the trailer look's good. i like that its look so much like hollywood. i see you fufilling most (hmong) people dreams. by dream i mean the american dream which made all of our ancestor came here in the frist place. to be happy in what your doing following your dreams. keep up the good work.
I admire Kang's persistence on not trying to follow the norm and trying to elevate film making. Yall gotta remember that he usually has no budget and that his actors are not full time actors. His crew are all volunteers. I bet you if a big company gave him a big budget to shoot a movie, you'd be surprise at the outcome. It's hard to make a good movie without any money, but he's done a good job so far, let's hope a big producer recognizes his talent..
Thanks man. I really appreciate your words. We are students of the art, and are driven by our passion to create something that will benefit our community. Even if we make no money from this, we know that we followed our gut and did things our way. Most people take this sort of energy for granted. Thanks again for the support.
It's ok yangx273. It's unfair that we Hmong filmmakers are expected to make better films than Hollywood to be acknowledged. You don't see these kids like supermusicman going around on forums posting about other movies, and how they are copies of other movies. Nope. They come right back to their own people. We artists are the sacrificial lambs of our community. We try to do something positive for our people, but our our own brothers and sisters will be the first ones to try to bring us down.
@supermusicman I don't believe you really know what it means to "put some effort into it". Like so many people say, it's SOO simple to criticize something, but at least see it before you make all these assumptions. The trailer IS a bit misleading and could be better.
Ask anyone who knows something about Hmong people and film making. Kang is doing what no other Hmong film maker has done and that's push the envelope. I don't see people like you producing anything. Stay on the keyboards bro.
@yangx273 Sorry to say you don't push the envelope with copied movies. But if this is your definition of good enough. ...I guess there is a long way to go.
Looks like a great cast! I can't wait to see the movie, but i do have to agree with the comments below, the trailer does make it look like The Crow by Brandon Lee. I hope it's not. Great looking trailer, picture quality is nice.
I love the people that come on here afraid to see Hmong people experience success. Sadly enough it is another Hmong person 90% of the time. Sadly again none of these people will attempt to create anything, they just want to make sure no one does it if they can't.
Fallen City is similar to The Crow, but very different at the same time. Props to Kang! All you other guys can go back to pretending The Crow and Lord of the Rings is original in itself. Is James Cameron's Avatar "original"?
@yangx273 LOL. ...of course we wanna see hmong people do well but at the same time if you're going to do something don't copy a movie and make it look worst than the original. and yes not all movies are original but you are only naming the few that are not and there is thousands that are original. all I'm saying is if you're going to do something put some effort into it with your own ideas. Even those OG's Laos movies are done better and most of them are just made up script. just the truth!
NO WAY!!! Brandon Lee's character Eric Draven was a musician? Really? Wha?.. How could that happen? I thought that my movie was the ONLY movie ever made that had a musician as the main character! OH NO Supermusicman... what am I to do???
Supermusicman is right in 100%. I have seen THE CROW many times, because Brandon is Bruce Lee's son and I am a big fan of Bruce Lee. Brandon made only three movies in his life I believe. To my understanding of your point of view, your movie is for sure a copy of THE CROW or its' idea. Sorry brother.
this movie storyline is similar to "THE CROW" with brandon lee... even the MUSIC is similar. i'm not impressed.. come up with your own ideas please. if you're going to copy THE CROW, you should have a chicken in it and call it THE ROOSTER !
The sequeal to THE CROW is called CITY OF ANGELS.. gee what a coincidence to your title FALLEN CITY.
WOW! You are sooo smart! Putting together all those clues! Here is a doggie biscuit!
Do you think that The Crow is an original story? Hahahaha!!! You need to get out more. I mean, I LOOOOOVED the movie, and yes, it has influenced me as a filmmaker, however, this movie is quite different...
Also, why should it be called "The Rooster?" Why do you have to disrespect Hmong culture like that?
Hey, Kang, how r u, man? Love the cinematography work here. Check out my upcoming film also. It'll be release in November 2009 @ the HMong New Year! Keep up the great work! KIT.
the trailer looks like its going to be a good movie. something new.. different. but i'm confused, don't understand it. kind of hard to hear what some of the actors were saying.. but great job! keep it up :D
Whats up with the Motion Picture Association of America, Inc? It confused me. Is this Hmong movie has been approved by that organization and it will be showing in the big screen theater through out the US. I am completely lost in here. By the way, I am not sure if I understand the story and its point of view. But, good job!
Sloan, let's see if you can get your brother Sonny to star in opposite roles in the next film. I did not know that Bee Vang was your cousin. I guess the whole family, especially mom and dad are proud.

Or are you avoiding that for now?

I actually shot this movie in 24p, however it wasn't necessary. I would shoot it in 24 if I were to transfer it to film in the future.

Do you think that The Crow is original? It's a well known Native American story! Check out the movie, "The Raggedy Rawny."
Look here dude, there are NO original stories left. They are all remakes of stories that have been told. It is HOW the story is told that matters.
