Thang Khan Sian Khai, known to his friends as Sian Khai, 19, grew up in Myanmar and came to the United States two years ago to attend Colorado Mountain College’s Isaacson School for New Media. His passion for documentary has only grown and he has even found an attachment to Colorado.

As he nears the completion of the degree, he agreed to a short interview about his experiences. His latest project, a short film titled “The Untouchable Skin”, is below:
