Van Ditthavong is a director, a teacher, a producer, a business man, and just about any other title you can think of for someone who is all about their business. Born in Laos and raised in the US, Van has built an impressive resume even before releasing All Roads to Pearla, his first narrative feature film and I see nothing but success in his future. The New Directions In Film podcast series features interviews with directors about their latest projects and also about how both the pandemic and the recent protests have changed what it means to make movies.
