my interview from SFU

I just realized that my interview from SFU has already been posted! It's so kind of Dean Lastoria to describe me in such a lovely way. I'm truly proud of SFU and really inspired by it's supportive and creative environment. This innovative spirit lives on. My life is so colourful and it's still expanding. Much love to all the humble intellectuals/artists that knows how to make educations fun and keeping our artistry and creative souls alive.

Recently our School started offering honours degrees to students who have achieved high marks, and studied significantly more than is normally expected. One of the first Film students to receive the honors BFA is Sammy Chien who convocated this June.

Sammy is a great example of a successful student. He took advantage of all the interdisciplinary opportunities this department has to offer … and made some of his own. He learned the strong disciplinary core of the Film Program and then branched out working most recently with Dance on amazing video projections for performances.

Given Sammy’s successes with video projection in live performances one might think that 16mm film would be something he has outgrown, but Sammy feels that it is important.
