The “Hluav Taws” music video released on April 17th, 2017. I will always remember the beauty of my 14-member cast & crew, mostly strangers at the time. We laughed, messed up, and cried — all in a day’s work. There was so much heart on the set. To this day, we’re still connected. Thank you to my cast & crew and to you for watching all these years!
