Bao Nguyen Sits in Banksy’s Seat at the Oscars [Rehearsal]
Vietnamese-American photographer and filmmaker, Bao Nguyen, attended the recent 2011 Oscars and actually sat in Banksy's assigned seat during the rehearsals! Bao may have been the only person who sat in that seat, as the elusive artist was, not surprisingly, a no-show. During his real time Facebook updates from the show, Bao shares the irony of the seat location’s proximity to the exit referencing Bansky’s Oscar-nominated film, “Exit Through the Gift Shop.”
Bao was at the Oscars filming a documentary about PS22 Chorus, the student choir from Staten Island, NY that became a YouTube sensation and performed during this year’s Oscars’ closing ceremonies. They have performed for Beyonce and Lady Gaga and Oprah’s such a fan that she had them perform with Katy Perry at her After-Oscars Party.
Recently, Bao shot this beautiful film in Hanoi, Vietnam about o-mai candy for Etsy’s original video series. The close-ups and tight shots capture the sentimental mood of a long-time family tradition at risk of losing its way to a quickly changing world focused on modern development. This intimate glimpse into this multi-generational family sweet shop will make your heart melt and leave your mouth watering for these ginger apricot candies.

Keep an eye on this talent! Bao Nguyen might very well find himself sitting in another Oscar-nominated seat NOT assigned to Banksy!
