As I finalize sound and music for Breakdown, I wanted to share some of the behind the scene photos. The weekend on set still feels like a dream. A dream because I can't believe we pulled off the production with the small cast, crew, and budget that we had. It was because of everyone's time, creativity, and effort that we put together something sad and beautiful all the while having fun throughout it all. As I continue with filmmaking, I realized that much like anything worth doing, it relies on a mixture of hard work, passion, and luck.

Thank you to everyone involved, it all felt like a dream.

Foreign Home: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (2017)

Finding the right words buried under two and a half decades of assimilation proved to be difficult. Perhaps it was my accent, my child-like vocabulary, or maybe everything about me was foreign to this place I thought of as home.

Being in Ho Chi Minh city after 11 years since my last visit feels different yet the same. The skyline has given birth to more towers seeking to touch the sun. Wealth has found itself in the pockets of the Vietnamese people yet has forgotten many others. Even with these progressions, much of the city has stayed the same. It’s inhabitants working day by day, to live, to provide for the future. Street vendors beginning their work before the sun wakes or never having stopped to begin with. Construction workers laboring under a feverish heat, finding solace in the brief moments of wind and rain. Citizens working well into old age, doing work meant for much younger bodies.

This place is rich in its traditions and superstitions. People having muted conversations with those that have long left the world. Hands clasped, with pulsating ember, the hopeful pray. Wishing for health, wealth, and whatever might be. I see a country with hope, hope for a future that’s better than what most experienced in the past. The hardships, turmoil, and labor that bled into the soil that grows bounty. It’s a country in search of identity and ownership, both of which have been unknown.

Changwon (2016-2017) chapter from my photo book Impermanence

Excerpt:
Change is inevitable, hoping for permanence is like trying to hold onto the sands in an hourglass. Despite the strongest grip, grains will always pass through the cracks in our hands. The hourglass continues on. These are the grains that fell.

Thanks so much to everyone involved! Still can’t believe we created something so chaotic in such an organized way with a small team.

Took a quick snapshot during a dress fitting this past weekend.

I’ll be filming my next short film in the few days. Excited and anxious about the scale of the project, but anxious is good. Anxious means I’m doing something new and there’s something to learn. It means I’m moving in the right direction.

Hope to share more after this weekend!
