PSA on Dolphin Awareness & "THE COVE"

A couple months ago, musician/filmmaker Andres Useche asked me if I would be in a PSA he was making to help bring awareness to the dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan, depicted in the documentary film, . The film had just been nominated for an Academy Award, but I had yet to see it. However, much had already been publicized about the film, and its subject—a little known brutal routine taking place in the town of Taiji, of capturing and slaughtering thousands of dolphins and selling them as "whale meat&...Read more

"Imagined Futures" APA Artist Conference in Los Angeles – May 2

We are spoiled, living in LA.  Having been around as long as I have, I sometimes find it remarkable how much is going on in the Asian American artists' community.
