Actor Bio
|
Carl was born in Hong Kong and raised in Connecticut, and ever since his childhood, he has been pursuing the mediums of entertainment. He graduated the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts high school as a dance major, and was a member of the "Oddfellows Playhouse," performance group "Fiesta!." and cofounder/choreographer of the group "Power Surge." He has a BFA in Acting from the University of Connecticut, where he studied Stanislavski, Absurdism, Contemporary Classics, Greeks, Shakespeare and trained in the Suzuki Technique under Eric Hill. He moved to NYC around 2004 and furthered his acting training through the Eric Morris System at the Bova Actor's Workshop, NYC. He has since worked on various film, television, stage, and dance productions, and he continues to explore various mediums of self-expression. He is an active member of the David Shen Dance Group, having aided in the formation of its current iteration in 2010.
Carl first became involved with the Asian American Film Lab (AAFilmLab) around 2005 and eventually joined the Management Team in 2007 as part of the Outreach Committee. Around 2010, he also took on the title of Web Content/Social Media Manager, for his work with increasing the presence and influence of the organization. He became the president in 2010, and has spearheaded a fresh chapter of AAFilmLab, bringing new members to the current membership, while also reconnecting ties to past members. Under his leadership, the AAFilmLab Management has worked to bring about a number of changes for the organization, with an emphasis on a re-envisioned mission statement. Some of these changes include the development of the successful Unfinished Works and Industry Spotlight programs, as well as a focus on furthering the presence of the organization in the filmmaking community. Carl is proud of having recruited the current Management Team, and together they work to ensure that the organization continues its successful progress.
