Director Biography - Sommer Van Uyen N Nguyen

Sommer started out as an Event Planner, then during a scout for her space, she met a Location Scout. She realized that working in FILM/TV was more rewarding for the soul. For five years, Sommer worked as a Location Scout. Yet, she felt she could contribute more to cinema and making the industry more inclusive by producing her own projects and also in the Casting Department in the last three years. She collaborated with various talented people in her journey to learn and continue learning to make more compelling, diverse stories that open audiences to less stereotypical characters.
