Hey it's Phong
welcome to aaawooo
What is “aaawooo”?
You know how when wolves successfully hunt their prey, they let their pack know by howling? That’s the idea behind aaawooo. I wanted a space to share my findings on style, food, finances and life with you! My goal is for us to build a community or village (more on this later) where I can start the conversation and you, the collective Pack, can continue to elaborate and make those ideas even better!
My short qualifications:
Hi, I’m Phong. I am a 32 year old single gaysian living in Los Angeles, CA. What can be more fab, right? I work as an assistant production supervisor on commercials and music videos. Basically, I’m your producer’s assistant’s favorite assistant. I’ve worked with some of your favorite pop stars from A(riana) - Z(endaya).
My job requires me to solve problems in creative and unique ways. Think Devil Wears Prada but I actually like my job! I’m always up for a challenge, like getting Teyana Taylor’s favorite steakhouse to open early so she can have her lunch on set an hour away. Or that one time I found out I had to build a maze of pipe and drape so T. Swift can privately travel from her dressing room to set with less than 24 hour notice… on a weekend. BTW, how long do NDA’s last? I guess we’ll find out.
The “village”
What I have learned is that it truly takes a village to make a production happen. There is a science to it! Walking through a set you may find hair and make up, wardrobe, lighting, art department, and where all the magic happens, production. We hire the best of the best in the industry to leave little room for error. This is my idea for you, let’s cultivate your own village to make your Hollywood dreams come true, I am the producer and you are my star!
Become part of the pack
My goal is to report back every Wednesday. Please follow me on this journey and subscribe to my Substack to be up to date on my musings. Chat soon?
Hi there! Congrats on your Substack rollout!
