My First Video Contest Entry!


I'm sooooo excited! Why? Because I shot video for the Art Shots 2010, film contest which partners upcoming film makers with creative and musical artists and performers from Silicon Valley in California. Collaborators of this premier event are Artsopolis, a non-profit online arts guide and the San Jose 48 Hour Film Project. Six filmmakers are competing and are judged by online votes. Produced by David Nigel Brooks, I shot the dancing footage of contest entry, "Wednesday Night Hop" which is located at the Cheryl Burke Studio ("Dancing with the Stars" instructor ) in Mountain View, California.

It was a joy to watch and interview the dance instructors. What's even more amazing is that our film crew of three met for the the first time online the weekend before when we were asked to produce the film with a one and a half week looming deadline. The previous producer had bailed on the project. With the time clock ticking away, we took a deep breath, hustled and got our stuff together.

Please submit your vote by May 21 on http://www.artsopolis.com/poll/detail/25

I also shot footage of dance instructors, Trevor Gattis and Audrey Kanemoto dancing no holds bar with flips and turns to the delight of strolling spectators at the Shoreline Park in Mountain View. This second entry didn't make it in time for the contest but you can still enjoy it on You Tube. See below video post.

So spread the word, or actually the contest link, and vote for Wednesday Night Hop!

Obsidian Security's Ben Johnson - From the NSA to Emerging Cybersecurity Startups

I've worked at rapid growth companies and emerging technologies are always on the milestone. In the Cybersecurity space, tools in  security operations and analytics such as  EDR, NTA, UBA, SOAR, and recently, XDR have evolved into household terms.  So what's next?  CDR - Cloud Detection and Response When I heard about cloud security, I researched and came  across an online interview - "Frictionless SaaS Security" -  with Ben Johnson, one of the Co-Founders of ​ Obsidian Security, ​ a three-year-old startup based in Newport Beach. "Frictionless" evokes visions of seamless, smooth, and easy deployment and use.  Is it really possible to deploy an uncomplicated cloud security solution that will address a very complex problem?  This frictionless solution is the next emerging tool called Cloud Detection and Response.  I found the interview very insightful as it dove into Ben’s backstory from working for the NSA ...

Cupertino Cherry Blossom Festival

It is refreshing to write about a non-political and lighthearted review of a local cultural annual event. Yes, I'm "taking a well deserved break from politics",  my boyfriend Paul chimed. To give you some context, when I do watch television or go online,  I primarily watch news and the current political climate.  The balmy weather was the perfect backdrop for the two day 36th annual Japanese spring celebration known as Cherry Blossom Festival last weekend.  I've seen the banner line the streets of Cupertino last month but decided to attend by invitation of my friend Miyuki who was performing the traditional tea ceremony. It was the perfect lazy Sunday to visit Miyuki and watch her craft at the Quinlan Community Center.  I also had a chance to see my other ex-coworker, Maki, who also participated in the tea ceremony. I've seen tea ceremonies on television but never live so I was really excited to see Miyuki in action. A woman was narrating the entire ...

Bay Area Asian Bone Marrow Drive - News Article

https://youtu.be/2HNG96Jghd8 I produced a news story about the need for Asian and Pacific Islander bone marrow/stem cell donors. The Alameda, CA based Asian American Donor Program is conducting year long donor drives throughout the Bay Area. This story has a face to it, instead of a statistic, as one San Francisco native must undergo a bone marrow transplant next month. Diagnosed with leukemia in September, she hasn't found a match...yet. The self help swab donation kits can be mailed to residences. It's a simple process including paper work processing. For more information about the Asian American Donor Program, visit  http://www.aadp.org/. My news article:
