“The Đàn Bầu is more than just a musical instrument”
My journey with the Đàn Bầu began completely by chance. After being captivated by its distinctive and expressive sound at a performance, I became curious about the instrument. Coincidentally, I had the opportunity to meet a Đàn Bầu teacher who encouraged me to take my first lessons. What began as a moment of curiosity gradually became a journey that has lasted nearly three years. Through countless hours of practice and opportunities to perform, I have grown not only as a musician but also in my appreciation for Vietnamese traditional culture.
To me, the Đàn Bầu is more than just a musical instrument. It carries the soul and cultural identity of Vietnam. That is why playing it is not simply about making music; it is also my way of sharing Vietnamese culture, preserving our heritage, and keeping a unique part of our identity alive. What started as an unexpected encounter has therefore become something deeply meaningful to me.
” Filmmaking is a way to turn ideas and emotions into storiesinstrument”
My passion for filmmaking began in elementary school, when I first became fascinated by the power of films to tell stories and capture emotions. As I grew older, this passion led me to explore cinematography and photography, learning how composition, lighting, and camera movement shape a story.
Since then, I have worked on several film projects, taking on different roles both behind and in front of the camera. Most recently, I created a short film inspired by The Little Match Girl, reimagining the classic story through my own visual perspective.
For me, filmmaking is a way to turn ideas and emotions into stories that people can see and feel.
