I lived in Bangkok for 6 months directing, writing, shooting, and editing the third season of a show for MTV Asia called “Whatever Things.” It was the highest rated show in all of Asia with an international audience of 250 million and hosted by Edison Chen.

This was a seminal experience for me. I saw all of Asia, did terribly dangerous things totally unsupervised, and figured out how to make people laugh even when there’s no common language.
