David Chiu

This is a little after the fact, but the short film Jun & Xin screens at the DGA (Directors Guild of America) tonight (well, last night). I play the title role of Jun, a displaced young man searching for identity and acceptance from his family and others.

I sport a crew cut in the movie since I shaved my head the beginning of this year as a kind of “deconstruction of self” in search of the true self inside me. (in reality, I was just tired of my long hair, but the look didn’t work for me so I grew my hair back out.)
