NY\nGlam:<\/strong> Tell us a little about\nyourself, growing up and your passions. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up in Arlington, VA, after my family came to USA from Vietnam after the fall of Sai Gon in April 1975. My Mom was a teacher, so she had an influenced that I chose English as my college major. I took a writing class (Introduction to Film) in my sophomore year that was really a turning point. After that, most of my classes were in film and play (theatre) writing.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY\nGlam:<\/strong> Did you have any\nspecific influences growing up that lead you towards the film industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After college I wanted to move to California\nbut there were obstacles. I sticked around in Washington DC area where I gained\nmy apprenticeship with theatre companies. I got involved with short play summer\nfestivals for a few years where I went from light to sound operator, to\nassistant director and lastly, director. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What are you currently\nworking on? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3rd<\/sup> script of the trilogy is finished. Right now, I am waiting for the pandemic to go away, so I can begin pre-production.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What were your main\nresponsibilities on this film?
\n<\/strong>My roles are writer and producer.  As the producer, I am the one who reads and\nselects a script (if it is not mine), finances the project, selects a director,\ncrews, collaborates with a director to select the cast and lastly, deliver the\nfinal product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: Can you tell us about your experience in working with the director and actors in this film?<\/strong>
<\/strong>Thus far I am blessed to have a good working with directors and actors. When the gig is over, I am still in contacting with them. For me to choose someone to direct a film, it comes down to how much I trust the person in the subject, is he\/she creative, and can he\/she understand and translate into actions. Same goes for actors during the audition process as I try to see if they listen to directions in their reading scene(s). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What was the most important thing for this movie to\nachieve from a narrative and character standpoint?
\n<\/strong>The\n3rd<\/sup> script of the trilogy deals with reincarnation. In life we have\n\u201cyesterday, today, tomorrow\u201d perspective, and this script deals with something\nhappened \u201cyesterday\u201d that sometimes that it never goes away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What other films have you produced?
\n<\/strong>The 2nd<\/sup>\nscript\/production is still on the festival circuits, and I am anxiously waiting\nto see what happens in 2021 as 2020 it has received plenty of festivals\n\u201cofficial selections\u201d and \u201cawards.\u201d \nPrior to 2018 I have produced 3 films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What makes a film interesting for you? What are three qualities that\nyou look for in a movie?
\n<\/strong>It is like\nhaving a photo where filmmaking allows you to shoot and re-shoot scene until\nyou are satisfied. The old filmmaking saying, \u201ca great shot of an angle, excellent\ncharacter\u2019s expression, awesome background.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What project helped you launch your career?
\n<\/strong>In the early\n2000s I made 2-3 films. Those were the learning experience from writing to\nproducing. In life the motto is \u201clearn from your mistake,\u201d so I continue to\ngrow and be better a next time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: <\/strong>As a\nscreenwriter, what is the most important aspect of building a character?
\n<\/strong>As a\nwriter I have a couple of ways to outline a script and characters. I make the\ncharacters to face \u201chead-on\u201d with issues in their behaviors and of course, the\ndialogue. I ask, \u201cwhat is the purpose in this scene?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: What\nare your ambitions for your writing career?
\n<\/strong>I will let \u201cfate\u201d to decide that path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY\nGlam: What are you most proud of? Describe\nyour biggest accomplishment to date?
\n<\/strong>To date the 2nd<\/sup>\nscript\/production of the trilogy \u201cTomorrow Never Came\u201d has garnered 18 festivals\n\u201cOfficial Selection\u201d with 4 Semi-Finalist, 1 Finalist for \u201cMarch 2020 Best\nShort Film\u201d, 2 Awards for \u201cWinner \u201cMarch 2020 Best Actress Film\u201d and \u201cBronze\nAward Winner.\u201d Also, the script received Honorable Award and Semi-Finalist. The\n3rd<\/sup> script \u201cYesterday Never Ended\u201d received a Finalist selection at\nUK\u2019s March Best Script Award. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY\nGlam:<\/strong> Do you have any upcoming projects that you\u2019re super excited about?
\n<\/strong>I look forward\nto starting the 3rd<\/sup> script\/production of the trilogy. The film\u2019s\ndirector, co-producers, first assistant director, and lead actress are in\nplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> What advice would you give to someone who is aspiring to enter the film industry, especially as a producer? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short film is a good way to introduce yourself in the business, and it does not matter if the film is 3 minutes or 13 minutes.\u00a0 Producer\u2019s role is much different. One of the aspects is the budget, and the cast and crews are unlikely to do it for free. It is hard to reach out to folks even relatives to ask, \u201cWould you be interested in making a donation?\u201d Make sure to review the budget. How much do you have, or how much can you afford to spend? I have fortunate to finance my own projects without reaching out to investors (yet). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> Can you discuss any future projects or direction you are taking in regard to film making?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Aside from the trilogy I have ideas to write for the next 2 scripts with one as crisscross between War Games and Snowden\u2019s movies. However, I do not get ahead of myself. First, I need to put time to write, and second, the focus and deep thought need to sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
