line Producer in Cambodia in the shape of our co-founder Kulikar Sotho. She has worked as Line Producer on Tomb Raider, the first major film to hit Cambodian shores for more than three decades, as well as countless television documentaries for BBC, Discovery and other leading channels, plus several globally important commercials. Kulikar can take care of all local arrangements in the Mekong region, working the logistics to suit your budget. She can facilitate all filming permissions, all accommodation and transport requirements, temporary import/re-export of equipment and assist with the recruitment of local staff for a variety of roles. Add to that her excellent contacts with leading members of the Cambodian government of all political affiliations and she is a one-woman team who can keep your production on course.

Nick Ray – Location Manager
After working as a journalist and tour leader, Nick hooked up with Lonely Planet in 1998 and has since worked on more than 30 guidebooks, including titles on Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. Our Location Scout Nick Ray also operates as a Location Manager for major productions. He and his team can manage locations all over the region, ensuring the unit gets the job done efficiently and effectively and that the authorities are happy with proceedings. This may be stating the obvious at popular locations in the West, but in the Mekong region, governments and local authorities are still somewhat sensitive about filming and the Location Manager needs to keep them on side throughout the shoot. Nick’s credits include Tomb Raider, Two Brothers, Top Gear Vietnam and countless documentaries for the BBC and National Geographic.

Andy Brouwer – Production Consultant
Cheltenham-born and bred, he made his first trip to Cambodia in 1994. That white-knuckle ride hooked him for life. He upped sticks to Phnom Penh in 2007 after more than thirty years in banking back in the UK to join Hanuman. As well as having a serious interest in temples, books (he’s the editor of the guidebook To Cambodia With Love), and pretty much all things Khmer, he is a lifetime supporter of Leeds United and has an insatiable passion for the music of Steel Pulse and Ennio Morricone. His website www.andybrouwer.co.uk includes his widely-read daily blog. Andy has assisted numerous productions during their research and development phase and sometimes works on the ground with crews specialising in the performing arts. He worked with Winds of Angkor, the first major international musical to feature the Khmer Rouge period.

Kimhean has been with Hanuman for the past five years with responsibilities for transport, guides, contracts and daily operations.
