Ready to wrap! Angelina Jolie is in her element as she jokes with crew while finishing up work on her documentary in Cambodia
She may be a serious artist, but that doesn't mean the work environment has to be.
And while wrapping up the filming of her latest movie in Cambodia the 40-year-old could be seen looking to be in good spirits as she joked with her cast and crew.
The director seems to have formed a tight-knit bond with her crew after three months of filming her Khmer Rouge epic First They Killed My Father.

In good spirits: Angelina Jolie showed off a smile as she chatted with members of her crew while wrapping up filming for upcoming Netflix documentary First They Killed My Father
The documentary - adapted from Cambodian author and human rights activist Loung Ung’s 2000 memoir - is moving into its final stages.
Angelina, who sported a fitted, white, spaghetti strap dress with a flowing skirt, proudly displayed her extensive new back tattoos as she shared jokes and issued orders for filming a refugee camp scene at the foot of the Kulen Mountain in the Siem Reap province.
The Oscar winner also shielded herself from the sun with a tan, wide-brimmed hat, as she could be seen gesturing while giving orders to the crew.
And the star was later spotted donning a flowing, strapless white sundress as she enjoyed a day poolside as the movie came closer to wrapping.

The movie features a largely Cambodian cast and crew, but Angelina has also hired a team of trusted British and American movie-makers as producers, camera operators, and in other high up positions, to ensure the movie is completed to the highest standard.

A few 'hiccups:' A source close to Angelina revealed that things haven't run quite as smoothly as they would have on a Hollywood set, though after a few members of the team were sent home and replaced, things have been going 'incredibly well'
'There was a hiccup around December where some of the crew weren't working out and were subsequently sent home, but they were replaced and the team have been getting on incredibly well since,' the source added.
Angelina has also been getting some extra help on set in the form of her sons Maddox, 14, and Pax, 12, who have been on-hand during the shoot to help out with various production tasks, while Pax has also been taking photos to document the movie-making process.
Angelina has also been immersing herself in the local Buddhist culture while in Cambodia, visiting temples and accompanying her six children – who also include Zahara, 11, Shiloh, nine, and seven-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – as they learn about the culture and customs of their new country.

Angelina has had a number of ancient Buddhist symbols and mantras on her back in a five-row form and a pyramid, symbols to give her power and help protect her family, according to experts able to decipher their meaning.
