Welcome to our “Sunday Spotlight” series, where we recognize many of the incredible artists who have been awarded by the Princess Grace Foundation-USA.

Writer, editor, director, and producer Ham Tran (Film 2001) is part of the filmmaking movement – the Viet Wave – to bring Vietnamese-content films to American movie houses. After the loss of his mother, Ham came across the outline for Maika: The Girl from Another Galaxy. Maika tells the story of 8-year-old Hung, who has recently lost his mother and meets an alien girl from the planet Maika searching for her lost friend. Based on a Czechoslovakian children’s television program from the 1970s called Spadla z oblakov, the show became popular in Vietnam in the 80s and 90s with many parents naming their daughters Maika. Ham’s adaptation made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival last year in the Kids section, and Maika: The Girl from Another Galaxy is now available on Tubi, Vudu, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV.
