The Second Most Famous Shirtless Asian Man in Cinema History

Check out this fun clip from the documentary Beam Me Up, Sulu, in which I declare that George Takei as Sulu in the Star Trek original series episode "The Naked Time" is the Second Most Famous Shirtless Asian Man in Cinema History. The movie is now available digitally for rent/purchase.




On Healing Land, Birds Perch

Behind one of the Vietnam War's most iconic Pulitzer Prize–winning photographs lies a story resonant with today’s global crises. Woven through voices of survivors, Naja Lockwood's documentary short On Healing Land, Birds Perch meditates on memory, loss, and renewal confronting the enduring scars of war and the resilience of refugees rebuilding their lives.




Chinese American restaurants question why Chinese cuisine can’t get the chef’s table treatment

In an industry where diners rarely question high prices of French haute cuisine or Japanese omakase, Chinese restaurateurs often contend with resistance in getting customers to pay fine-dining tabs. But upscale Chinese American restaurants are redefining perceptions of Chinese cuisine and insist their food, labor and cooking techniques are just as worthy.

Beam Me Up, Sulu: Where No Fan Had Gone Before

Feature documentary available February 17.


In 1985, Star Trek's George Takei joined a group of dedicated fans to make a student film deep in the California forest -- only for the footage to mysteriously vanish. Nearly 40 years later, the documentary Beam Me Up, Sulu, directed by Timour Gregory and Sasha Schneider, unearths this lost film, revealing not just a piece of fan history but a broader story of representation, resilience, and the ongoing fight for inclusion in media and society.

Just how the heck did this guy, Stan Woo, get George Takei to be in his goofy Star Trek fan film? The documentary is a fun and moving exploration of fandom, dedication and diversity. I had the pleasure of being interviewed for the film, and as a Star Trek fan, I'm delighted to be part of this project.
