ETA is a first-gen Vietnamese-American genrefluid filmmaker raised in Tustin, CA by refugees of the American War in Vietnam. Their debut feature film, Stockton 2 Malone, premiered via AFROPUNK and was lauded for infusing "intersectional, diverse identities into the mumblecore subgenre."
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 Pico-Union, a historically Latine area just outside Downtown LA, is starting its festival run, winning Best Extended Short Film at Strange Days Horror Fest and being nominated for Best Short Narrative, Best Editing, Best Sound Design, and Best Director for the upcoming New York Odyssey Film Festival.
