I'm a film student currently attending school at University of California, San Diego with a minor in Literature/Writing. I was born and raised in Saigon, Vietnam and currently based in Anaheim and San Diego. I got into filmmaking because I am both intrigued by the creative writing process and I have a deep passion for photography/cinematography. When I combined these two elements together, I realized that I could make something meaningful with it, and I decided to pursue this field. So far, I have written and directed two short student films as part of a production program called Triton Television, in which I am also a producer for. Although I am film student, I'm looking to build my experiences as an artist and as a person wanting to know more about the creative industry.
