I'm a Vietnam-born, American raised adventurer. A child of the 90s, I grew up in a ghetto and moved to a suburb as a teenager. Finally, I packed up for college and shot for the stars, landing in NYC. I've called it my home ever since.
Since graduating, I've worked as a lighting technician in the film & TV industry. I'm focusing on writing, directing and producing short films.
I'm a nerd at heart and I'm still learning about this big, big world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love hip hop, jazz, and alternative rock - some of my favorite acts are Kendrick Lamar, The National, and Bob Dylan.
I'm fond of Hemingway, Vonnegut and Cormac McCarthy. I don't read a lot, so when I do, I hope it's a good book.
Some of my all time favorite films are Chungking Express, The Matrix, Taxi Driver, Tarkovsky films, and Kobayashi films. Movies are a big part of my life and I enjoy them all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At 19, hitchhiked across the United States of America, from Connecticut to Los Angeles: 3000km of awesome.
Then took a bus back home: 3 days of not-awesome.
