Flashback to over a year ago when we shot a promo

Flashback to over a year ago when we shot a promo video for @drqla.jpg

Thank you again for having me be part of your musical and creative journey.

Memories like footprints in the snow come spring.

Fingers crossed for the road ahead. Even if it goes nowhere, at least we can say we tried and that we made our ideas into a reality with light, time, sound and a lot of hard work, together.

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!

NEXT TIME

Here’s a feel good movie just in time for the holiday season!

Made a "fun" and quick short film for a 72 hour film challenge. We had 72 hours to write, produce, film, and edit a short film based the theme "be a hero."

We approached the theme with the idea of the sacrifices one may have to make in their personal lives in service to others. Hope you enjoy.

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

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.

Ain't no party like a Wong Kar Wai themed party because a Wong Kar Wai themed party... aims to encapsulate the overbearing loneliness that exists within ourselves as we seek love and connection within a densely populated metropolis all the while feeling ever distant from society because of such pursuits.

All jokes aside, I guess it's a skill to make any fun event photographically appear sad and melancholic.

Never been featured on an event poster as a photographer before 😅
Humbled and flattered that I am 😁🙏🏻

Can’t wait to see what @qna.la has in store. Exhilarated that I get to capture the night with light and time.

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.

Cut together a little teaser trailer for Breakdown

Cut together a little teaser trailer for Breakdown. What do you think the short film is about based on it?

With this, it'll be the last bit of stuff about Breakdown for a while. I won't be posting the short film online anytime soon since I'll be trying my luck at submitting them to film festivals. Let's see where this road goes, wish me luck!

A few months back I participated in an 72 hour filmmaking challenge with @sameseanniulook @jennkhoe @anupamsharmauk @rickytongmusic

From the music, you can tell that I have made yet another slap-stick comedy. Hoping to share it soon.
