My main contribution was through the editing and I also directed the chase sequence. We chose I Am Legend because it was fresh in our minds and we’d seen three adaptions of the book already. We decided that Neville and Ruth’s relationship would be the easiest to portray on screen since we only needed two actors. The…

For the longest time, I remember being so lost that I no longer recognized the person in the mirror. Looking back on my high school days…

I learned English in Vietnam for a couple years before moving. However, my skills weren’t good enough for me to understand and talk to my teachers and peers. I struggled for a long time to fit in.

My hair is always curled in a way that frames my face, my makeup…
