THU TRAN currently lives in Brooklyn, NY where she is constantly engaged in various independent projects that may or may not involve video, sculpture, drawing, or eating. She also works and teaches in various studios around the city with glassblowers and artists. At any given moment, she can be found eating or cooking something experimental and/or cheap. Thu is also host of Food Party, a mind-bending, non-reality cooking show with a cast of unruly puppets as culinary aides and a cavalcade of fictitious celebrities as surprise dinner guests. Shot on location in a technicolor cardboard kitchen as well as other foreign and exotic cardboard locations, each episode will or will not instruct you on how to prepare wild gourmet multi-course meals with ingredients you probably have on hand in your kitchen already, such as pretzel rods, eggs, narwhal lungs, bizarre plot twists, secret ingredients, and pizza. After all, you never know who might show up for dinner. Thu and Food Party have been featured in Paper Magazine, New York Magazine, Gothamist, the Food Network Blog, and The New York Times, among others. Food Party's second season now airs on the Independent Film Channel.
