My Oscar-qualifying sapphic short film, "AND THEN" is now available to watch! Set in Tokyo — a story of insomnia, longing, and two women who quietly fall into each other. AND THEN is a poetic exploration of connection when sleep won’t come and love arrives instead.

Stills from my upcoming feature doc - an ethnic Chinese woman’s return to Đà Nẵng, Vietnam, 45 years after the American War. A contemplative journey into a multi-generational diaspora story: first displaced by the Chinese Civil War, then by the War in Vietnam - memory - and the fragility of home.

10/10. This needs to be a part of your holiday rotation.
I love films about found family and character development through learning about different perspectives via time spent together, real human interaction, and realisations, etc. This was so wholesome and bittersweet and had depth. The flavour!

I know it’s a bit contradictory to say this on here but I’m grateful to have lived in a time before social media and today’s technology.

“The Stringer” is on Netflix, an investigative documentary. This is my first Netflix/Sundance credit, with Additional Cinematography!
“A photo editor’s 52-year-old secret sparks a two-year investigation into one of the Vietnam War’s most famous images.”

Last month in London.
As a Vietnamese filmmaker it meant a lot to be a part of this story, the film brings attention to voices and experiences that have historically been marginalized in narratives about the Vietnam War.

While I’m here, a short hair update! I’ve evolved into a 90s anime villain who’s about to put a curse on a sick piece of jewelry.
