Youth DVDs

Sites that host Moving Lives speakers will receive two DVDs which include Spencer Nakasako's Trilogy and Tenderloin Stories: Youth-Produced Videos 1989-2004.

Spencer Nakasako's Trilogy features three documentaries for, by and about Southeast Asian youth: "a.k.a. Don Bonus," "Kelly loves Tony" and "Refugee."
Produced by Aram Siu, Wai Collier & Emunah Yuka Edinburgh in collaboration with VYDC Youth DVD Crew. Associate Producers: Mike Siv and Spencer Nakasako. Executive Producer: Spencer Nakasako (2005).

Tenderloin Stories: Youth-Produced Videos 1989-2004 presents 16 videos from the VYDC Digital Media Lab. Located in the heart of San Francisco, the Tenderloin District is home to 12,000 refugees and immigrants from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. In 1989, VYDC (Vietnamese Youth Development Center) developed the VYDC Digital Media Lab, headed by Spencer Nakasako, one of the country's most highly regarded independent filmmakers. Special features include interviews with former youth media artists and a how-to video based on Nakasako's workshops.
