CODE 8: PART II is out worldwide on Netflix today! It’s been such a fulfilling journey from the short film, to the first feature, and now the sequel. Lead by our amazing director Jeff Chan!

I got to contribute to the sequel as a Storyboard Artist and an Associate Producer alongside our talented cast and crew. As a kid, I never imagined that I would be drawing for movies, and I definitely never imagined seeing my name on the big screen in the opening title of a movie!

@code8movie has been personally and creatively fulfilling and I am so proud to be a part of it. The opportunity to work alongside the best in the business has been my film school and has allowed me to grow so much. Thank you to Jeff, Chris, and Robbie for letting me play in this sandbox again. Thank you Marie, Brian, Sophia, Steven, Heathcote, Kai, Amanda, Matthew, Michael, and Matt for letting me pick your brains and sharing your knowledge with me. It’s been a huge honor and privilege to be part of this journey with you all!

Lastly, huge thanks to my family for your support, Cousin April and Romain for being there at premiere with me, and my parents for the leap of faith you took so that I can also take a leap of faith.

Please give your support to all the hard working people behind this project and give CODE 8 and CODE 8: PART II a watch and two thumbs up on Netflix! 👍🏼👍🏼You’ll be in for a treat!

Next week is the start of Class 1 of 2 of the Animatic Showcase classes!

Fundamentals of Story and Writing class begins next Thursday and will be the pre-req if you’re interested in joining us for this two part class leading up to our 2026 Animatic Showcase in October!

This class is so rewarding for me as a teacher to showcase your hard work on the big screen with friends, family, and industry people. Registration and details are on my profile handle and I hope to see you in class next week!

#storyboard #animation #animatic #short #film

Haven’t drawn for myself in a while so wanted to draw Thao and his new cousins! Still chipping away slowly at this passion project with the help of friends. It’s fun to see the cousins together. More to come!

#art #sketch #drawing #animation #film

It’s that time of the year where I teach my annual writing class that preps us for the next student animatic showcase class where we spend the next 5-6 months witting, storyboarding, and then screening our animatics on the big screen in the fall!

Registration for the upcoming class is on my linktree in my profile links. Hope to see you in class!

I had the honor and privilege to contribute storyboards for Star Wars Visions 3 - “The Song of Four Wings”

Huge special thanks to @willbot74 for making my anime dreams come true 😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you to our amazing director Hiroyasu Kobayashi @virtualboys for your visionary direction with jaw dropping animation brought to life by the amazing production of @projectstudio_q

I had the opportunity of watching the Star Wars: Visions 3 trailer on the big screen at Star Wars Celebration this year in Tokyo and my jaw dropped seeing it with the crowd. It reminded me again of the wonderment that animation can give us. My deepest thanks again to everyone above for this memorable experience. Cheers to wonderment 😊

It took a year to arrive but finally got my Emmy contribution certificate for storyboarding! This was for Quiz Lady when we won Outstanding Television Movie in 2024! A special project that gifted me with lots of great memories :)

Many thanks to our amazing director Jessica Yu for bringing me on!

I recently had the honor and privilege of being one of the judges for Vietnam’s very first Animation IP Contest.

It was so inspiring and humbling to see all projects and meet the amazing talent behind it. I’m super grateful that the community has been so welcoming of me and I look forward to other opportunities to collaborate with them.

Growing up I never got to meet many Vietnamese artists.Even in Los Angeles, it’s a very small community in animation. But in the last 2 years I’ve got to connect with so many other Vietnamese animation artists from all over the world at Annecy and in Vietnam. It warms my heart to know that there are so many of us out there with a deep passion for animation and storytelling.

I know there will be an exciting future to come for animation in Vietnam. Everyone there is super hungry to learn and hone their craft. They’re passionate in wanting to tell their stories and share it with the world. The group photo of everyone in that room is just the tip of the iceberg of the amazing talented artists that will bring forth animation as a big force in Vietnam.

Thank you @vava_vietnam_association for the invitation and hosting such a wonderful event. Many thanks to Phúc Anh for organizing the entire event.

Cheers to all the people who contributed and were a part of this momentous event!

