Remember Hmong-American actor who played Spider in Gran Torino a.k.a. Doua Moua? HE NEEDS YOUR HELP TO FUND THIS FILM. SPREAD THE WORD.

THE INSPIRATION “I DIE, I DIM and I SHINE” is a film about lies, truth, love and the unforgotten. My inspiration for writing this screenplay is from loving to much and living a truthful life that leads me to lie. Lying is sometimes the best way for people to live an unforgotten life, pleasing those you love so they would feel that they’re living a truthful life. But all it does to you is hurt you the most, leaving you to live half a life. Writing became a mechanism for me to express my moments of emotional truth.

“Knock on wood” my father has been sick for years from Kidney Failure and the inspiration for writing and wanting to direct this film is for my father to see something that I’ve accomplished. Cause all my life my parents has been to busy trying to give the American Dream to Two different generations of kids; my uncles, now my siblings and I, that they never had the chance to see any of my work. So writing this screenplay is my way of dealing with that One Day that my father wont be there at my wedding, see his grandkids grow up, and see me grow old. Which in “I DIE, I DIM and I SHINE” we have two family that comes together by chance, working through their loses and fighting for those unforgotten memories that they once shared with their love ones. A newly happy engaged Kim comes home, after her mother has passed away from cancer two years ago, to find that her father, Bob, has been engaged to a new woman, Maria. And surprisingly Maria is actually Kim’s finance Brandon’s mother. Kim’s family died, lost a piece of themselves after her mother passed away and through life they mat new people that slowly help them dim a bit brighter. As love is usually the case that makes everyone feels greater in life, Kim and Bob shines brighter when they fell in love. But that leaves Chase, Kim’s little brother, who still dwells on his own pace about the unforgotten memories of his mother. ”I DIE, I DIM and I SHINE”
