Hello everyone! Hope all is well. I am taking a few minutes break away from postproduction to blog to you.
For the past few months I had the privilege to work with some of the most amazing people in front and behind the scene. First, I would like to tip my hat off to my mentor, father figure and a friend, Mr. James Hong. Working with him was the best experience ever! My favorite memory is not when we were working but when I was invited to Dreamworks to watch him do voiceover for "Kung Fu Panda". Watching him do his magic was amazing; for someone his age, he has so much energy! He's the one that influence me to do what I do now, work in films.
As my expedition continues, I also got the privilege to work with Chil Kong (West 32nd, Crossover) a talented actor and director. Watching him direct was a great learning experience and boy can he sing!!! "The Mikado Project" also includes David McInnis (Typhoon), Yuri Tag (Kaba Modern), and my favorite actress Tamlyn Tomita (Karate Kid 2, The Day After Tomorrow). Tamlyn Tomita is an amazing woman! Not only is she a great actress but a very charming, intelligent, beautiful and humble person. A few time when we were low in craft service, she would stop by the supermarket and bought food for us. Another time she surprised us with a special macaroni and cheese that she had baked for us. It was delicious! But the most amazing thing of all is that Tamlyn always give a great performance. Every time she does her scene, she hits it on the nose. I love her!
In between working on these projects, I also got signed to a manager, work on music video where I discover a great band called Elliot Minor, take acting classes, work on a reality show, two TV pilot, host the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival where I ran into Patrick Lee and Terence Yin (Hi guys!), learn how to use a camera crane (jib), was backstage with Megadeth, in the press room at the Daytime Emmy's, now I'm editing for a production company, meanwhile helping my friend spread the word for Project Michelle, promote my fellow Asian musician, involve with the Chinese American Community Night and will start on another film feature soon! Looking forward to that! Wish me luck and I'll let you know when I'm done!
Much Luv,
Kim Mi Ly
