Supporting the community and promoting our AAPI culture through our videography and photography. photo, video, thumbnail, etc.

We are brothers and content creators born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our goal is to support the community and promote our AAPI culture through our videography and photography. In addition to documenting community events, we are now documenting private event celebrations such as grand openings, birthdays, retirements, graduation parties, corporate/business events, etc. Disclaimer: Yo

Follow our new Instagram page dedicated to lion dance, dragon dance and martial arts! https://www.instagram.com/giantsrocdaworld

Our interest in these cultural arts began at a very young age thanks to our grandparents, father and uncle. Our family members even called us “the lion dance boys” as we performed for family events (sounds better in Taishan 🙂). Later, we formally joined martial arts schools, becoming members of the same schools that we enjoyed watching and performing for more special family celebrations

🌟 Our goal is to continue to support the community and promote our AAPI culture, and honor past generations and inspire future generations ~ and one way is showcasing these cultural arts!

Still in awe of the amazing time we had at the 50th Annual Nihonmachi Street Fair. From the many cultural performances, live entertainment, food vendors, arts and crafts, there was so much to do. Also a thank you to the staff and volunteers who worked hard to make the event what it is. Till next year!

"Don't think. FEEEEEEEEL! It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory!" - Bruce Lee

Happy Birthday to the Legend. Bruce Lee would’ve been 83 years old today.

An eventful night in Chinatown! The streets came alive with lion dance, delicious bites, and the spirit of community. A prelude to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, thousands were in attendance to support the local Chinatown businesses, witness cupcake artistry by AA Bakery, and dance with lions and dragons.

Hoping there can be more night markets throughout the city!
