One of the highlights of my career is to produce a live event for passionate filmmakers. It was eye opening to see that both Norm and Ed shared a visual language that they understand because they shot a lot of music video, independent and studio films. I am very thankful for the time and energy of both cinematographers because they open a dialogue about their careers and what motivates them to pursue the story even if they are immerse in a different culture or language.

Also director Patrick Chen connected us to drinkLunar, who is the beverage sponsor for this event. The yummy Chinese buns provided by AANHPI founded by DP Jason Chew.

We had a giveaway of three Criterion movies with the baby Buddhas as raffle tickets. We have the interview recorded and stay tuned on the ARRI and ARRI Rental social media. Thank you to the audience who came and saw a cinematic moment on our stage in Long Island City.
