” I had a lot of fun working with my shoot out team and formed
relationships with them that I hope to maintain for a long time.
Having such a positive and professional environment to work in helped
me to learn more about acting on film. The shorts were all screened
for the NY ABC casting office.  This helped start my relationship with
them and eventually, I was chosen for their 2004 “diversity” showcase.
I would recommend the shoot out to any Asian actor, director,
producer or writer who is committed to making and promoting Asian
American films in NY.”
