VIBOL S. SUNGKRIEM
My name is Vibol S. Sungkriem. I was born in Battambang, Cambodia. My family fled the country during the Civil War. We arrived in the United States in November 1983 and settled in the Bronx, New York. A few months later I started school at P.S 94 in the Bronx.
In 1986 I started a new school at Junior High School 80, a school known for its nuisance.
As much as I've tried to avoid trouble, I ended up getting myself suspended for a week from fighting. I can't afford another suspension. I had a dream. My dream was to become a filmmaker.
When I was young I love going to the theater. I was fascinated with the gunfight and cinematography of American movies. After years sitting in the movie theater it has convinced me to become a filmmaker.
In 1991 I started my first year at Theodore Roosevelt High School. The school was also known for its trouble. I got into so many fights I could almost predict the next fight, usually, either the beginning or at the end of the year. During those days gang was the trend either you are a gangster or a school boy. As for me, I was living in both worlds. Racism also played a major role in contributing to the chaos. It was hard being a teenager, but somehow I knew I had to graduate.
1994 was the year that broadened my horizon. I started college at the City College of New York University. I was majoring in Communications Film and Video as it was known then. While in school I decided to purchase a camera, few lights and non-liner editing system to get myself started. I started out by volunteering on such activity as filming students protesting at the campus and students and facilities meetings.
During the DVD revolution something extraordinary happened to me. I registered for DVD authorizes class at a Film School. By share luck I was asked to be in a music video class. I worked on a music video called Pump Your Back with other students. I was one of the directors that worked on the video.
After the music video I was asked to be a boom operator for a short film called
Dante's Girls, directed, produced and written a shot film called Deja Vu, directed
a half an hour film called One O'clock, AFI NYC Sales Video Assistant Director
and aerial Camera Unit Assistant for MRG International. I also wrote several
screenplays. My experiences ranged from Pro Tools, Lighting, Sound Recordings
and Editing.
In summary, whether I'm in Elementary, Junior High, High School or College, I knew what I wanted to become. Even though I went through a lot of hardship during my youth, I managed to pull myself together. I realized a dream is a powerful tool that one can own. It doesn't matter what kind of troubles you encounter, dreams will keep you from falling through the cracks. Nothing is impossible if the desire to have surpassed the desire
to quit.
