It was a joy creating this year’s poster for the Society for Visual Anthropology Film & Media Festival alongside my former USC MVA professor Jenny Cool. Together we created this and other marketing materials for the 2023 American Anthropological Association/Canadian Anthropology Society (AAA/CASCA) yearly meeting in Toronto.
This poster features still images from these 2023 SVA Film & Media Festival films: (Top) Sama in the Forest - directed by Carlos G. Gomez and winner of the “Best Feature” award; (Bottom) Addresses (Direcciones) - directed by Maria Luisa Santos & Carlo Nasisse and winner of the “Best Short - Honorable Mention” award.

Ghost Tape #10: Award of Excellence, 2020 BEA Festival of Media Arts
Out of more than 1,750 entries from 300 colleges nationwide, what a privilege to have Ghost Tape #10 be counted amongst the 18 award-winning "Short Form Documentaries" at the 2020 BEA Festival of Media Arts. An international festival that seeks to enhance professional standards in broadcasting, I'm honored to take part in this event. I’m grateful to my faculty instructors at the USC Department of Anthropology / USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences ~ Prof. Janet Hoskins (Advisor) and Prof. Jenny Cool ~ and to my production team who helped realize this film: Ricky Berger, Pham Thu Hang, Hoa Nguyen, Cookie Duong, Jamie Maxtone-Graham, Thiên Chip & Jedadiah Cracco. Special thanks to Margaret Barnhill Bodemer and the Journal of Vietnamese Studies for their awareness and critique of the film!
