The Silent City Series and Haitian-Vietnamese Star Kettie Jean Breakthrough

NEW YORK, NY, USA (defend.ht) – A new era of film production appeared in July with a series called “The Silent City”, a post-apocalyptic tale starring Haitian-Vietnamese actress Kettie Jean. This series, free to watch on YouTube may change the way films or produced, marketed and ultimately watched.

Can filmmakers be made at any level? Could producers focus more on producing then getting their projects on the big screen? Can there be a democratization of the film and television industry? These are the questions the creator of “The Silent City” Rubidium Wu wanted to answer in the affirmative.

With a limited budget, creativity and a lot of talent, Wu and a group of new actors and actresses began filming in the abandoned spaces of New York. It is an experiment but with its success this film could usher in a whole new era of production and entertainment to the world.

Watch Episode 1

The film stars actor, Eric Stafford and actress Kettie Jean. At the end of episode one, the nameless character – at least so far – played by Stafford notices a fresh set of footprints. We assume in a following episode he may run into Otsu, the character played by Kettie Jean.

Kettie is a Haitian-Vietnamese actress born in the city of Jacmel, Haiti and raised in Montreal, Canada.

She attended the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute for a semester when she first moved to New York City. After completing a Masters degree in International Affairs at Columbia University, Kettie dedicated herself to her first passion: acting.

Kettie started traveling at a young age. She lived a year in Hong Kong as an exchange student and travelled throughout South East Asia, China India, Nepal, Mongolia, the Middle East and Africa.

Her travels shaped her into an adventurous woman and her experiences transcend into her art. Kettie currently lives in New York where she divides her time between acting and non-profit work for Haiti.
