Haven't checked facebook in a day or so and OMG just woke up to this. Such a pleasant surprise!!! Thank you so much to the Sacramento Asian Pacific Film Festival!

Grateful for the opportunity to collab with the amazing Sendai ERA! My first music video directed and shot in Seattle since I moved up here (and first Karaoke video!). Especially honored to celebrate Seattle's Chinatown International District, a community I have felt welcome and at home since day 1. Thank you.
