The brief biography of MYAT NOE, the director of A Story Long Ago: |

Born and raise in Myanmar (a.k.a Burma), and having grown up within the literary cycle of that country, Myat Noe was no stranger to the world of story-telling and creativity. At the age of 15, after watching Shindler’s List, The Piano, and In the Name of the Father back to back despite understanding very little English, he realized what he wants to do when he grows up.
That dream never leaves him even after his family migrated to the United States and settled in Los Angeles at the age of fifteen. He studied The Film and Electronic Arts at the California State University, Long Beach and graduated in 2004 with the Dean’s Honor. After various paid and unpaid internship stints, he went back to his own country in 2005 to basically “search his soul.” Then, he took a job as a sub-editor for the poetry and translation division in a friend’s showbiz magazine. After several months, he was able to make friends with the people in Myanmar film industry, many of whom would become participants in A Story Long Ago.

Two weeks ago, you should have received the 2010 Census questionnaire form. It was sent your address to conduct the most accurate census possible.
We need your help to count everyone in the Burmese community in the Untied States by providing basic information about all the people living in your house or apartment.
Your answers are important to the future of the Burmese-American community in the U.S. Results from the 2010 Census will be used to help each community get its fair share of government funds for highways, schools, health facilities, community centers, many other programs you and your communities need. Without a complete, accurate census, our Burmese-American community may not receive its fair share.
This year's questionnaire is one of the shortest in history, but the results of the survey have long-term effects. Haven't sent yours in yet? Lost your form? Here's what you need to know:

A Call to Action for Every Burmese in the U.S.: “Be Counted.”
The U.S. government counts the population every 10 years and uses Census data to allocate federal funds. Census data also guides local decision makers in important community planning efforts, including where to build new roads, hospitals, and schools.
Your Census questionnaire should arrive in the mail during the period of March 15-17, 2010. Be sure to take a few minutes to complete the 10-question Census questionnaire and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
Census Facts:
♦ The U.S. Constitution requires the federal government to count the population every 10 years.
♦ Responses to the 2010 Census questionnaire are required by law.
♦ All responses are used for statistical purpose only, and all are strictly confidential.
♦ Everyone residing in the United States – in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands – is included in the 2010 Census.
