Tony Bùi
Tony Bùi was born in Saigon on 14 September 1973 and left the country with his family a week before the fall of the city, at the age of two. He grew up in Sunnyvale, California, where his father ran a cassette shop, and it was from there that his career came. He studied at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, returned several times to his parents' country and shot a short film there, Yellow Lotus, which was shown at Sundance. He writes with his brother Timothy Linh Bùi, has received the Humanitas Prize and came out of the Sundance Institute's workshops.
