Dustin Nguyen Unplugged II

Thanks to actor, director, producer Dustin Nguyen and a spirited group of creatives, our first session was informative, casual and fun. We hope to have video up next week.

Thanks also to Sandrine, Bertrand and Mads for the photos and TBWA for the space :) More photos for download here.

We learned how not to make an "Instant noodle soup movie", just how tough the Vietnamese censors are as compared to Singapore and China, and just how many seconds your product can be on screen if you paid for product placement in a love scene - interesting stuff. More to follow.

And not one single person asked one single question about Johnny Depp.

Good Creative Mornings to you all.

Dustin Nguyen Unplugged?

What if we don't show video of his past work? What if you don't see his 21 Jump Street co-star Johnny Depp on film? What if we don't even have a microphone? Will you care? I hope not. Saigon/CreativeMornings is not about PowerPoint shows or corporate meeting stuff. We hope it's about real. Dustin will discuss the balance between art and commerce. For all those who signed up and will join us on Friday morning, thank you. Let's talk. Let's chat. Let's learn. Let's have fun. Good CreativeMornings to you. You made it happen.