I recently had the honor and privilege of being one of the judges for Vietnam’s very first Animation IP Contest.

It was so inspiring and humbling to see all projects and meet the amazing talent behind it. I’m super grateful that the community has been so welcoming of me and I look forward to other opportunities to collaborate with them.

Growing up I never got to meet many Vietnamese artists.Even in Los Angeles, it’s a very small community in animation. But in the last 2 years I’ve got to connect with so many other Vietnamese animation artists from all over the world at Annecy and in Vietnam. It warms my heart to know that there are so many of us out there with a deep passion for animation and storytelling.

I know there will be an exciting future to come for animation in Vietnam. Everyone there is super hungry to learn and hone their craft. They’re passionate in wanting to tell their stories and share it with the world. The group photo of everyone in that room is just the tip of the iceberg of the amazing talented artists that will bring forth animation as a big force in Vietnam.

Thank you @vava_vietnam_association for the invitation and hosting such a wonderful event. Many thanks to Phúc Anh for organizing the entire event.

Congrats to all my students for completing our second annual First Story Academy Student Showcase where we screened 21 short film animatics each averaging about 3 minutes to a packed room at the Landmark Theater (80 seats!) in Pasadena during Lightbox Expo weekend.

Each student wrote their very own 3 page script, storyboarded it, and then created a full animatic with sound, dialogue, and music for the big screen! We had programming brochure and class posters for the students to sign. With the online classes I wanted the students to have a tangible memento to walk off with to commemorate their time together.

The purpose of this class was to empower each student to not only see themselves as a storyboard artist but as a writer/director. They don’t have to wait around for someone to give them permission to put their work on the big screen. They can create their own opportunities for themselves because of their passion to learn and tell their own stories.

I’m still blown away that we had students fly in from Kentucky, Texas, Arizona, Idaho, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, South Carolina, and Philippines in order to see their work on the big screen.

Huge thanks to @rich_liverance for helping them out with their animatics and Bob and Teri for preparing the after party to celebrate their work.

Many thanks to industry friends for coming out to support and connect with the students: @patrickharpin @janelikesstuff @allenzhangart @yes_to_the_jesss @papernewt @kidskribble @danhollandart @itsjaa_mee @hithere_heather @solarsoph @eunicesketches @melismas @storyduke @shomantha @charlieartspace @ink.fist

Lastly thanks to my students for entrusting in me with your education and sticking with me. You all have also taught me so much as well and have made me a better teacher and human being. Thank you all so much!

This is a community effort so I deeply appreciate everyone for showing up for one another. The communal theatrical experience of seeing your work on the big screen is a really special one. I look forward to doing it again with you all next year. Until then, rest up and I hope to see you in class in 2026!!!

I look forward to doing it again with you all next year. Until then, rest up and I hope to see you in class in 2026!!!

Congrats to all my students for completing our second annual First Story Academy Student Showcase where we screened 21 short film animatics each averaging about 3 minutes to a packed room at the Landmark Theater (80 seats!) in Pasadena during Lightbox Expo weekend.

Each student wrote their very own 3 page script, storyboarded it, and then created a full animatic with sound, dialogue, and music for the big screen! We had programming brochure and class posters for the students to sign. With the online classes I wanted the students to have a tangible memento to walk off with to commemorate their time together.

The purpose of this class was to empower each student to not only see themselves as a storyboard artist but as a writer/director. They don’t have to wait around for someone to give them permission to put their work on the big screen. They can create their own opportunities for themselves because of their passion to learn and tell their own stories.

I’m still blown away that we had students fly in from Kentucky, Texas, Arizona, Idaho, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, South Carolina, and Philippines in order to see their work on the big screen.

Huge thanks to @rich_liverance for helping them out with their animatics and Bob and Teri for preparing the after party to celebrate their work.

Many thanks to industry friends for coming out to support and connect with the students: @patrickharpin @janelikesstuff @allenzhangart @yes_to_the_jesss @papernewt @kidskribble @danhollandart @itsjaa_mee @hithere_heather @solarsoph @eunicesketches @melismas @storyduke @shomantha @charlieartspace @ink.fist
