STORY TIME:
Swipe to see the glow-up: from my first doubles in 2017 to now in 2025.

I moved to LA in 2014 to pursue my MFA in directing at USC. Living abroad chasing your dreams? That part is great. But homesickness? Yeah, that hits hard.

Food has always been the thing that brings me back to home, to culture, to community, even to myself. But as a broke student? I couldn’t always buy the flavors I missed. So I tried making them myself.

One of the first things I tried? Doubles.
I love doubles.

In 2017, I made my first batch and called up some friends to try it. Safe to say...it wasn’t perfect. But they showed love. Looking back at the pic now? Yeah...let’s just say we’ve come a long way.

But I kept at it. Kept practicing. Kept sharing. Because I knew one day this would be bigger than just food. It would be about building community and bringing people together.

I’m still a Director. 

I still love telling stories and connecting with people.

Doubles N’ Ting event is really just an extension of that with Doubles being the star of the show.

I will never stop making films. 

But I’m also a Creative Entrepreneur who couldn’t pass up a chance to bring a little piece of home to LA and share how doubles makes me feel with the world.

Follow eatdoubles and roll with me on this journey.

P.S. Next, my upcoming film aintmichaelfilm
