Chino Y Chicano
The Chino Y Chicano podcast began on December 22, 2022 with co-hosts Matt Chan (The Chino) and Enrique Cerna (The Chicano).
Chan and Cerna spent their careers making television. Chan was the creator of the cable television series Hoarders. Cerna was a Seattle broadcast journalist who somehow was never fired during his 43 year career. Their podcast mission was to dish on the good, bad and ugly that people of color face in America. They took up the complexities of race, and sought out people far more interesting than they could ever be.
On March 30, 2024, Matt Chan passed away after battling kidney cancer. Enrique Cerna made a commitment to continue the podcast in his honor.
The Chino Y Chicano podcast partners with Converge Media to present UNFILTERED, a no holds barred conversation featuring Cerna, former Seattle City Council member Deborah Juarez and Converge Media founder Omari Salisbury. Take a listen to all the episodes presented. The content might piss you off, but you might also learn something.

Bao Tran | Writer/Director
Mentored early on by master action director Corey Yuen, Bao was instilled with an approach to action that doesn’t rely solely on spectacle, but also draws on story and character. Screen Anarchy commended his written-and-directed short BOOKIE for its “flawlessly realized world populated by entirely fleshed out and believable characters, driven by a compelling narrative and brought to sumptuous life.” His editing credits include CHO LON, one of Southeast Asia’s highest-budgeted action blockbusters, and JACKPOT, a heartfelt comedy selected as Vietnam’s official entry to the 2016 Oscars for Best Foreign Film. His first directorial feature THE PAPER TIGERS garnered praise from Collider as “an impressive feature debut with confident command of the narrative and action alike, it’s an absolutely lovely time at the movies.” Rotten Tomatoes ranked it in each of their top categories for Best Action, Comedies, and Asian American Movies with a Certified Fresh rating.
