For his feature film career, Koraphat received a project development grant from Content Lab: Newcomers 2024 in Central Thailand, collaborating with his university peer Warat Burephakdee, who serves as his producer, and senior Hesome Chemamah. They are currently developing the project and seeking funding for their feature film. He also participated in the Incubator Lab by CutByCut Studio alongside Warat Burephakdee for another feature film in development. Koraphat plans to actively pursue funding for his feature films after graduation. At the end of 2024, he will present his personal short film The Sun Never Sets, which will be featured in the Special Program: Film Crew 2024 (คนกอง 2567) at the 28th Thai Short Film & Video Festival. This work brought him back to his hometown of Sattahip, where he reconnected with his childhood self. The experience later inspired the development of Ashes and Echoes, a film that explores Sattahip and his formative years more deeply. In 2025, he received a Special Mention Prize for Thai Short Pitching with Ashes and Echoes.
