What Makes “Boys Like Boys” a Global Success- A Tell-All with Director Huang Ting Chun
Committing to a dream isn’t an easy task; especially when you are a filmmaker. It means copious amounts of planning, understanding the script better than anyone else and prudently working with the actors to recognize their own vision. A “Make or Break” scenario that tests the director’s caliber; more so when you are working on reality television that is devoid of a readable script. Focusing your energy on different contestants to draw the best out of them requires certain amount of detailing which Director Huang Ting Chun excels at. We had a thoughtful reminiscence about his varied works and it was compelling!
“Dead Boy Detectives” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
“Dead Boy Detectives” is a fun show that doesn’t take itself too seriously, while also providing the audience with a wide range of themes from existential life and death lessons about growing (and dying) pains, to mystery, drama, friendship and romance.

“Khar Taw Mi” Movie Review
I have a confession to make here. I had to watch this series twice to fully appreciate it. I dislike obfuscation and initially felt that is what was going on in this short film. Perhaps because I am from the United States, I like things to be made crystal clear and upfront. Which, of course, this short film does not. Being also inquisitive, I read a variety of comments about this short film which certainly educated me. I realized how myopic and clouded my thinking was. Therefore, I watched it again in light of my newfound appreciation of traditional Burmese culture and Myanmar’s current political climate.
“My Stand-In” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Love isn’t always beautiful or happy. In truth, love isn’t really about beauty at all but the depths to which we can fall, good or bad. The beautiful is in the good. The pain is in the bad.
