    • Quotes
      Being the son of a filmmaker, you are aware of a career as a director. You don't think of it as just movies, but as a life. I couldn't help but wonder how my life was going to go ... One film does not make a career.
    • Trademarks
        Comedy films touching on serious subjects (Media spin and the dangers of cigarettes in Cảm Ơn Vì Hút Thuốc (2005), teen pregnancy in Dính Bầu (2007), economic downturn in Bay Lên Trời Cao (2009)).
