7 non-blondes

All the USC students that have come with me to China have one thing in common – we’re all second generation Americans or have ties to countries other than the US. We are not only representing the US to our hosts but also Libya, Turkey, India, Mexico, and Japan. I can’t think of a better way to represent the US in China, especially in the context of multicultural exchange. I feel like we are setting a good example of working through cultural differences though the diversity within our own group. I also feel that the potential conflict that might come out of our collaborations are the same sort of conflict that would arise anyway out of strong minded artists working together. So far everyone seems to be getting along. There seem to be some minor misunderstandings about style but all that’s to be expected. We start shooting this week… let the adventures begin.
