Dictaphone Parcel


Animated short film, Royal College of Art, London, 2009

Dictaphone Parcel is an animation based on a sound recorded with a dictaphone travelling secretly inside a parcel. As the hidden recorder travels through the global mail system, from London to Helsinki, it captures the unexpected. We hear a mixture of abstract sounds, various types of transport and even discussions between the mail workers. The animation visualizes this journey by creating an imaginary documentary.

Dictaphone Parcel was awarded the Passion Pictures Prize in London, in February 2010.

Machete: LA Premiere at Orpheum Theatre


The Orpheum Theatre was the scene of LA’s most memorable film premiere in decades as the cast of MACHETE was paraded around the block in custom lowrider cars before joining ecstatic fans for the screening. Keeping in theme with the film, a mariachi band performed while people took their seats. Stars in attendance included MACHETE cast members Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Don Johnson, and Cheech Marin. Quentin Tarantino was among the Hollywood elite who came out to show their support. The director himself, Robert Rodriguez, introduced the cast before the film began and the man of the hour, Danny Trejo, spoke about the origins of the MACHETE idea. Like the promotional campaign itself, it was an evening that highlighted the unique nature of the film.

BYUN: THIS MUST BE THE PLACE


Produced and directed by Ben Wu and David Usui,
of Lost & Found Film, http://www.lostfoundfilms.com

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE

There's no place like home. It's where we live, work and dream. It's our sanctuary and our refuge. We can love them or hate them. It can be just for the night or for the rest of our lives. But whoever we may be, we all have a place we call home.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE is a series of short films that explore the idea of home; what makes them, how they represent us, why we need them.
