"We were in Vientiane, capital of Laos. On our way to Laungprabang Laos!"

In Laos culture, family is the primary asset that feeds the culture, where wisdom is passed down through the generations. Our elders, the sacred ones, remain in the homes for the entirety of their lives giving light to the community, nurturing the environment for future generations to thrive in personal development and more importantly personal responsibility. Our work as filmmakers is to exhibit the values that were, and still are impressed upon us, standing the test of time, in hopes that it may be a blueprint for those less fortunate in the underlying family structure that has evaded so many other communities around the world. Our documentaries are a global necessity, to speak for those who cannot, and to be a foundation for others, as our elders are for us.
