The Month of May!

I’ve been at my company for about 7 months and this was the FIRST TIME seeing this as a perfect straight on shadow. Good timing!

Maneki Neko Shadow.

During the Manilatown Heritage Foundation panel, QBert said his claim to fame was on a Star Wars DVD. haha.
After the panel, he shot this at home

One of my first community projects since moving back to the Bay Area. Roy Recio got me to be one of the Board of Advisors for the Manilatown Heritage Foundation. haha. It’s funny – I’d NEVER have time to do stuff like this while working for my old ad agency. I’m really proud of this accomplishment. Things have been pretty fun since moving back to the Bay Area. Good times ahead.

Had my birthday over at Classic Bowl Daly City a few days ago. First birthday in the Bay Area in 10 years! Pretty great to celebrate it with old and new friends. Good times.

They just won the 2012 Telly Awards for this video. I know a bunch of folks who work for the show. There’s a lot of sweat, blood, and tears into making something like this. I’m looking forward to more of their projects. Congrats!

Got an email from Ami Zins about this event happening in San Rafael. I used to intern for Ami when she was the Film Commissioner for the City of Oakland. Good times – The Matrix, What Dreams May Come, Nash Bridges, etc. She was one of my first mentors.

Welcome to Reel Bash 2012. Ami is the woman with the glasses behind the TV.



Bay Area Special Effects Legends from ILM. Folks who did the original Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Back to the Future, etc..you know where I’m going.

Spent Wednesday night digging through old pics that QBert brought from his parents house. We’re putting together a panel/meet and greet over at the Manilatown Heritage Foundation on March 31st.

We found some really rare and cool stuff.

If you’re going – see you there.
$15 (presale), $20 (door).
The venue is pretty small so get there early!

Long, but PRODUCTIVE Sunday. It was a lot of fun.

This Pitch event was really great!



Pretty cool folks. Harry Yoon was the guy who motivated me to be more active in the Indie Film scene and Troy Takaki was the guy who inspired me to make the leap to LA (10 years ago).

Present Future Panel – Wong Fu Productions

The founder of Know Your Meme.

Caught the screening of Yes, We’re Open.

Ran into Qbert at Japantown

It’s been about 10 years since I’ve attended this event. Whew.

I went to “A Conversation with the Nakamura Family” panel.
They’re a really fascinating and talented family.
Here’s a film that Tad Nakumura is working on.

Afterwards, I dropped by to see Bang Bang (Directed by Bryan Q and Produced by James Bak)
