Framing 20 Years in NY with Anh Vu

What’s your favorite borough or neighborhood in NYC? Why?

Brooklyn will always have my heart—it’s where you make the kind of memories that stick with you forever. But lately, I’ve been hanging out more in NoMad and FiDi, and I’ve gotta say, they’re super photogenic neighborhoods that are packed with cool vibes and interesting people.

What’s your go-to bodega order? 

Sorry to disappoint, but I’m not really a bodega person—they usually don’t have the Asian treats I crave. However, I highly recommend checking out Ten Ichi Mart in Williamsburg. They’ve got an amazing selection of some of my favorite Asian snacks!

Is there a project you've directed that stands out as meaningful to you?

I would have to say my favorite project to direct was Buchanan’s ‘Choose Great’ spot. Throughout the creative process, there was so much trust and love on this project from Chris Hemsworth, our clients and agency. I ended up learning so much from that experience and it really helped shape my career. 

What sets Framestore Pictures apart and makes us a trusted creative partner?

Working with Framestore Pictures means collaborating with some of the most exceptional talents in the industry. Not only do you have access to an outstanding live-action team and a powerhouse roster of directors, but you also get to partner with the world-class VFX artists at Framestore. It’s truly an unparalleled experience.

What NYC tourist activity have you yet to do?

That’s a tough question… I thought I’ve done it all but there’s always more to do in New York! I would still love to do the NYC Gangsters and Ghost Tour. It's always sounded intriguing to me.
