    Thanks, Phil.
    It took me sometime to finally get the permission from this Swedish group...don't think their music is available in the U.S. yet.

    Nice to see a Portland piece on here! I'll have to try and catch the premiere.

    Thanks, Brian.
    I like your Vanport piece.
    Mine is a one-woman's production so don't expect too much. Although, I am honored to have the opportunity to make a doc about a Chinatown that seems to be neglected for many decades. Come say Hi, if you do make it to the premiere.

    yes, both Nikkei center and OTCT neighnorhood association have been involved in this project. One thing I am very grateful is to have the opportunity to meet many community organizations and key players and got the chance to hear all sides of story, so to speak.

    The main purpose of this film is to inform and explore the history/struggles/directions of urban renewals efforts in Chinatown, with the rich legacy as foundation....the legacy that very few people know about.

    you from Chicago?
    i moved to Portland from Illinois 6.5 years ago...your video is very interesting....

    Managed to catch about an hour of it at the showing. Very interesting piece and I learned a lot about Chinatown and what Portland is working on development-wise. Thanks for sharing!
