A love letter to memory and modern-day drift, ‘Zipping Across Another Pond’ is a jittery, intimate slice of one man’s cross-continental wanderlust. Self-shot by and featuring Garett Weston Thomas-Sirijaroonchai, this low-budget travel montage is less postcard-perfect gloss and more a digital scrapbook stitched from moments both fleeting and full.

Filmed during a February 2024 trek through Thailand and Taiwan, this short is unapologetically raw –  edited entirely from personal Instagram reels, repurposed into a vertical 9×16 canvas. This is travel as lived, as shared, as streamed, as casually captured.

Garett and Kittisak Sirijaroonchai don’t narrate. Their language is movement: through airport terminals, passing cityscapes, and across malls – the banal and the beautiful held in equal reverence.

‘Zipping Across Another Pond’ isn’t selling you a destination; it’s sharing a sensation – of transience, of personal discovery, of being everywhere and nowhere at once. It’s the digital age’s version of a travel diary: scattershot, sincere, and deeply subjective.

For those expecting polished drone shots or curated glamour, look elsewhere. But if you’ve ever scrolled through your own phone’s camera roll and felt a pang of homesickness for a place you barely knew – this one’s for you. It’s not a travel film. A flash of Garett’s world, shared without filter. Boldly unpolished, and all the more human for it.
