      Partnered with Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker who agreed to develop and produce his first feature-film project, Nhà Ga Fruitvale (2013).
    • Quotes
      [re making Nhà Ga Fruitvale (2013)] We shot here [BART station] for three nights after the station was closed, Everybody was there with us: BART employees, safety monitors, train drivers, all the cast members and crew. Some of us would pray; others would just keep to themselves. The energy of it hit everybody. It was the hardest thing I've done in my life, making this movie. Having to see [real-life hero] Oscar die so many times. And having to see the people react to it. That never gets easy, man. Never.
