So excited for my film @fabfilipinobros is having its first LA screening at #LAAPFF @vcmediaorg. It’s special to show this movie in front of my friends and family and this festival has screened so many movies of mine and my family over the years, they’ve always supported us and this is our home base. The movie sold out so fast! That’s love! I can’t wait to get this film out for everyone to see! https://www.instagram.com/p/CUYC0PtP6I_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Doing whatever we can

It is 11:50pm this minute that I am writing this sentence. It is now 11:51pm. Last year my friends and I bought one way flights to the Philippines and had it in our minds that we were not coming back until we had a movie. Not even a year later and I am writing to you tonight because we did come back with a movie. Those friends I left with became my bestest of friends and that movie we made is now premiering at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.

You may not have heard of the LAAPFF, but it is my favorite Film Festival. It's a festival that represents my community and my experiences there last year changed my life forever. This year in particular we have several friends of ours with films in the festival too and we are all ready to attend each other's screenings and to discover and support as many other filmmakers we can as well. But try as we might, and as amazing as our friends are, we know we are just a handful of small indie films in a community that until recently have been completely invisible to studio and network execs.

The Supernatural Family was the first to turn my life on its head and drastically change my life in ways I never knew possible and for that I will forever be grateful. I am constantly in awe at what the SPNFamily is able to accomplish as a collective. You have been the sweetest, most caring and most wonderful people that I could have hoped to have in my life. It's with that, that I invite my SPNFamily to meet my other family, and who knows, maybe one community can flip another community on its head and drastically change it in ways they never knew possible. Or not. The only thing I really do know is that everything is impossible until it’s not, so here we go once again trying to do the impossible.

The world premiere of Empty by Design will be May 10th at the Regal Cinemas at L.A. Live. Please join in on the LAAPFF festivities, I will be at the festival all week and would be delighted to see some plaid and trench coats there.

And our very close friend Celia Au is in this movie, In a New York Minute, it’s another little indie movie that could and we'll be there for sure.
