After a little slow down, Cambodian movie making business is back. Movie theaters started to emerge in the city of Phnom Penh as new movies are releasing. Back in the United States, Cambodian movie making is also taking shape. A production called, RPC, stands for Refugee Production Company, is in the process of rejuvenating Cambodian movie making by using the techniques used by American movie makers.
RPC was founded in May 1997 and is headed by Mr. Sam B. Lorn who is also the writer, director, producer, and the star in the movies that the production had released. Mr. Sam Lorn studied at the New York Film Academy and he had extensive experiences with movie making. Before starting RPC, he was employed by CBS, one of the big television networks in the United States, and also made contributions in such TV show as, “New York Undercover,” and in the movie, “Moving Target”. In January 2000, he started "Forlorn Films," a distribution company for producing and distributing independent films.

The strugglers are an Asian male (a small-time drug dealer) and a Caucasian female (a corporate woman engaged to be married). Seemingly from two different worlds, Sam B. Lorn, as Hackley and Jacquolino Donolli, as Sydney begin to recognize in each other what’s missing in their own lives when their path cross unintentionally”. (Source: http://www.rpcfilms.com)
