Chaya Supannarat is a Thai-American writer, director, and producer known for her work in action and thriller films. Born and raised in Thailand, she was immersed in the film industry from an early age, growing up on movie sets under the influence of her mother, a renowned casting director. She later pursued her passion academically, earning an MFA in Screenwriting from California State University, Northridge, while simultaneously producing two feature films. Chaya has directed and produced several action-driven projects, including Bangkok Dog and Gladiator Underground, which are recognized for their physical intensity and emotional depth. With a sharp eye for practical stunt work and grounded storytelling, she brings a dynamic energy to genre cinema. She is also drawn to the psychological and emotional potential of horror. Influenced by her cultural roots and a fascination with the unseen, Chaya is now exploring deeply personal themes through a darker, more atmospheric lens-adding a new layer to her evolving directorial voice.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
