INTERVIEW: ALEX TSE

Preface: I met Alex Tse at the VC Film Festival this year; I had followed his career off and on since the days when he wrote the script for Sucker Free City and as it turns out, Alex knew my music writing thanks to his connection with Bay Area hip-hop groups. I've always been fascinated by the process and business of screenwriting and Alex was gracious enough to meet me in Long Beach to talk about his work and career thus far.

INTERVIEW: JOHN CHO

Preface: I was really happy to be able to do this; I knew John as a classmate from UC Berkeley - *15 years ago* - and I've taken a lot of pleasure in seeing his career accelerate over that time. I finally had the opportunity to interview him and at the risk of sounding immodest, I thought it was a great conversation, especially with his candor about issues of acting, media and race.
