One of the best things about acting is you get to work with great people and what a privilege it was to work amongst this fabulous peeps. There many great talents in this show, in front and behind the camera, who I think will go really far. I can’t wait to see what kind of success the future has installed for them.

Besides getting a title under my belt, I learnt new things, great memories are created and new relationships are forged, some I hope will be a long ever lasting one.

Due to the dense schedule and not having my phone on me for the part, I only managed to get a few shots in. Looking back at these photos, it only felt like yesterday.

Without them, Blue Season wouldn’t have happened and without them, I wouldn’t got through the crazy schedule. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Team Blue Season! Big love! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

From Vietnam to London — Blue Season keeps moving!

A little throwback to our Vietnam preview screening, where we had the chance to share the first two episodes with an incredible audience of cast, crew, industry friends and supporters.

We were also honoured to have British Consul-General Alexandra Smith @ukinvietnam join us for the screening and support the project; a lovely moment that reflects the connection between the UK and Vietnam at the heart of Blue Season. 🇬🇧🇻🇳

The response, the conversations, and the energy in the room meant so much to all of us.

And now… we’re bringing it home to London.

The UK screening is tomorrow. 🎬
See you there! 🩵

“The show is called Blue Season, and the colour blue was used strategically. One of the characters appears to have a complex past life, so he was always dressed in cooler tones such as a blue shirt. All the murderous and violent aspects of the story had a cooler tone to suggest a hint of sadness and doom.”

Mari Yamamura explains how she ensured lighting and scenes were consistent throughout all six episodes of Blue Season, and that the programme had an interesting visual arc to aid the narrative.
