Edit request - Film table

Please add "2025 | Alien: Earth" to the Film table, sources: https://www.bangkokpost.com/life/arts-and-entertainment/2829068/minister-visits-alien-film-production-in-thailand and https://www.screenglobalproduction.com/news/2025/05/13/alien-earth-release-date-disney-fx-thailand

Not done: Source says its the "local facilitator" for the film. Can you provide a source saying they produced, financed, etc.? Not sure what a "local facilitator" is or even if its worthy of inclusion. CNMall41 (talk) 19:27, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
Hi again, apologies for the slow response. I wanted to see if I could find any more information and try to confirm some things with Living Films. It seems that there's currently a sort of "information release agreement" in place so the amount of current published information is scarce.
But to answer your question, a "local facilitator" is a local production company that provides local services for a movie production (think local hires, getting the right permits, finding additional locations, catering, etc.).
There is an article on ComingSoon.net that mentions Living Films but refers to it as "Chris Lowenstein production": https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/1406974-fx-alien-series-update-production-resumes-in-early-2024
There is also an article on SuperHeroHype.com that refers to it as "Chris Lowenstein serving as a producer": https://www.superherohype.com/tv/609296-alien-earth-poster-introduces-fx-show-xenomorph-hunters
Mr. Lowenstein is the founder of Living Films and has no other connection to other companies, but I'm not sure if this is "strong" enough to be a source? I understand if it's not. I can share more information that will hopefully directly state the involvement of Living Films once the "information release agreement" has ended. Tetrameles (talk) 05:00, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

Edit requests - Alien: Earth and S.W.A.T.

As you can see on the talk page, I've tried to request edits before but now more reputable sources have been published so I am making another request, along with another for a different show. If there are any adjustments needed in order to get this approved, please let me know. I apologize for any errors in advance; I'm still pretty new to this.

To note again, I am a paid contributor on behalf of Living Films. I have read through Wikipedia's guidelines and intend to keep to its policies, especially about not adding marketing-type content. Please see my user page for more details.

Since there are multiple edits, I'll repeat the template for each.

Edit 1:

  • Specific text to be added or removed:
    Living Films is an international film production company based in Thailand. They have produced feature films, documentaries, commercials, and television series including The Hangover Part II, Shanghai (2010 film), and Changeland. Its most recent projects include the Netflix / BBC TV series The Serpent (TV series), the Netflix film Fistful of Vengeance, Ron Howard’s film Thirteen Lives, and episodes of Disney’s series Ms. Marvel (miniseries).

Edit 2:

  • Specific text to be added or removed: "2024 | Alien: Earth" to the Television table.

Edit requests - Adding co-partner and managing producer

As you can see from the talk page, I've submitted requests before on this page. But to reiterate: I am a paid contributor on behalf of Living Films. I have read through Wikipedia's guidelines and intend to keep to its policies, especially about not adding marketing-type content. Please see my user page for more details.

  • Specific text to be added:
Living Films was founded by Chris Lowenstein in 1996. Lowenstein studied film at Beloit College in Wisconsin and began his career as a production assistant for Gus Van Sant working on the film My Own Private Idaho. He also worked as a production assistant for the Thailand filming of Heaven & Earth in 1993. After similar work with the films Operation Dumbo Drop and The Quest, Lowenstein opened his own production company in Chiang Mai. Living Films produces feature films, commercials, still-photo shoots and television projects. In 2006, during the filming of Bangkok Dangerous starring Nicolas Cage, the ruling government of Thailand was overthrown. In 2013, A fire broke out on the set of No Escape (then called The Coup) starring Owen Wilson, Pierce Brosnan, and Lake Bell. There were no injuries to cast and production had wrapped for the day. The fire was thought to have been caused by faulty power supply.
