Wow! The last time I blogged, it was about to become 2010. Now, it's 2013! Time goes by too fast, don't you think? Well, since I finished Lychee Thieves and Brass Knuckle Ballad, I've been trying to concentrate on my own writing projects. In the process, I became interested in K-pop, as it is becoming popular in the States! So anyway, I just finished filming a documentary about American teenagers who are trying to become K-pop stars. I'm in the process of editing, and soon, I'll take the film to Los Angeles to complete ...Read more
It's been such awhile since my last blog. So sorry! 2009 has been busy, but enjoyable. I completed several short films, as well as started another one called BRASS KNUCKLE BALLAD, written and directed by Tommy Chock.

Recently, when I was in Los Angeles, one of my hosts invited Bruce Vilanch to dinner.

Turns out, he wanted to be an actor, but was offered his first writing job by Bette Midler (if I remember correctly), and the rest, as they say, ...Read more
A few weeks ago, I was in my attorney friend's office, and he had a box full of the above-mentioned DVD. As a person who loves cars, I had wanted to see this documentary, but never got around to it. He kindly gave me one, and I finally watched it. It really made me sad and mad that a company like GM created a car such as the EV1 to satisfy a California clean air mandate, but after the mandate was lifted, GM repossessed all of the cars (they were leased), and had them crushed. The EV1 was a futuristic-looking two-seater tha...Read more
Because Hawaii is not known as a film industry mecca, I am always inspired when a filmmaker from here receives national or international recognition for his or her work. In this case, it is a young filmmaker from Maui named Destin Cretton, who triumphed over 96 other filmmakers to win the Best Short Film award at the Sundance Film Festival. During his time at Sundance, he kept an online blog, which can be found here:
Happy New Year! I am happy to have found this community of artists and I hope we can collaborate on something very very soon!
