Where does your desire to express yourself through art come from?

My passion for film has led me to screenwriting, where I can channel my imagination and craft unique stories. I draw inspiration from a diverse range of sources, including the works of authors and directors, real-life experiences, my cultural heritage, fleeting emotions, and music.

What are your goals as an artist?

As an artist, my foremost goal is to create captivating stories that entertain and resonate with people on a profound level. My experiences, particularly the cultural transition I faced moving from Vietnam to France, shape my narrative style and themes. I deliberately explore concepts of belonging and identity, allowing my journey to enrich the stories I tell—especially in the realms of Sci-Fi, Action, and Supernatural Thrillers.

What is your opinion on the cultural industry?

The rise of streaming services has undeniably transformed the cultural landscape, challenging traditional theaters to adapt. Major media companies are scrambling to keep pace with platforms like Netflix, but this evolution presents immense opportunities for independent filmmakers. With their creativity and resourcefulness, these filmmakers are making powerful strides and redefining storytelling. As the industry continues to evolve, the need for collaboration and innovation among artists is paramount, particularly in response to emerging technologies such as AI.

Do independent artists today have enough opportunities to share their creativity? 

Absolutely! Indie festivals like Sundance and Wild Filmmaker are thriving platforms that empower independent artists to showcase their work and receive the recognition they deserve. The remarkable success of Sean Baker’s “Anora” highlights what can be achieved through dedication and creativity, serving as both an inspiration and a model for aspiring artists.

What new project are you currently working on?

I am excited to share that I have completed a sci-fi thriller titled “The Star Seeker.” This project follows the journey of a homeless teenage math prodigy in a climate-ravaged future as she competes for a coveted spot on a space exploration mission while searching for her father’s missing spaceship. It blends the concepts of “Interstellar” with elements of an “Escape Room,” where every challenge is met with resilience and the unwavering hope for a brighter future.
