NICK NEON

My award winning short film #UltraBleu is finally available to watch online! 🍦link in bio🍦 You spend two years producing 20 minutes of content that most people will stop watching after 30 seconds. You pick up broken pieces of yourself and reconstruct them into a film and just hope that someone else will relate to it. It's the risk we take when we bare ourselves to an unforgiving public. But sometimes the pain to stay hidden becomes greater than the pain to be heard. And we decide to take flight. #UltraBleu has been the defining moment of my adult life. I don't have more to say except that I hope you watch the film and walk away from it with new perspective. And remember, we won't always be 20something + lost. PS - If you have a good time, please don't forget to like #UltraBleu on FB and I hope you'll share the film on my behalf 💙 #UltraBleu #DigitalPremiere #NickNeon #LGBT #gaymovie #shortfilm #filmmaker #writer #director #actor #lovehurts #loveheals #comingofage #Seoul

#UltraBleu won the Audience Choice Award @ #SENEFEST!!! 🙌🙋🍦🙋🎥🙌👑🙌🎥🙋😀 I can't believe that our film is entering festivals, that we've just premiered, that we've received glowing review and that we've now won an award. The Truth: You spend years, if not your entire life, trying so hard NOT to do what you love because you fear it will fail.  But be brave.  The world needs it.  Be brave.  And then work hard. I'm so glad my broken-heart refused to mend.  And I'm even more glad I had the courage to turn it into art.   #awardwinning #comingofage #lgbt #shortfilm #queercinema #nextup #Seoul #KoreanQueerFilmFestival And shoutout to another film that also won the Audience Award #PhotoOp by @daasolomon 🙋🎥🍦 (at New York, New York)

Left my heart in Oklahoma. I can't begin to express all of the joy + gratitude I feel for all of the adventures I had last week. A reminder that there is nothing in this world worth more than blue open skies + good people. (at Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge)

#2015 was a very difficult year for me. I spent most of it developing my voice + finding courage. Planting seeds + mourning ghosts. Healing. I finally stepped back into my skin as an actor + I finally directed a film again. I moved back to #NYC after 7 years in #Korea. And now I've made a very big commitment to #UltraBleu for the next two years. This includes the short film currently in post, the feature film version we're shooting in 2016 + the indie road tour across America in 2017. I was lost somewhere in the wilderness. I had to find my way back. I had to fight my way back. We won't always be 20something + lost. XII (at Queens Blvd, Sunnyside)

We all start somewhere. XII
