Byron's the director of the feature films Bang Bang, Raskal Love, and Las Vegas Story. He joins us from Germany and shares some of his life experiences and spiritual thoughts.

Formative years living in many cities and locales including a four year stint in China living with various relatives.

Asian gangs were an early focus of Byron's due to his interest in seeing a different facet of Asian life represented in media and the camaraderie of gangsters reflect his own friendships growing up.

Meditation has led to more self reflection by Byron. He's embraced meditation as a way of living and seeing life.
