while hearing a man play his flute in a Shanghai park. The random whistling had no melody, yet he still played with a joyful spirit. This paradox prompted me to record what I heard and ever since I’ve had a growing curiosity about musicians like this man. Now I’ve returned to find out what they can teach me about Shanghai.

me to leave. Have you ever passed one of those towns that doesn’t seem to have much going on? That’s what I thought Lubu was until I made this stop and experienced it for myself. Lubu (禄步) is a town in Guangdong, China next to the Xijiang River. I came to check out their farmers market but soon found much more. After filming the waterfront and inside the restaurant where I ate lunch I experienced the magic of a small town basketball game where it seemed the whole town came out to cheer on the home team. As someone from a small town myself I couldn’t help but recognize the curious vibe of the locals. SUPPORT These videos take time, effort, love and… money.

at the #farmersmarket. But biking through a village in China I saw a vegetable I hadn’t seen before. Using my poor Chinese I summoned the guts to ask the people picking it a simple question, “What is this?” This led me on a journey to a mega Shenzhen farmers market to buy, film (in macro) and eventually eat these unique Chinese vegetables.

in the park I was reminded of all the sounds I neglect in my daily life. This inspired me to pull out my microphone and camera to pay attention to the sounds I usually ignore.

Tournament Meeting people no matter where you live isn’t easy but when you don’t speak the language it gets event harder. While visiting a women’s soccer tournament in China I was surprised to see how a tough competition between teams from all over China cultivated friendships. Are sports the key to breaking the language barrier? Watch as I conduct a social experiment using an ancient Chinese sport to find the answer.
