Cholon Social Eau De Parfum

A restless moment in the hush of Chợ Lớn. Close encounters become unfinished, unspoken, unforgettable.

Moments longing for more time at Cholon Social.

Can’t describe in words what it meant to see Nghệ stand up in a room full of people at Sundance and be recognized, fifty years after his authorship was taken from him.

“The Stringer” is now playing on Netflix worldwide.

Thanks to @baomnguyen (director) for bringing me on as one of the cinematographers.

The images that follow are from the few scenes I shot for the film. / first photo of Nghệ taken by @thisisge
