 * Comment: It's one of the best known names in the local film production service industry, but I'm finding it hard to identify in-depth coverage beyond passing mentions. This conference paper (full proceedings) includes the following passages:"Living Films, De Warrenne Pictures, and Benetone Films are among Thailand‘s leading film production service companies. They have been involved in the majority of most expensive foreign films shot in Thailand.""Benetone Films (2016) provides film production and film production services, directors and cinematographers, and operates in Thailand and the U.S. Since 2003 the company has been involved in the making of more than 80 films, many of them Bollywood romance and action films, and 800 TV commercials. Indian films line produced by Benetone Films include Bombay to Bangkok (India 2008), Golmaal Returns (India 2008), Toonpur Ka Superhero (India 2010), and Ek Ta Tiger (India 2012). It also produced films such as A Stranger in Paradise (USA 2013), Pernicious (USA 2014), Ghost House (USA 2016), and several more."This paper says,"There are small numbers of movie production companies in Thailand. The notable  movie  production  companies  are Benetone  Films,  Five  Star  Production,  GDH  559,  Kantana Group,  Phranakorn  Film,  and  Sahamongkol  Film.  BenetoneFilms  is  a  creative  film  and  TV  production  and  production services company headquartered  in Bangkok, with offices in the US, Europe, India, and Myanmar. It has been ranked the leading service provider in Thailand."There's more in the press that specifically concerns its joint venture Benetone Hillin Entertainment, so redirecting/merging there should be considered if the stand-alone article is not kept. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:50, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails GNG, NCORP. Source eval:
 * "Production: Pernicious" (PDF). Film in Thailand. Thailand Film Office.	A promotional flyer
 * "Thai Mafia Thriller A Stranger in Paradise, With Collin Egglesfield and Stuart Townsend, to Hit Theaters 2/14".	No information about subject
 * "Screen Daily". MBI, Ltd.	Promotional, interview quotes, about a film director not the subject. Not SIGCOV
 * "IMDB - Benetone Hillin Lines Up Oliver Storm".	IMDB is not a source for notability
 * "Benetone Hillin lines up Oliver Storm".	Promotional, press release type paragraph about a film director, not the subject. Not SIGCOV
 * None of the sources above are SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. Before showed mentions in promotional material and film databases, nothing SIGCOV.  // Timothy :: talk  04:49, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
