  • The great decision

    Its been quite some time since I added an entry here at AliveNotDead. Many things have happened since my days training with the Iranian National team. I am back in the United States now and I have recently made a great career decision.
    I have decided to pursue a career in Film writing and acting. I have never been so excited and enthused about my future plans as I am now. Entertainment and performance have always been my passion, and now that Ive decided to invest my future in the film industry, I am more than confident that great and successful times lay ahead.
    The steps I am taking at this time are as follows.
    First off, I am establishing and strengthening past and new connections and networks to support my goals. Because as you all know, in the entertainment industry, perhaps more than anything, connections and networking play a crucial role.
    Secondly, I am writing, directing and starring in a short film project with Cal Wushu. The scrīpt is already complete and we have been filming for the past two weeks. The project should be complete in two months time. The project is serving to give me and my friends exposure and at the same time I will be using it as an example of my work to use in a portfolio for upcoming career opportunities and graduate school applications.
    Third, I am looking for work in the bay area within the entertainment industry so as to get my feet wet and financially prepare for future projects.
    Lastly I am continuing my Wushu training every day. One thing that makes me very happy about this career decision is that Wushu will continue to play a key role in my life. I am preparing for the annual Wushu competition in Berkeley, as well as Disney's tiger claw elite championships. Me and my two partners Collin Lee and Kenny Leu have prepared a sparring set that we hope to unveil at these competitions.
    Well everyone, thanks again for your patience and interest. I hope that you will be able to share in my excitement and love for things to come.
    Love and Peace
