Description: Over 10 year ago, a group of Asian American community artists said, "Yes, KSW, an arts organization from the '70s, is still relevant," and we created an all-day arts expo for emerging Asian American artists.

This video captures APAture's impact on emerging artists by tracking the growth of 2008 featured artist, Hellen Jo.

Collaboration: Originally this was supposed to be a compilation of audio interviews with former APAture artists mixed with photos like a soundslideshow. But I realized we could create something viral via youtube and enlisted the help of previous collaborator, RJ Lozada.

I was to mix the audio while RJ and I thought up a visual concept. We came up with the timelapse idea and then Hellen's interview revealed such a strong narrative, we decided to stay focused on her story.

I'll be using the other interviews in an audio piece I make for the APAture Retrospective website.

Music: Once again, Scrabbel Dan helps out with the music.
