Post Banff Catch up

Posted on by 100 Dragons

I remember my fist time at the Banff Media Festival in 2009. It was an honour to be selected for a program to attend for my first time. At this past edition, 2025, I was selected for two opportunities, and while I wanted to wear all three lanyards that announced my chosen status, I had to elect one and I decided on the special blue lanyard that announced I was part of the Banff Spark Producers Edition, sponsored by Paramount+.

This kind of curated experience meant that I could see my fellow cohort members and wave with a smile. We were 25 producers that knew what it took for us to attend this hustle and bustle of a conference in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Surrounded by crisp, mountain air. It was easy to suggest meetings on the verandah outside kissed by the sun.

The Banff Spark and the Diversity of Voices experience means that we are surrounded by a like-minded cohort. We see each other and gravitated towards a shared experience. In this business, it’s so easy to be alone that having smiling faces to wave to as you run from one meeting to another is a must.

Anyone who wants to ask me about these two programs, feel free to reach out. When the applications come around again, I’m happy to discuss what it means to be sponsored by both. Do they help? I have to say a resounding yes, having been supported multiple times to attend. It’s a camaraderie that is beyond priceless.

More pictures to come!

My Piece of the City – feature doc

Posted on by 100 Dragons

For the last year I had the honour and pleasure to produce Moze Mossanen’s latest feature documentary My Piece of the City.  For weeks Moze followed the process of the musical endeavor The Journey.  He tirelessly watched the performance camp as aspiring young members of the Regent Park community demonstrated their abilities.  And as we went into production with the schedule of rehearsals for The Journey meandering over two and half months, pinpointing the 9 days of shoot were challenging at best.  But I think we were able to capture all of the wonderful moments that these young performers faced as they put together this reflection of a community in transition. The excitement, the hope, the fears and the internal and external conflicts that these youth face during rehearsals, in their lives and in their surroundings are all relevant to revitalization projects in the inner city around the world.  With the generous support of Daniels and Innocon, we are excited to be submitting this film to festivals and hope to be announcing some acceptances soon.  Look for further announcements in the future!

Re-branding – 100 Dragons

Posted on by 100 Dragons

After 20 years in existence, I’m pleased to present the re-branding of 100 Dragons.  My company had been a numbered company for years.  And was eventually named to translate my son’s Chinese name – Baht Luong – 100 Dragons (Productions). Two years ago I formed another company to focus on the creation of passion projects that gives voice to the under-represented which became 100 Dragons Media.  With all that in mind, I wanted to take the branding process seriously.  Reaching out to good friend, Emily Weedon, we came up with the design you see here.  I present the new logo … 100 Dragons
