Bang Bang Betty: Valerie's Revenge (2023)
Excellent Action Film!!!
My husband Paul and I went to see Alex T Hwang and Kate Wells Hwang's action movie "Bang Bang Betty: Valerie's Revenge" last night at the TCL Chinese Theatre at the Golden State Film Festival, and we were both amazed! The film has incredible production value, acting, direction, and music. The stunts by Gary Choi and the Rising Star Stunt Team were fantastic and it was exciting to see so many of my friends on the screen! The acting was very believable, and I especially enjoyed the comedy in the film by Gerald Parrish and the sinister character of Luna. Congratulations to Alex, Kate and the entire cast and crew!

Interstellar Civil War (2017)
A Masterpiece!
I just watched the final cut of Interstellar Civil War: Shadows of the Empire and it is a masterpiece! I liked the first cut of it, but there was a lot of green screen and the story was new to me. This final version is amazing! I love the special effects and the music and the fact that the General is a woman. I also liked the shots of the Empress coming into the scenes. The acting was uniformly great throughout and I was very impressed with the fight scenes. The cinematography and coloring of the film are spectacular and the special effects remind me of the first Nemesis - my favorite film of all time! Now I understand who the villain Kendo Kur is and the ending is fantastic! The star Brad Thornton is a superstar in the making!
Holy Terror (2017)
Great story and cinematography!
I really enjoyed watching "Holy Terror". The production value and the cinematography by Gregory Hatanaka were excellent, and the story reels you in. The lighting and the music really set the tone of the film, and added to the suspense. The performances were also very good. I was especially impressed with Scott Butler, Mel Novak, Vida Ghaffari and Lisa London.
Mr. Nakamura's Addiction (2012)
Mr. Nakamura's Addiction Is a Beautifully Crafted Short Film
Mr. Nakamura's Addiction is a beautifully written and beautifully photographed short film that has a very creative ending. I interviewed Scott Erikkson when the film was selected for the 2012 Newport Beach Film Festival for Seth Metoyer's MoreHorror in Hollywood. There is a black & white sequence in the film that is very impressive, and the music by Mike Kobayashi adds to the suspense. The producer, along with Eriksson, and editor of Mr. Nakamura's Addiction is Eric Chenjie Pan. Pan is a long-time collaborator on videos with Erikkson and did a magnificent job on the editing. I am a long-time follower of Erikkson's blog "Asians on Film", and Mr. Nakamura's Addiction shows that he is just as talented at filmmaking as he is at writing.
