more about Joseph Vincent

Joseph Vincent is one of the new up and coming acoustic artists striving to make a name for himself in the world of music. Growing up Joseph had an open ear for music, listening to all types of genres from hip-hop to rock. He never really realized he could sing,besides in the shower, until he turned 15 when picked up his first acoustic guitar playing covers like Maroon 5’s “Sunday Morning” and Dashboard’s “Vindicated”. Joseph’s musical influences are Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat, and Jason Mraz to name a few. Jack Johnson’s inspiration of simplicity encouraged Joseph’s desire to start writing his own music. One year later after picking up that acoustic guitar, knowing only a couple of chords, he wrote his first 2 songs, “On My mind” and “Here for You”. Ever since then he’s been writing many songs and performing where ever and whenever he can. He has played at well known LA venues, smaller relaxing venues, and your usual coffee shops. You better look out for this guy because one day you’ll hear Joseph Vincent’s rhythmic tunes playing on the radio.

When Five Fell by Wong Fu Productions

About a year ago, Wong Fu Productions released the trailer for “When Five Fell”. channelAPA.com recently got an update from Wong Fu that this short would be released soon. The wait is now over. Here’s more about “When Five Fell”:

Five household objects express their feelings toward their owner when she begins to neglect them for someone else. “When Five Fell” is a new take on the ideal boy-meets-girl love story. Although the short is told from a unique and unconventional perspective, the emotions described should be familiar to anyone that’s fallen in or out of a relationship. “When Five Fell” is a prologue to “At Musing’s End

The five objects represent each of the five senses and played by five different people:
Glasses – Sight – David Choi
Telephone – Sound – Bobby Choy aka Big Phony (KTown Cowboys)
Umbrella – Touch – AJ Rafael
Scarf – Smell – Paul Dateh
Mug – Taste – Chris Dinh (“Up in da Club” and “Poser!”)

These objects and senses also represent stages in a relationship too. There are many layers to this short, which are cleverly put together. We had to watch it a few times to really appreciate the short. You can read more thoughts by the director, Wesley Chan here.
