Senior Project was her first professional video. Using a home studio and many friends as actors, Nguyen produced the entire video herself, including computer animation, music and graphics. Rendering the computer imagery was a chore. I slept in front of the computer many nights, Nguyen said. To launch her new career, Nguyen started two companies.
Productions offers Christian products.
Last year, Nguyen sold her Lynnwood computer store to focus on the new businesses. Nguyen s teenage experiences motivate her, she said. Nguyen s escape from Vietnam defined fear for her, and gave her courage in other arenas. I am not afraid to work hard, Nguyen said. For 12 years after Nguyen s escape, her father remained with his church.
