As a grassroots documentary filmmaker, I am motivated to encounter urgent stories and collaborate through mutual self study. My interdisciplinary background in Sociolinguistics and Ethnography frames My process around how estrangement

from our origins manifests in our bodies. A Vietnamese- American raised in California,

I belong to the modern diaspora that seeks to transform generational hurt into

a reclaimed sense of belonging.  

 

I am based in the high desert of New Mexico, alongside the Nambé Pueblo.
