On a trip to Hong Kong, I was cruised by this attractive young man at the airport who turned out to be a policeman and a musician. As a result, I asked him to do a performance for me and this was how this tape got made. Mixing the old and the new, the public and the personal, we learn unexpected details about a person and could only imagine the rest.

By focusing on the blindfold, Koré explores the eye as purveyor of desire, sexual fear, and the fantasy of blindness. An alternative sexuality is founded in touch-based (feminine?) pleasure as opposed to a vision-based (masculine?) pleasure. An examination of institutional blindspots towards women, and people of color, concerning AIDS expands on the issue of vision, visibility and the disease.

A literal/metaphorical 'map' of anecdotes, jump cut interviews, incorrect 'talking-head' shots, hit-and-miss quotations, as the film follows the route of a delivery driver turned narrator, encountering various characters along the way such as the glaucoma-stricken elderly owner of a bed and breakfast and a doctor's office receptionist who steals drugs for her father-a Hollywood producer.

Part AC/DC, part Jacques Derrida. An experimental film made as a response to the critical theory aspects of the filmmakers degree and academic film criticism.

This film closely examines the tension between the established Italian fishing community and the recently arrived Vietnamese fishermen in California’s Monterey Bay peninsula. Monterey's Boat People documents a specific facet of anti-Asian sentiment and the conflicts faced by an industry that is also fighting for survival.​

A large black mole above an Asian woman's breast serves as a metaphor for cultural and racial difference in this engaging experimental film. Off-screen women's voices and scenes from The World of Suzie Wong parallel and counterpoint Sally's own interracial relationships and emerging self-awareness. A provocative and stylish meditation on Asian femininity.

A Symbolic History of Kapital.
Inspired by Kasimir Malevich's minimalist artworks and the struggles for resources in the age of peak oil, Suprematist Kapital was born of the want to create a visual artwork that could be displayed on many different-sized mediums regardless of resolution, e.g., theater screens, mobile devices, ipod's, etc. Where once technology as progress was an end in itself, it became the handmaiden of capitalist accumulation and war, and is now a form of capital itself in the age of peak oil.
