About Me

TOP 10 RANDOM EXPERIENCES, 2006-2007
10. Went on the weirdest internet date ever. ME: You look different than your picture. HER: Oh, that's not me. That's a Japanese movie star. I don't have a good picture of myself. But if I had the right lighting and clothes I would look better than her. ME: [gulp]
9. Participated in the world’s largest coconut orchestra.
8. Hiked up to the Hollywood sign. Triggered security camera. Raced thru Hollywood Hills while passersby said, "Hey aren't you the guys the cops are looking for?"
7. Spent Christmas day in a Russian bathhouse, getting beaten by leafy tree branches. Not as kinky as it sounds.
6. Slow-danced with a Japanese robot modeled after Marilyn Monroe. Also not as kinky as it sounds.
5. Charity golf tournament. I’ve never played before in my life. The ball goes BEHIND me somehow. The dude who played Carleton in “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” gives me the evil eye.
4. Shot a documentary in Mexico about a school for deaf kids.
3. Moved from New Orleans to NYC.
2. Unsuccessfully proposed to a stranger on the Las Vegas strip.
1. Successfully avoided singing karaoke. Not once. That’s pretty amazing for an Asian person!
Some short films I've made ...

My Interests

Attempting conversations where every other word is "What?!" in dark sweaty rooms full of drunk people; skiing in pizza pie formation down double black diamonds; talking to little kids as if they were adults; getting lost

I'd like to meet:

Those who are effortlessly multitalented. Like Jason Lee (pro skateboarder - amazing actor). Wait a sec, no. I hate those motherfuckers.

Music:

This Stretch of Highway

An original song from our feature film Coyote Funeral, sung by one of the stars, Jono Young. For more info on the film, check out Coyote Funeral on my friends list.

Latest obsessions: Neko Case, Libertines, Pearl Jam's new record it's amazing I swear ... "Good" rock from the 80s (Elvis Costello, Replacements, Smiths, Talking Heads, Police, Clash, U2, REM, New Order, Pixies), Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, early Bowie, Television, most Britpop, Everything But the Girl, Shins, Hives, Killers, Strokes, Wilco, Jeff Buckley, Cibo Matto, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Ojos de Brujo, Estopa ... and, um, Pet Shop Boys. I will attempt to dance to anything however...

Movies:

Recently ... Me and You and Everyone We Know: such perfectly shaped scenes, each one was like a little tone poem. However it stretches credibility that someone like Miranda July, who is probably in the top 0.1% of beautiful/smart/winsome women in the world, would actually be lonely. She's an example of what I call the Magical Movie Woman ... the goddess who inexplicably falls for the misfit hero. For more examples of this see Garden State, The Graduate, Wedding Crashers, every Adam Sandler movie ever made.

Television:

The last episode of The Shield Season 5 made me cry. In a manly way.

Books:

On the subway: US Weekly, folded inside a copy of The Economist. I like to appear respectable while catching up on Who Wore It Better: Ashlee vs. Lindsay.

Heroes:

Snake Eyes from GI Joe. FYI, a back flip is a good technique for avoiding laser beams.
