Spirits of Rebellion: Black Independent Cinema from Los Angeles documents the lives and work of a small critically acclaimed group of black filmmakers and media artists known as the Los Angeles Rebellion, a group brought together through shared experiences as students in the UCLA film production MFA program between 1967 and 1992. Although relatively unknown, the Los Angeles Rebellion was the first collective of minority filmmakers in the US that aimed to reimagine the production process to represent, reflect on, and enrich the day to day lives of people in their own communities. It is now recognized as an important part of the Black Arts movement on the West Coast. Spirits of Rebellion offers the story of the movement in an accessible style through over 30 interviews with the filmmakers today as well as archival footage, clips from rarely seen films of the group, and reflections from leading scholars on film history and African-American cinema.

This is my latest Chinese action film project I acted in called Sniper (狙击手）. It was filmed in Inner Mongolia and was released in March 2020 on iQIY ( 爱奇艺), the Netflix of China. Since release, it has reached top rankings on iQIY and various movie review platforms in China.

I didn't expect to see myself on the news tonight, but this is a short excerpt of what's to come Sunday morning on Fox 11 Los Angeles at 9:00am Pacific.

This is an interview I was asked to do at the end of March, though much has changed since then. I recently had another article on homeschooling published, and have interviews forthcoming with multiple news outlets. Honored to have had this opportunity! Please reach out if you'd like to provide support for our nation's children, specifically those in California.
