Stories That Bridge Worlds
The last thing I remember about Vietnam is my aunt's face.
She was the one who held me, who I ran to before I ran to anyone else. When Operation Frequent Wind began — the final evacuation of Saigon in April 1975 — I knew we were leaving and I knew she wasn't coming. I asked her why.
She said: this trip is not for me.
Then she held me and cried. I didn't understand the crying. I thought we were taking a family trip. I felt her sadness without knowing its depth, and something in me understood that this moment was different — without being able to say why.
That gap between what was spoken and what was true became the thing I've spent my life trying to close — in every frame, every story, every project.
Phame Factory is the company Kris and I built to do that. We develop films, series, and multimedia projects rooted in authentic experience, made with the craft and relationships to reach audiences across every cultural line that tries to divide them.
We work with a small number of partners at a time. If you're curious about working together, we'd rather have a real conversation than send a brochure.
