What I’ve Learned This Week – The New Generations of Emerging Asian American Artists
Posted: September 24, 2010 in What I've Learned and How I've SurvivedTags: Aaron Yoshino, Asian American, Asian American Musician, Asian American rapper, Asian Legacy, culture, fried rice, Hyphen Magazine, Interpretations, Jake Shimabukuro, James Z.

So recently I’ve been reading the new issue of Hyphen Magazine and I just love these writers! They have so much to share and it goes beyond more than just mere delight of a daily read or entertainment. As I keep reading these articles of regarding Asian American music, film, events, history, emerging artist, aspiring filmmakers and culture, I’ve learned so much more on the people they highlight, Asian cultures and the stories of these hidden yet successful Asians/Asian Americans. Yup that’s right…HIDDEN or lesser known. Often times you don’t hear much about successful Asian Americans in the U.S. Maybe famous Asian Americans in the entertainment media industry like Justin Lin, Grace Park, WongFu Production, but nowhere else would you hear news like awesome Ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro, Hard working filmmaker James Z. Feng, or the history of Laos and their current situation. Visit their site for the magazine preview and if you love their articles, I encourage everyone to subscribe to them because their articles ROCK! http://www.hyphenmagazine.com/magazine/current

Interpretations is hosted by [...]

Hey everyone, Last week I just went out with Roshelle to do some test footages at Airport Blvd. near the Embassy Suite and SFO. The location where I shot was just lovely, beautiful view of the San Francisco Bay and airplane descending. With the test footage I want to use my creativity and create a [...]
