Biography: 

Perhaps no one understands the power of the visual language of film better than Daron. As a six year old surviving the hunger and squalor of a refugee camp in Cambodia, Daron’s only escape came from American motion pictures projected onto a simple white sheet by aid workers. Fortunate enough to migrate to the U.S., Daron never forgot these indelible images and has since devoted himself to the pursuit of understanding working in this “magic” medium.

In 2002, Daron earned a BFA degree in Motion Picture and Television from the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. He went on to carve out a name for himself in the Bay Area’s independent film scene as both a respected director and cinematographer.

Daron is currently producing and directing a film that’s very close to his heart entitled RICE FIELD OF DREAMS. His next two feature film subjects include a legendary rock band entitled NOBODY: THE DOOBIE BROTHERS and a latin music movement entitled REVOLUCION PARA LA PAZ / REVOLUTION FOR PEACE.

As well, next year Daron hopes to film his feature length script HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA. Academy Award winning cinematographer Hiro Narita, I RIDE editor Robin Lee, and Skywalker Ranch supervising sound editor Teresa Eckton are all enthusiastic members of the HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA team.

Earlier this year Daron completed producing and directing I RIDE, a film about The Fryed Brothers Band and the underground Biker Culture. I RIDE is getting rave reviews, and Daron is looking into finding greater distribution for this film, both online and in theatres.

Daron’s ultimate goal is to one day share his beautiful Cambodian culture with the rest of the world through the magic of film.
