Great first game of the LA Kings opening playoffs ending with a win! So thankful that Vivi Gregg invited me! And watching in a suite! What a fun night.
I told her I'm good luck and she has to invite me every game. 😂

This is my DP, Wey Wang, for my short film, Coming Home.
If he looks like he knows what he's doing, it's because he does.
If it looks like he cares about his job and the shot, it's because he does.
The guy is brilliant. And so kind.
Hire him! Here's his imdb

Well that's a wrap. Two days of shooting my short. It was so fun! I loved my crew. I loved my amazing cast. My DP will make my film look brilliant! My producers believed in me and my project. We had fun. What more could a female director want?
But where is everyone? I feel lost without my team 😂

Please block and report this account. The profile pic is the brother of my sister in law. When I asked info on him to see if it was truly him he blocked me which means it’s not him. I reported and blocked him too. Whoever he is, he’s hiding behind a fake photo.
