The year was 2006 which actually wasn’t too long ago. But thinking back, it seemed like another era. It was my first hands on experience on a feature length movie. Popping my cherry sorta speak. At this point, I’d worked on many music videos and a few short length documentaries and shorts but never a feature length. I knew this opportunity not just as an Asian American nobody but an inspiring filmmaker would change my stars one way or another. My skills from the military and from just being me…cheap chinese, funny guy, quick on my feet…would be what I could bring to the table. The word “independent” definitely brought new meanings. And although I already had little experience, most of the young crew members on Finishing the Game had no experience at all. But still everyone had the same goal in front of them, to make a good movie!
