The brief biography of MYAT NOE, the director of A Story Long Ago:

Born and raise in Myanmar (a.k.a Burma), and having grown up within the literary cycle of that country, Myat Noe was no stranger to the world of story-telling and creativity. At the age of 15, after watching Shindler’s List, The Piano, and In the Name of the Father back to back despite understanding very little English, he realized what he wants to do when he grows up.

That dream never leaves him even after his family migrated to the United States and settled in Los Angeles at the age of fifteen. He studied The Film and Electronic Arts at the California State University, Long Beach and graduated in 2004 with the Dean’s Honor. After various paid and unpaid internship stints, he went back to his own country in 2005 to basically “search his soul.” Then, he took a job as a sub-editor for the poetry and translation division in a friend’s showbiz magazine. After several months, he was able to make friends with the people in Myanmar film industry, many of whom would become participants in A Story Long Ago.

2010 U.S. CENSUS: CENSUS DAY

Two weeks ago, you should have received the 2010 Census questionnaire form. It was sent your address to conduct the most accurate census possible.

We need your help to count everyone in the Burmese community in the United States by providing basic information about all the people living in your house or apartment.

Your answers are important to the future of the Burmese-American community in the U.S. Results from the 2010 Census will be used to help each community get its fair share of government funds for highways, schools, health facilities, community centers, many other programs you and your communities need. Without a complete, accurate census, our Burmese-American community may not receive its fair share.
