What inspired you to start your entertainment company Tigertail Pictures?

I've always been passionate about storytelling and the power of visual media to connect people across cultures and experiences. After studying at the New York Film Academy and gaining invaluable industry experience, I realized there was a gap in the market for a production company that not only creates high-quality content, but also emphasizes a collaborative approach with clients. I wanted to build a company that could amplify voices and stories, while helping brands and individuals make a significant impact through video and animation. This vision inspired me to start Tigertail Pictures. Additionally, I founded the Tigertail Asian Film Festival, an Asian-inspired festival, the first of its kind in Tampa, open to all. This festival celebrates Asian cinema, bringing together filmmakers, artists, and enthusiasts to explore the diverse and vibrant tapestry of Asian cultures through film. Showcasing a curated selection of contemporary and classic films from across Asia, the festival offers a unique opportunity to experience the rich storytelling traditions, compelling narratives, and innovative filmmaking techniques that define the region's cinematic landscape.
