• I can’t sleep, so I’m gonna blog.

  Monday, Oct 19, 2009 8:30PM / Standard Entry

  
  (blog inspired by MyNinjaClothing.com)

  It’s 5am right now and it’s waaay past my bedtime.

  I should’ve gone to sleep awhile ago… I gotta be up in just a few hours for a full day of editing, shooting, and meetings! Oi vey. What am I doing? >_<

  Hmm. It's been awhile since I've blogged about anything personal. Peachies.net continues to be an occasional billboard for Asian Americans in entertainment as you can see.

  I guess to bring y'all up to date... I've been working on a lot of random stuff. Editing, acting, producing... etc. It's been wild. It's been busy. It's caused me to have insomnia tonight.

  I've been craving a lifestyle change for the past several months and I guess I've been moving towards one. Gotta take baby steps. Just trying to live a fuller life by being more active, eating better, and enjoying what's free. I REALLY want to start cooking. But first I need to learn! Baby steps... baby steps.

  Just wrapped a short film directed by my friend, Jin Yoo-Kim. She's hardcore and going through film school at USC right now. She wrote a small part for me... character's name is "Grace!" Haha. Cast from film pictured below.

  

  Oooh! For those of you who voted for “The Art of Fame” in the LG Fame Us! Contest… we won the Grand Prize! Sooo awesome. Eugene Lee Yang… super talented. Definitely a director to watch. I’ve worked on two projects with him now and he is just one of those people with a natural ability of doing everything well.

  Arowana Films. I’m pretty much part of the crew now. I joked to Evan that they’d need to change their logo to include a girl. Haha. We’ll see about that… ;P Most recently, we’re wrapping up 1040 and we’re also working on a few other projects together… stay tuned…

  So yup, it’s been pretty busy these last few months. This month is pretty intense. So intense I wasn’t able to travel to SDAFF or HIFF as I had hoped to. BUT! I’ll be traveling to Hong Kong and Taiwan at the end of this month through mid-November! I’m pretty excited about that. I’ve never been to HK… so I’m really looking forward to that. Going with one of my best friends and meeting up with another one in Taipei, so should be fun!

  Normally, I would stop myself and criticize this blog very harshly for the way it’s been written… but today, I will just let it go and let this be.

  OH! I know this has already been a pretty random blog, but I just wanted to give some major props to MY NINJA! and The Social Trust for their recent collaboration! The new shirts and photos look AMAZING, guys!!!

  Speaking of photos, here’s one from the other day.

  

  At Hugo’s. Photo courtesy of Jeannie Mai. I am sooo glad I got to see and spend time with Kathy Uyen (3 days in a row!). So good to see her back in LA for a bit. She just freakin’ won a Vietnamese Oscar, yo! For her role in PASSPORT TO LOVE… which I need to see, which maybe you can see, too, as it’s out in select theaters. I just had to plug something now, didn’t I?

  

  Omg… this blog took me almost 30 minutes to write. o_O It’s time to stop and go to sleep.

• Casting Asian Am mom and dad for USC student film

  Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 3:31PM / Standard Entry

  Title: Cut the Fat
  Logline: A man has to defend his honor, win over a wife, and protect his unborn child by gaining the respect of a man who detests him the most – his future father in law.

  Auditions are at USC this Thursday, September 24th, 2009 from 6pm-11pm. Locations will be emailed.

  Breakdown:

  DAD: Korean man in his 40’s-late 50’s. Very traditional, conservative and from the old world. He’s stuck in a time period and mentality that doesn’t exist even in modern-day Korea anymore. He wants to make sure that his future son in law has balls to protect his daughter from nature, foe, and random acts of violence from street gangs. Although he’s 1st generation, he’s made a name for himself in academia with several published literature and is a professor of English literature. He’s an expert martial artist.

  MOM: Korean woman in her 40’s. Adaptable, shrewd, funny, and has very good intuition. Can tell right away when something is wrong and is immediately thinking of ways to solve problems.

  Please send resumes and headshots to jykproductions@gmail.com

• Asians (plus, “Jin-Soo Kwon”) at the Emmys

  Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 6:16AM / Standard Entry

  I’m not one to follow things like the Emmys… but after seeing a friend tweet about dressing Blake Lively and January Jones, I had to see my friend’s handiwork. Thus, I browsed through red carpet images from the night and found, to my delight, a handful of Asian Am stars struttin’ it!

  

  Pictured: Jeannie Mai (I heart her), Mindy Kaling, Rex Lee w/ the entourage, Lindsay Price, and Sandra Oh.

  While perusing, I also stumbled upon this:

  

  What the…either LOST is real or the caption writer totally had a brain fart. Tsk tsk.

  

  Oh, and btw, Blake Lively and January Jones looked lovely! (Great job, Chris!)
