Austin Nguyen
My name is Austin Nguyen and I am a filmmaker from Dallas, Texas. I started back in 2018 while I was solo traveling across the US with my iPhone. Originally, I wanted to record my adventures in hopes of inspiring others to give solo traveling a try too. Every video I would edit, I found myself wanting to improve every aspect of it, from how it is shot to the way the story is told. Next thing I know I found myself finally buying an actual camera. Ever since I bought my first camera, I was invited to film EDM concerts, weddings, and plenty of other gigs I would never expect to have an opportunity to do. Seeking Home is my first short film and I hope to create more films like this soon.
