Log of Past Projects

Blood N’ Guts 2019 is almost here!!! I am stoked for this new rendition. I have been participating since last year and had great luck with the teams I’ve been on. For the Run N’ Gun earlier this year I was on the team that made “The Fondlers". It was an absolute blast working with everyone. There was so much talent in one house!! We killed it at the awards ceremony winning a couple awards, SO many nominations and we WERE SO CLOSE to winning best film. We lost out to the insanely talented Jaymee Mak though (who also won best actress) so I can’t really be that bummed about it :)

This time around I am with the team that made the incredibly controversial film Margot’s Period last year that made it into the finals and grossed out many-a-film-goer. So excited to see what we’re going to be making this year! One thing I know for sure is you better hold on to your seats! The Spooky Season is upon us ~

Come see the play I’m directing! Produced by Midtwenties Theatre Society me and my beloved, Kenneth Tynan, are directing a double bill for the 2019 Vancouver Fringe Festival. How do you know if love is really real? If it’s enduring and lasting? Come find out by watching these two beautiful stories by Yukio Mishima.

Are you ready for the 2019 Vancouver Fringe Festival?? Well gear up because love is in the air. Produced by Beau Han Bridge of Midtwenties Theatre comes Two Noh Plays by Mishima: Sotoba Komachi & Hanjo. Who better to direct two plays about love than a man and woman going through a relationship themselves? I am so excited to work beside my partner Kenneth Tynan to create two cohesive and compelling pieces that play into each other but have their own unique styles. Find out what makes them similar and different and take a look into you own judgments and perceptions of love this Fringe 2019.

Had a wonderfully wicked time working with Distress Signal once again! I hope you had a chance to catch our show, Sacred Pigeon. No belief is safe in this funny, crazy, spiritual show. If you missed it don’t worry! Distress Signal is always thinking up new things to make fun of.

I was recently accepted into the FYA (Fufilling Young Artists) Program! I am excited to start this new journey and expand my skills through my mentor and peers. I am also gearing up for next year. Already on the docket is a sketch comedy show with Sacred Pigeon (formerly Distress Signal), an adaptation of Oleanna with Midtwenties Theatre Society, a horror short and a script I am currently crafting with plans to direct. I’ve been so blessed this year and I truly cannot wait for the next. Will update soon.

We're so thrilled to have been picked to make a short film for the Might Asian Moviemaking Marathon! We're currently getting our team together and thrilled to share the final project with you guys.
