Komodo Production is proud to announce its first documentary film project – Diesel Heart.
Sharing our first teaser here!
In March 2025, we traveled to Bangkok for a month to explore Thailand’s underground drag racing and vehicle modification culture. Rather than focusing on mechanical specifications or performance stats, our attention was drawn to the people behind the movement – their lifestyles, personal histories and shared wisdom.
With the support of the local team, we tried to manage the never ending chaos around us into a strong visual journey and a valuable cultural imprint. Since filming wrapped, we’ve spent nine months developing and refining the material into a cohesive body of work.
In 2026, Diesel Heart will be released as a multi-format project, including:
- one-hour documentary film
- physical photobook
- original soundtrack album released via Jungle Gym Records

This project is a tribute to identity and the true essence of life.
