Biography
Template:BLP unreferenced section Yuthlert Sippapak was born on November 8, 1966, in Loei, Thailand. He graduated from Silpakorn University, with a bachelor's degree in interior design. He then went to study at The Art Student League of New York and learned to be a filmmaker by reading books in Barnes & Noble bookstore.[1] Sippapak returned to Thailand in the 1990s to develop his film career.[2]
He began his film career screenwriting for O-Negative (Roothum 1998) before transitioning to directing. His directorial debut was the 2001 film Killer Tattoo, a low-budget independent production that was initially overlooked by mainstream audiences and critics.[3]

His 2011 action-comedy Friday Killer (Thai: Meu Puen Dao Prasook) won the Jury Prize and the award for Best Cinematography at the 2011 Shanghai International Film Festival.[5] It is the first part of hitman trilogy Meu Puen 3 Pak, followed by Saturday Killer (Thai: Meu Puen Dao Prasao) and Sunday Killer (Thai: Meu Puen Pra-athit).[6]
