Stephane Gauger is the director of Owl and the Sparrow. Standing tall (I’m not that short), he’s a hot up and coming director and his film is one to check out. I’m not saying too much about him, but keep him in mind, you’ll hear of him here and there at some point soon. Owl and the Sparrow showed at the LA International Film Festival, who’s kicking ass this year. Doing their thing in Westwood was a genius move.

Lane Hirabayashi Know him? I’m not going to explain everything about this man. So just read this. Imagine, I went to SF State for a second, and although I can’t say I had a great time up there, I did have a great teacher. This was way back in the 90s, and Lane taught an Asian American studies class that was probably one of the more memorable classes I took while in college. You’d think it would be a class in your major, or maybe something fun, but his class was neither, it was just a good one. Now he’s a chairperson of Asian American Studies at UCLA, and some of his visions will actually get recognized. It was cool sitting and talking to him for a while and catching up. He’s had 1000s of students, I was just one from way back. I wonder if the other 1000s think he’s rad? I’ll write more about him once in a while.

This dude is amazing. I hope I’m not being bamboozled like I am with the rest of the web. Some things just can’t cross the line. This can’t be one of them. He’s like Latka on Taxi, completely turned around, innocent, and nice. His accent in Japanese is spot on, and his mannerisms, weird words, gestures, are all legit. Hope he finds his parents.
