BBC News' @raziaiqbal asked me to explain the ongoing Huy Fong Foods Sriracha shortage, caused by poor jalapeño crop yields and drought in Mexico. Below is a short audio clip from @BBCNews, with footage from @SrirachaMovie.

There is no "correct" white balance—depends how *you* want your shot to feel. A quick moment from my @FilmShowcase workshops at @bustoptv in Harare and @citezw in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

I received an incredible invitation from the American @FilmShowcase and @USEmbZim—to meet literally hundreds of talented filmmakers, journalists, artists, students, and film industry insiders during my six days in Zimbabwe’s two most populous cities: Harare and Bulawayo.

David Tran—the compelling hot sauce maker I profiled for @SrirachaMovie—is now worth $1B. @giacomotognini packs such an incredible amount of research and detail into a pretty quick read! (So much stuff I didn't capture with the 2013 film.).
David Tran arrived in the U.S. as a refugee from Vietnam in 1979. In Feb. 1980, he incorporated @huyfongfoods, making Sriracha with the now-iconic rooster logo. Now @Forbes estimates Huy Fong is worth $1B, making Tran America's first hot sauce billionaire.
