Way back in October, I spent a week on the road with Visit the USA making tourism videos for the great State of Missouri. We drove all along Missouri's Route 66 and stopped in Joplin, Pulaski County and Springfield, making a total of 5 videos in our short time there!

I met some great people along the way, and collaborated with videographer/photographer Amon Focus to make this project the best it could be. Now I'm happy to announce that Visit the USA has unveiled the first video for Joplin, Missouri. Watch and like it below!

And visit my Travel Blog to watch more videos, read my accompanying articles, and see where else I've been! The only question is: Where to next?

Let's reflect! I haven't had too much time to write an in-depth post... but it's worth the wait because I've been up to a lot of fun stuff over the past few months. You'll see me posting about my amazing short film LEAP (Teaser Trailer), about a young woman from a history of abuse who has decided to kill herself, until she is interrupted by someone from her past. It was written by Jamie Miller, directed by Marlo Bernier and shot by Chris Vongsawat. You'll also see me posting more about my adventures across the States with my travel video/blog Visit the USA.

But today, I wanted to share a short film called We're Only Here To Help: An Ambush because it was such a fun project and it turned out to be a really dynamic single take. All 6 minutes and 40 seconds of it are done in one single, solitary shot. The team was amazing! Keep an eye on the choreography and movement.

So excited to be on Asians Doing Everything -- a unique blog that celebrates the work of Asians and Pacific Islanders. I was lucky enough to be featured on October 30th, 2015.

It's been over a month since I wrote anything in my blog, so I figured it was worth an update. This month has been busy! I've started doing post-production at Authentic Entertainment as a Story Assistant, which has been educational and rewarding, albeit time-consuming. As for acting and filmmaking -- that's obviously where most of my focus has been. From 4 days of callbacks and chemistry reads at NBC, to festivals and filmmaking… it's been real.

First off, Wedlocked (starring myself and Christina Jun) screened at the Sacramento International Film Festival (coincidentally, where Dreamer in Exile screened in 2013), and will be returning to Sacramento for the Sacramento Asian Pacific Film Festival at the end of the month. Apparently, Sacramento's hot for Wedlocked.

On the way back from Sacramento to Los Angeles, I was also able to shoot a short film starring Jamie Miller for the This Is New - Short & Sweet Film Competition. I love these types of competitions because they force you to exercise your craft in a very spontaneous way. And if we win, we could get $1000 which we would put towards our upcoming project written by Jamie Miller and produced by Kill the Pig Productions. So check it out and please vote! It's called Mother's Day.

Also, I just watched a sneak preview of the amazing video from my work trip to Utah, and I can't wait for it to go live on Discover America. Check back soon for more updates!

Man... working for the State can be rough... for some people. Fortunately, I had a blast! So, I guess I'll retract my previous statement, ha ha! Apologies to those who hate their job.

Anyway, as a lot of you know I was hired by Discover America to write and host a few travel videos to promote tourism in Utah, specifically for the Canadian demographic. Lucky for me, that means that I was able to travel and experience all the things that a Canadian traveler might want to do. It was eye-opening, but in many ways surreal... At times it felt like a social study. I suppose we're drawn to what we know. In fact, many Canadian attractions are outdoorsy.

So for almost a week, my team and I drove from city to city and park to park, getting the full Canadian... Utah experience. All the way from hiking Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks, to soaking up the Sundance Mountain Resort, to kayaking and horseback riding at Flaming Gorge Reservoir and Antelope Island respectively. So even though we produced a video about Utah, it was for Canadians, and I don't think my friends and family in the North will be disappointed.

But the piece-de-resistance is the exposure as an on-camera personality and writer.

Here are a few pictures and video of my travels. Check back in a few months when Discover America launches their videos!

A little while ago I worked on a music video for singer Jierra. Now the video for "Mr. Worthless" has dropped and all of you can see just how worthless I am. But seriously, it's a badass video shot with some state-of-the-art equipment.

And I was able to snag a few of the photos from the "stalker board" in the music video.

It's been a busy year for Kill the Pig Productions! Our 72 Hour Shootout short film Case File 69 won Best Screenwriter and also screened at the Time Warner Center in New York City as part of a discussion on race in media (See me as a panelist). And our film Wedlocked screened at the Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival, the California Women's Film Festival and the HollyShorts Monthly Screenings.

But now these two shorts are going to screen at the same festival on the same day! The Asians On Film Festival will feature Case File 69 at the 5pm screening on March 27th, 2015, followed by the Opening Night Red Carpet. Afterwards, Wedlocked will be featured at the 7:30pm screening.

Last night, Wedlocked screened at the legendary Chinese Theatre as part of the Hollyshorts Monthly Screenings. The house was packed and the audience reaction was more than we could ask for. Well, I suppose we could ask for the audience award too, but we'll have to wait and see...

In the meantime, here's a picture of Christina and myself at the Q&A after the screening. Thanks to Marcus, Jamie, Ethan, Vivi, Devin, Seth and his parents  for being there to support!
