Eat Your Cake; I'm a Vietnamese Refugee
Short Film (Full Length) – 2010
It was a great adventure, but things quickly changed for the worst…
– From the narration
Inventive, funny, and hiding an emotional depth behind its quirky façade, Eat Your Cake; I’m a Vietnamese Refugee’s clever assemblage intensifies the inherent interest of the subject matter. With apparent little formal training as a filmmaker, Tran shows what can be accomplished with a good story and a strong creative point of view.
– Lumiere review of the film's screening in the Homegrown section of the 2010 NZ Film Festival
