Spencer is heading up the team that is collaboratively writing a script for a feature film (Tru Cambodian - working title) that takes place across one summer in the Tenderloin. This project provides professional development opportunities for the entire Lab, including Spencer - whose feature work has largely hibernated in the years since we expanded VYDC's workshop program. The script is based entirely on stories coming out of our workshops and out of the neighborhood. Drafts have already led us to meetings with prospective co-producers, although in the end, we may decide to option it (Justin Lin's company Trailing Johnson Productions has the right of first refusal) - or produce it ourselves.
