Lunar New Year is finally over so it’s finally time to recap 2025 😅
It was a surprising and eventful year that went by slower in a good way.

It’s all about the people who you look back with and say “Damn, how did we through that sh*t??”…
the answer is “Together.”

Was really blessed to have participated in TWO award winning films in Cannes this year 😮💨.
“Black Dog” as an AD for all the animals, and “Blue Sun Palace” as PA turned Actor.
One takes place in Western China, in an abandoned town filled with stray dogs and the other takes place in a massage parlor right at home in Flushing, Queens. Two completely different worlds, but stories worth being told nonetheless.
Even more than the recognition, the process of making these films side by side with the crew are memories that will last forever.
#Shortcomings BTS Dump
Shortcomings was a very special project with a refreshing take on Asian American experiences and flawed people in general. It was a pleasure working with Randall and the whole team. Enjoy it in theaters now!
