From most recently consulting on Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods, Producer and poet Jenni Trang Le! Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Jenni has always been a storyteller, and after discovering film during university, went on to work on a number of US-based independent projects. In 2009 she made the move to Saigon official. 11 years later and a number of productions later, Jenni is a seasoned veteran of the Vietnamese film industry who spoke to us about why the decision to move was so easy, the challenges of censorship and her role serving as a bridge between Vietnamese and US cinema.
