Get Into Houa's Mind

Today has been a day spent writing and reflecting on my career as a writer. Since the debut of "Dua Rhe Ib Nplooj Siab," we've gotten massive positive reviews. Have you seen it? What are you thoughts? Please share them with me. If you have not, would you like one? It does have English subtitles. I think this film is amazing, and not just because I wrote it, but if I hadn't, I'd still fall in love with it.  My days have been spent writing and working on future projects. My writing career has definitely taken a great turn. I am so proud of my team. We have come so far and we've only got more greatness ahead of us.  I'm writing to let you know that I am still going to put up Raw Fever. I am bit behind, which I apologize for, and I am working on it. I've gotten a few good reviews on it. If you've read what I've posted, tell me your thoughts.  Have a great day!

A year ago during this time, I was seven months pregnant with my fourth child. I was working on a film with a company called HYK Production and a man named Sue Vang. But before all that, we were just two complete strangers who happened to be in film business. If you rewind two years ago, Sue and I probably stepped on each other's foot and didn't know. But getting to know Sue, working with him, and getting to meet the cast and crew, has been the most wondrous time of my life.  When I first met Sue, it was through email. He contacted me because he'd gone to the premiere of Opposite Blood and I had too. See what I mean by stepping on each other's feet? We both went to the premiere. Him, to support his fellow film maker, and I, because I was there to write a review on the film. A few days later, I released my review and we had a good discussion on it. Then, he shot me an email and asked me if I would consider joining him as a writer. He had a story to tell, but was stu...

What an amazing night! It was a full house both Tuesday and Wednesday night when we premiered our film at AMC theaters. It was jammed packed with fans and families who came to support us. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. On the way to the theater, my nerves were shot to the roof. In the past, it was going to see someone else's film, but this time, it was because I had a part in it. I was literally on edge and I just wanted to scream at the top of my lungs. The moment the screen came on and I saw my name, I almost passed out. For years, as a little girl, I had dreamt of one day seeing my name on the big screen. The feeling is indescribable. I felt numb, I felt alive, I felt butterflies, and I felt tears. It was the most priceless gift ever.  Thank you to everyone who came and supported us. It was a successful event. 

Wow...a year ago, I never thought I'd be here in this situation. I wasn't sure I'd ever be in this situation in my life. And now, just 24 hours away, is the biggest moment of my entire life. I will be seeing my name on the big screen. Do you know, I am chewing on nails right now, feeling numb, and out of breath. Seriously. I am so excited. My biggest dream of seeing my work in theater is almost here! I have such an amazing team that helped brought me here. I am so lucky that I was chosen to be a part of this project. It is now here within my reach and I am just on edge. The shoes, the outfit, the makeup, the hair...all of it is set for tomorrow. Can I put my nerves at rest? Probably not, but I am too happy to care now.  Come see us tomorrow and  Wednesday night, 7PM at AMC Theaters at the Rosedale Shopping Mall. Tickets are $13. See you there!

The evening sun settled down behind the horizon and as the servants busied themselves for dinner, Dakota sat in the study room watching each one of them work. The servants were strange just like their master. They tended to things just as normal servants did, but they didn’t smile or have life in their eyes. They were quiet, to the point, and they never looked at each other. They hardly spoke to one another and she found that strange. Her last servants gossiped, laughed, and joked with each other as they worked. But these ones were eerily quiet. She tried to focus on her book, but she hadn’t turned a page since she sat down half an hour ago. She’d been watching them and hoping that she could figure out something about their master by watching them. But they’d been tightlipped since she sat down.           The servant ladies wore all brown like muddy waters and the men wore all black just like their master. Their attire seemed to be moody...

Dakota woke up to a pounding head and the extreme light from outside didn’t help either. She got out of bed and stumbled over the bed sheets as she walked to the window. It was near mid-morning and she wiped the sleep from her eyes. Outside was a carriage filled with trunks and several servants walking around. She frowned and cocked her head wondering was going on. Turning, she fled out of her chamber and down the stairs.           Loud conversation was heard as was the sound of cleaning and orders being shouted. She saw strange people walking about and she reached out her hands to stop one of them.           “Who are you? What are you doing about in my home?” she asked.           He didn’t answer and kept moving about. She looked around finding the servants moving and changing the designs of the room. When one of the women grabbed the frame of ...

            “Father, you cannot tell me that you’ve given up hope. We can get the company back,” Lady Dakota Trey said as she watched her father’s sunken face. He was sitting in the corner with his white tunic left unbuttoned. His blue eyes were filled with a misty lost look as he let out a deep breath and raised his head to look at her.             “Dakota, there is nothing I can do now, darling. I have given it all my best and I have come up empty. All of my money is gone and I have nothing left. The only way to get out of this is to sell it,” Baron Edward Trey said.             Dakota sat down in one of the chairs and her blonde curls fell over her slender shoulder. She looked just as lost as her father, she was sure, and her heart ached. The company, their lumber company, was going to be sold. The company that her great grandparents ...
