Bryan Vue

I want to hear more voices and see more faces out there other than what we see in Hollywood. I want especially Hmong stories because I feel like there aren't enough out there.  It doesn't all have to be about the war. It doesn't all have to be about learning who we are, but it could just be the simple things of what we do, what we eat, what we think about. Bryan Vue was born in Boulong, Laos and raised in Eau Claire, Wisc. He made his first short film at age 14, a fan of Bruce Lee films, he said the martial arts legend inspired him as the only Asian movie star of his childhood that he saw.  He received his BA in Psychology from the University of WI-Madison and his Master’s of Social Work from the University of Minnesota. He went on to work for the Wilder Foundation as a caseworker and counselor for years and not works as a social worker for Ramsey County.  The film bug never left him, however, and Vue went on to learn professional level filmmaking at IFP MN and perfected his art with family documentaries, short films and industrial projects. He founded Bird’s-Eye Vue Films in 2007.
