ETA

ETA is a first-gen Vietnamese-American genrefluid filmmaker raised in Tustin, CA by refugees of the American War in Vietnam. Their debut lo-fi feature, Stockton 2 Malone, premiered via AFROPUNK and was lauded for infusing “intersectional, diverse identities into the mumblecore genre.” Confluence, their documentary short exploring ancestry and identity through first-person testimonies and live musical performances, has screened at several film festivals around the US and abroad, including Oscar-qualifying Busan International Short Film Fest and SF DocFest, Viet Film Fest and NewFilmmakers LA. Their most recent project, White Gaze, a gentrification horror short set in a historically Latine area just outside Downtown Los Angeles, is starting its festival run and has already won and been nominated for several awards at various film festivals.
