Tony Bui is a Vietnamese American independent film director.
Most famous for his film, “Three Seasons,” which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and became the only film ever to win both the Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize there. The film was based on Bui’s own experiences dealing with the changing landscape and people of his ancestral home of Vietnam.
