Recognition & Achievement

My short film "Kat" won the Showtime Network Grand Prize and apparently influenced a character in Kill Bill. Still processing that one.

"A Boat Story" made it to Sundance Writers' Lab as a finalist, which felt like validation that these stories matter to more than just us.

My recent short film 'Home,' shot in IMAX format, won the Audience Award at Austin Film Festival in 2024. Sometimes the smallest stories need the biggest canvas.

Our magazine Vietnow is now part of a permanent Smithsonian exhibit, which is surreal but meaningful.

But honestly, the recognition that matters most is when someone tells us our work helped them feel less alone in the world.
