I was carried onto a helicopter during the fall of Saigon as an infant. My mother was processing the evacuation lists—deciding who would escape and who would stay behind—while holding me in her arms.

That experience of displacement and reinvention shaped everything I create today.

After working on 27 major Hollywood films—from Sin City to Mission: Impossible II—I learned something that changed how I see storytelling. Visual effects aren't just technical tricks. They're emotional architecture. Every frame should serve the heart, not just the eye.

In 2006, Kris and I started Phame Factory because we kept asking the same question: What if cinema could do more than entertain? What if it could actually heal?

We develop films and television that explore transformation, cultural healing, and the quiet moments that shape who we become. Not because it's trendy, but because it's necessary.

Innovation without tradition is like a tree without roots. We plant stories that grow into something lasting.
