A filmmaking dream

31 year-old Vietnamese American Jenni Trang Le, who has worked as an assistant director in several high-profile movies such as Phan Dang Di’s Bi, Don’t Be Afraid knows she will make her own great films one day.
Her latest short film Chay! Co Chac Khong? (Just Run), which is taking part in the on-going short film competition Clip 48G Super 8, has drawn public attention.
Graduated from the University of California in Los Angeles with a BA in Anthropology, Le first worked as an assistant director for Stephane Gauger’s award-wining movie Cu va Chim Se Se and Charlie Nguyen’s Dong Mau Anh Hung (The Rebel) both in 2006.
A year later, in January 2007, Le shot her own 5-minute cartoon titled Me Oi! (Oh Mommy!).
Shown on the Internet, the cartoon brought her many audiences.
But it was Chay! Co Chac Khong? that definitely launched Le as a director.
Basing on the story of the blockbuster movie “Super 8” of American director J.J Abram which is now playing in Vietnamese theatres, Le’s movie has had almost 100,000 views with 430 likes from Youtube users which make it a strong contender in the competition.
Le and her friends, cameraman Tony and script writer Jayvee Mai The Hiep worked very hard in two days to make the 6-minute-long movie.
Le said she was happy with positive comments and sad with negative ones and knew for sure whether people liked her work or not, she was taking the first step to become a true filmmaker as she had always dreamt to be.
