Early Christmas Presents from "That Asian Thing"!!!!

Happy Festivus!! As the holiday brew ha ha is thick in the air, I shall leave you with a few tokens of our friendship!

First - I wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU once again to all the people that have hung around with "That Asian Thing" project. This chaos started in October of 2005 and now we are entering 2008. I can't express how greatful I am for the people that have been patient in waiting on the end result of this trip fest. SO THANKS HOMEYS!

Therefore, I shall pass on these gifts for your internet listening and viewing.

Numero uno: Our buddies over at the Paunch Stevenson Show (http://www.paunchstevenson.com/) have posted up the interview done with writer/director Jonald Reyes of "That Asian Thing." Go to the main website to catch current Episode #92 for Monday, December 10, 2007. Jonald takes a time out and chills with his old pals on their podcast show. Topics include thoughts on the documentary, how the "Indian guy" on Short Circuit was Fisher Stevens, old high school days, and Jonald's film influences. It was totally fun to do and good times with conversation. Please check it out!

Present letter "B": As I've done in the past couple of weeks with my extra footage, I am sharing a new music video with you. As the last one was with Cynthia Lin, I continued to stick on that folk guitar vibe and would like to show you Mr. Stephen Munoz - http://www.myspace.com/stephenmunoz . Please check out the video here:

SO (the following will be no surprise) please await as I continue to revamp the documentary. Have a safe holiday season and I will update once again....

New Video (while you wait....AGAIN!)

Continuing from my last post, as y'all are waiting for the revamp of "That Asian Thing," to keep my editing muscles strong, I worked on a music video. My last go around with the film, I worked on my cousin's wedding slideshow to get my mind off the main project here and there. You just don't wanna get burnt out with stuff like this. SO - this time around, I feel like instead of having you guys wait in la la land while y'all forget that this documentary is even being made - I'll keep the hype alive by working on little music videos. These videos are left over footage from performances/interviews. Some of them may make the new cut to the film, while others won't. There's the grand mystery of it all!

ANYHOO - here's the infamous YouTube link to a brand new Cynthia Lin video. Cynthia is performing her song "Water Torture." Be sure to check out her website (http://www.cynthialin.com) and grab her album! Very chill-laxful....

EDITOR'S NOTE: If you read the explaination on the YouTube clip, I wanted to work on the lighting and give an angelic aura to Cynthia. This is why I snuck a couple of after performance clips - to show her glowing amongst the "normal" people. And then after a shot of her "flying" into the clouds, she came back down to earth with regular light tones. Check out the link and see what I mean! Enjoy:
