I'm a filmmaker from New York City, originally born and raised in Hong Kong. My debut feature film, Falling for Grace, premiered at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. Recently, it was featured at the VCFilmFest in Los Angeles and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. Falling for Grace is a romantic comedy about Grace Tang, a banker from NY Chinatown, who wants more than anything to be part of the elite Upper East Side Socialite world. She gets in only after being mistaken as an heiress from Hong Kong. We are currently in negotiations for a U.S. theatrical release. Please go to: http://fallingforgrace.com for more information.

I love movies of all kinds, especially romantic comedies - yes, I'm a true chick at heart. I'm starting to watch lots of Hong Kong films which I have been really enjoying. And it's a great way to keep up with my Cantonese. Favorite directors: Ang Lee, Ann Hui, Wayne Wang, Nancy Meyers, Mike Nichols, Ron Howard.

I love to sing, was on Broadway in Miss Saigon, and have performed throughout the U.S. I also worked with Lea Salonga in Into The Woods in Singapore, directed by the wonderful director, Glen Goei. One of my favorite musical theater composers is Hong Kong's own Leon Ko (who co-wrote the music for Perhaps Love). He's brilliant and I can't wait to collaborate more with him. I'm banking on him to be the first Asian composer to win a Tony Award! I worked with Leon on a really great musical called "Heading East". His writing partner, Robert Lee, is one of the best theatrical lyricists I've seen in a long long time.

I also love tennis, practically obsessed with Roger Federer. He's undoubtedly the best tennis player ever lived. I work hard on my game - play about 3 times a week in New York and still hope to play in tournaments in the future. I love working out HARD!

I'm very much into "The Secret". It took me 8 years to get my movie done and I really learned about the law of attraction, and how we create our own path, how mistakes can be the sweetest teachers. I need constant reminder still that our most powerful tool is within ourselves. We just need to believe in ourselves. Not easy to do but oh so true!
