Josh is launching a new food and travel vlog brand called... onlychopstix

onlychopstix brings together two key interests for Josh in food and travel, and eating everything with chopsticks... I mean everything. From eating burgers and pizza with pov mukbang style "onlychopstix" to exploring the world with a pov vlog style "onlychopstixworld".

Have you ever hiked to the top of a mountain and ate some pastries with chopstix or slurped Italian pasta in a beach side town with chopstix while locals looked on in confusion? Well I did!

We're back in 2025 with our first episode of the year with Vancouver based actress and model, Jade Pattenden!

Jade stars in her first lead role as main characters "Nadia", an aspiring actress taking auditions and looking for her break, and the titular "Lola Dust", a deepfake online avatar that stole Nadia's likeness for nefarious purposes. Jade shared with us her experience starring in her first lead role and the artistic challenge of embodying two vastly different characters, and the greater responsibility of being the top billed actor on the production. We also dive into acting techniques, thematic discussions about Artificial Intelligence and DeepFake technology impacting the industry and society as whole.

"Lola Dust" is aiming for a release in 2025 so keep an eye out for it!

This week, we have Vancouver indie film and music video director and producer, Logan Charron, joining us to share his experience in the Vancouver independent film community. Under his Dark River Studios, Logan has directed and produced many music videos and short films on YouTube and film competitions like Vancouver's Run N Gun 48-Hour Film Competition.

His latest project, "Surface of Blood" is a short film about crime, commitment, and danger told through the ludicrous perspectives of in-competent people. Our very own Lucas John Ng acted in the short film as the mysterious figure, Hugo. "Surface of Blood" premiered at Vancouver's Rio Theatre on July 9th and both Logan and Lucas were there!

Our first guest of Series 4 is a Lebanese - Canadian rapper from Toronto called Rio D. Our co-host, Josh Yang, met Rio D at digital nomad events while living in Buenos Aires in November, 2023, and quickly connected on a shared interest in creative pursuits and the entertainment industry. Rio D was in Buenos Aires recording with local producers on new music which led to singles like "No Queens on King", and shot a music video for "Will" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqXfdld3WrQ).

In our episode, we asked Rio D his "making it" start and journey, and the urgency that comes with pursuing a rapping career later than many young rappers. His approach is to constantly drive and grind to create content and produce music with 8 unreleased singles ready to go and a consistent social media presence through his Freestyle Friday posts!

It's a new Series with new horizons and time for us to change the game and bring in some new energy. In this premiere episode, it's been 7 months since our Series 3 Finale episode and a whirlwind of activity for both co-hosts. Josh spent 3 months in South America in Argentina and Brazil and Lucas got married in Mexico (with Josh as reception co-host). We come back together after all these changes to announce some "making it" updates. New circumstances with new goals and adaptability is a vital part of any creative journey, and we're making some pivotal changes, while keeping things light. Get ready for a crazy Series 4!
