Building a working Washington:12 years of progress under the Inslee Administration
I'm proud to present one of the biggest documentary projects in my filmmaking journey, highlighting and condensing the Inslee Administration's transformative 12-year tenure into a compelling 55-minute narrative.
Joby (Chief of Staff) and I interviewed over 25 people, and while many stories landed on the cutting room floor, this documentary captures the essence of Washington's progress during a period of unprecedented change, from groundbreaking climate initiatives to nation-leading social justice policies; it was truly an honor and a privilege to capture history for the future generations to come.
In the heart of Tacoma's Lincoln District, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion at the 35th annual Lunar New Year celebration. The snow was falling, the air was crisp, but the warmth of community spirit made everything worthwhile.
This year was extra special—not only has Washington state finally recognized Lunar New Year as an official state holiday, but we also had the honor of recognizing the visionary founders of this celebration, Oanh "Lee Lee" Lam and Lisa Mathusz, who started it all 35 years ago.
Fright Nights at Playland/PNE Fair in Vancouver B.C.
Welcome to Fright Nights!! It was our first time experiencing live scare actors, and we were not disappointed! Fright Nights is a truly terrifying experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good scare. Unfortunately, according to their website, this will be the last year: "2022 will be the final year for the Hollywood Horrors haunted house and will be retired after this Halloween season."

For 12 years, Spaceworks Tacoma has been a pillar of support for artists and creative entrepreneurs in Tacoma. What began as a downtown window filled with art has turned into a suite of programs that empower creatives to grow as professionals.
I had the opportunity to film Spaceworks Alumni for CACHET - A Fundraiser for Spaceworks and Tacoma’s Creative Economy.

OUR TACOMA | THE LINCOLN DISTRICT
A film by Silong Chhun
The Lincoln Business District is the most diverse commercial district in Tacoma Washington. With a variety of family-owned businesses ranging from Vietnamese restaurants to Mexican bakeries, we explore the changing landscape and Tacoma's effort to revitalize the area into a more accessible area for the community to gather.
A team of filmmakers interviews Bambu Tacoma, Taqueria La Fondita, Uncle Thurms Finger Lickin' Ribs & Chicken, and Lincoln Hardware for their insight on the area, the revitalization, and what it takes to be a successful business in the diverse community that is the Lincoln District.
