Five Silent Shorts - trailer
Over the last year, having no real budget, I started shooting Five Silent Shorts with just me as writer, director, producer, main actor, DOP and editor. And great music from Vũ Đình Trụ. This is the trailer of the 30 minutes total, now on its way to festivals and with a very special screening planned in Belgium, soon in '25. Premiered in Vietnam in Vin Gallery last May, with a very nice audience.

SUNFLOWER. WHAT IF THE SUN TAKES A DAY OFF?
มุมมอง 2.4Kหลายเดือนก่อน
It's a fairy tale and a family story. An (almost) silent movie, full of wonder. A short movie I shot with a young dream team in Saigon. After a worldwide tour along some fifty film festivals, winning a dozen coveted awards, Sunflower is here for you to enjoy. Feel free to be enchanted or puzzled, to comment or to ask, and to share of course.
Grab a seat, Vietnam

The Plastic Chair, the most Vietnamese and most colorful of all pieces of furniture, is the star of this photo-video. A streetwise celebration of Tet 2024, the start of the Year of the Dragon. Let's all grab a plastic seat and enjoy a colorful Vietnamese New Year. #vietnam #tet #yearofthedragon #saigon #hanoi #streetfood #vietnamesefood #vietnamtravel
THE BEACH IS OUR PARADISE
มุมมอง 2Kปีที่แล้ว
The pleasures of the beach. In Vietnam we know how to enjoy them, on so many wonderful beaches. And they're heaven... when they're clean. There's a wave of awareness rising about this, but there's still a lot to do. That's the message of my positively entertaining photo-video. Let's keep our beaches clean. They are paradise, and they help keeping the ocean clean. #vietnam #beach #paradise #worl...
Dear Buddha
มุมมอง 63K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Visiting every pagoda on my way, wherever I travel in Vietnam, I decided to have a little chat with Buddha. With my mixed feelings of wonderment and confusion, in my awe of all the colors and abundance, I wasn't sure I really got to the real Buddha. Or was I on a senseless Western quest for... identity? Is that it, dear Buddha? #buddha #vietnam #pagoda #vietnamtravel #saigon #asia #buddhism als...

Plants in Pots in Vietnam - A Pot Rap
มุมมอง 2.5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Plants in Pots. The streets of Vietnam are full of them. The return to normal street life after the long lockdown looked like a perfect moment to celebrate those modest potted gems. The love in there. The colours, the vitality and diversity, the pride and the sheer joy. And the fun we had in making this photo-video-pot-rap or whatever you want to call it. I shot, wrote, assembled and voiced it....

      Well, feel free to be puzzled... So don't try to look for rational answers or a single 'message'. There's many ways to look at it... Like some dream you wake up from. On the other hand, if you focus on the idea 'What if the Sun Takes a Day Off' then a lot is very simple, I think... ;-)

    It's been a while now, but it was a great pleasure to shoot this short with a wonderful, almost all first-timers-on-this-kind-of-set team in Saigon. I think it's a universal story, but with an undeniably Vietnamese touch and mood to it. It definitely breathes the love of all involved.

    I mean you can get many variations of a burger, without having to buy coke, it can be healthy, you can cook it fresh, it's just that most fastfood restaurants aren't meant to be fresh. Also there are many restaurants that the establishment offers burgers that it could be expected from almost any fastfood restaurant that has burgers.

    OMG.. 3:23 was such a glad moment for me. I remember 10 years ago when my father was gifted Danise cookie box on Diwali festival. I really enjoyed them but after so many years could not remembered the name. I know they were cookies but didn't know the brand name. The moment I saw 3:23 I felt so grateful and looking forward to order them soon.
