The colors of Expats tell a story. 🎨 @colorpalette.cinema
That moment when I recorded “We’re All Alone” for @thumbelulu’s hit @primevideo series – #Expats starring @nicolekidman Go watch as my vocals close out Episode 5 only on @primevideo 📺
I’ve been thinking a lot about soft power vs hard power. Hollywood is known for its pursuit of hard power – “money, fame, external influence and affirmation, power and scale” (as said beautifully by @veramiao who always leads me to think in more expansive ways). But in embracing soft power, we can choose to only make things we love, and choose to only work with those we feel we can create meaning with. I could not have chosen more incredible partners than @sarayublue and @brian_tee and it gives me such immense joy to watch them show their full range in these roles. Soft power is @nicolekidman allowing us to use her name and prestige to create a platform for so many other talented folks who don’t often get offered the same kind of meaty roles. I hope to see more leverage of soft power to shift culture and expand narrative perspectives. Thank you @therebeccasun for this insightful piece spotlighting two stars that have so much more shine in them than we can even imagine.

The final episode of EXPATS premieres this weekend. Here are a few words from my conversation with @al__horner of @scriptapart on ambiguous loss, grief and the space we wanted to create for the inner lives of women. It’s been an absolute joy and honor to create this series… I hope it gives someone out there some hope, and the strength to be resilient in the face of uncertainties.
Honored to be a co-owner of the Village Theater in Westwood with this esteemed group. Let’s all go to the movies! 🍿🎥🎬🙏

Such a wonderful conversation between two Hong Kong greats Ann Hui and Stanley Kwan on @criterioncollection . Always aspire to stay playful in your filmmaking – to shoot in a fun and different way. Aspire to have interesting ideas rather than to be “good.”
I’m so moved by all the beautiful messages since 105 dropped. Thank you for watching, for being part of the larger dialogue I hoped to start with this series. Too many things I want to say, but for now I’ll just share a few moments from set with my incredible Expats family. 1. Pre-record of “Roar” for the opening scene. 2. Our ADs demonstrating how an actor who doesn’t play piano could use a hand double. 3. Maggie Li rehearsing her climb. 4. The poor extra who braved the rain way too many times for this shot and laughed and thumbs upped me after every take. 5. More rain. So much rain. 6. Joey our key grip holds umbrellas for the ladies and lovin it. 7. Joey. LOVING it. 8. Glamorous video village. 9. Bodhi, Tiana and Connor – sibling love. 10. Blocking rehearsal. Chauncey plays Gus.
