Directed and Content Produced An HBO Program!

I'm honored and proud to have directed and co-produced HBO's APA Visionaries 2020 Virtual Premiere with The Great Company, and am so excited for the world to watch!

The short films by Tiffany So, Thomas Kim, and Johnson Cheng are exceptional and are moving commentaries on Asian American life through different perspectives - all under the theme of "Breaking Barriers."

It was a pleasure working with a talented team to produce and direct this all remotely! Seriously, it was done through Zoom, Open Reel, Slack, and various types of cameras, and mobile devices. So I'm incredibly proud of the show we created considering the circumstances. (Let's just say I'm a pretty experienced Covid director at this point lol)

Plus, it's a really good program! Anna Akana is superb and was a pleasure to work with. Niki puts on a fantastic musical performance to top off the night. Including many more cameos that make this program not only entertaining but also triumphant because it's all Asian Pacific Voices and Faces that adorn the screen so a feeling of pride and hope is felt when watching this show as an Asian viewer.

Tune in on Friday, September 25 at 5PM PST on hbovisionaries.com and be ready for a fun night

My LADIE ONE Video Interview

Earlier this year, I had a fun time filming and documenting artist and dancer, Ladie One, as she painting a mural in North Hollywood for her NoHo Art Walls project.  A collaboration between my brands LA STREET ART GALLERY and STRIFE TV, I was able to capture a dancer and artist at work.  Ladie is not only an incredible bgirl (breakdancer) but also a skilled artist that has meshed her graffiti background with her new found appreciation for street art.  She is also a contestant on the Oxygen Network reality TV show, STREET ART THROWDOWN, which is now airing.  It's great to see artists live their passions unfettered by obstacles or constraints that some self-employed people face.  Much respect for her art as well as her dancing - she's quite the beast in the cypher.
