Mas. Like Boss. Moriya. Like Korea.

I am a media activist, photographer, filmmaker, and screenwriter.

I’ve written screenplays, built websites, photographed celebrities, shot short films, made podcasts, and unarchived vintage audio.

I’ve lived many lives.

  • Photography: Pop-stars, Portraits. Protests.

  • Filmmaker: Shorts. Music videos. Documentarian.

  • Rogue Photo: Nonprofit. Photography. Do good. Help people.

Today, I…

  • Coach emerging artists how to turn art into a career.

  • Create conversation and resources for emerging Asian American storytellers.

  • Teach Asian American screenwriters how to sign with a manager without winning screenplay contests.

I write Movies.
