PREMIERE NIGHT for Wuxing Warriors: An Asian American Epic! In 2023, Amy and I began this project as a followup to our first narrative short Wuxing Warriors 1. Three years and 63 VFX shots later, we’re surrounded by an unlikely community that took root within the silly machine of an overly ambitious student film. Taking Wuxing 2 to the finish line was so creatively draining (as is any baggage of an old project). Yet, over the years of post-production hell, I watched our lives unfold, and Wuxing 2 became an inciting event that rippled into the careers, friendships, and relationships of our cast and crew. I’m beholden to this crew that came to set every day, fully engaged and genuinely excited for what we were creating. Your time and contributions have meant the world to me and I’m grateful to those who describe Wuxing 2 as the project that unlocked their fascinations. Alas, here are the final release dates: 🏮ACT I - Sunday, 1/4/2026 ⚜️ACT II - Sunday, 1/11/2026 🪾FULL FILM - Sunday, 1/18/2026 See Wuxing Warriors: An Asian American Epic on YouTube!

Hella overdue post but what's new 👯 (6/7 performances posted for month of February) 😈 KPop Night was my debut stage for CHOOM and honestly one of my worst performances of the year I was so under prepared but this was the group of girlies I got closer to in CHOOM (also HS me would not have imagined me performing in a club in college saur 🤩) On the same day I performed at a recital I also felt under prepared for cuz I hadn't touched my instrument for a year, but @rose.masc slayed so hard 🥰 Finally, charity banquet was such a side quest but lowkey choreo was good and I got my first words of approval from @jiayan._.wu 🥹 thx for the fancam i luv u 📸 @tristandatoc @whoever took our photos for kpop night and rose's recital i honestly have zero clue 🎥 @yluminant.photos rose's family i assume @jiayan._.wu

Whole month late but I had so much fun performing at TASC, CSSA, and VCN (3/7 performances of the month lol)🥹 TASC set has gotta be my fav choreo to do all year, love yapping with the girlies during practice and admiring the general sexiness of them 🫦 CSSA was fun and honestly love the set too, it motivated me to join CHOOM 💃 VCN was one of the most irresponsible moments for me but Calvin ate with the choreo 😤 WORTH 📸 @pengflick @snipyang @chris_gztt

Babysitting was kinda fun 🫃🏻
