A Celebrated Filmmaking Competition Whose Leadership Is Damn Serious About Diversity — Part 1
There are testimonials that you inspire up-and-coming filmmakers. Besides responsibilities for Film Lab Inc., what’s going on in your film career. “I wrote my first feature film, a horror called Monsters Among Us, which invites the viewer to re-examine the definitions of good and evil. I’m excited to be working with, not just the Film Lab, but also with Joe Tex of Face Off Unlimited and Stephen Conca of Eras of Terror to create an amazing and unique horror film. We start shooting some of the film this very month and we’re still looking for one or two more investors / producers.”
How did the 72 Hour Shootout Come About? “The original idea for the 72 Hour Shootout was dreamed up by the Film Lab team around 2004. That was before my time. Back in ’04, the competition was a small, regional one for New York City filmmakers only and the goal was to amplify Asian American stories in film.
