ART A Reasonable Truth Premiers “SoCal Waves” as New Single With Upcoming Music Video

It’s about that time! Summer is in the air and the ‘Centerpiece’ has released another anthem, this time, showcasing beach and west coast vibes by the ocean that will take you away on a vacation. “SoCal Waves” originally premiered in February 2016 with the My Vacation In LA season 1 finale in a demo form.

ART A Reasonable Truth produced an album with Grammy board and multi-million dollar studio-taught mix and master Wendy Levin of D.M. Gremlin Studios with an instrumental by Billy Burton; the collaboration and oceanic sounds are dreamy and chillular.

Listen to “SoCal Waves”

After releasing 3 singles prior including “Centerpiece”, “Get Down With It!” and “Ready”, “SoCal Waves” is planned to be the first music video of a visual album, but unlike artists like Beyoncè and Todrick Hall who release it all at once, the “Trippy Tran Man” plans to release the videos out of order and at different times before all the pieces of the ‘Centerpiece’ concept is complete. Trippy.

Hollywood Walk of Fame Takes A Callous Turn In New Episode of “My Vacation In L.A.”

Erin meets something of iNPersonNation with new My Vacation In L.A. season 2, episode 5 “Hollywood Walk of Fame”.

Dreamers see beauty and excitement in the little things life has to offer and imagine more. Others see things from a realistic perspective and live their lives with each step as it goes. As both personalities are shown in contrast, the “Turn This Around” theme is complimentary in the new episode of season 2 of My Vacation In L. A. – and it’s shocking to see what happens next. 


From the “Vacation In” docu mini-series, a new group of pals visit the west coast hosted by recent resident Anthony “Rory” Tran who takes us on another trip this season to Hollywood with a day at the Walk Of Fame.

Travel spots include treading on the Sunset strip, Hollywood Blvd, and even the infamous Union Station that many travel around Los Angeles by. Where will they go next?

In season 1, the pals check out the Hollywood Wax Museum including horror icon scares! (Watch below!)

Like the official My Vacation In L.A. page.

Now if you’ve been watching the show since season 1, the adventure with Alicia was a bright and colorful experience from Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, Rainbow Harbor in Long Beach, Knott’s Berry Farm in OC and Hollywood celebrity home tours and the Hollywood Wax Museum. The documentation presented a “live” and even truer mix of Vlogging and documentary-style recording than mainstream television showing us more than flashy cuts and more about the content and convos while complimenting these unique adventures. 

R.I.P. Christopher Corman. Read an article about our actor who passed at 31.

In season 2, we’ve so far seen LAX, The Loop and DTLB nightlife (which brought back My Vacation In L.A. – Top 10 Countdown star Ash Nicole), Seal Beach in OC, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Hollywood museum and it’s looking like (spoiler alert!!!) the next adventure includes Universal Studios. A sort of distance began to gap between some people during that week in this season with the introduction of 2 new people that our lead girl Erin knew. The end of this episode has come as a big shock to viewers who are saying they “…Can’t believe it happened like that” and “Wow…surprised it went there” about actions taken by the Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown star that you can experience in our latest entry.

40 Days Of Success – The Interview with Filmmaker Anthony “Rory” Tran

Filmmaker, writer, director, producer, actor, singer, rapper, editor Anthony “Rory” Tran highlights the talents and collaborations from Cincinnati to Los Angeles including short films, feature films, commercial work and more. Includes a look at the future work of TrippyTran and ART.

Discover an in-depth look at all 40 Days Of Success!

Back in March, you may have seen #40DaysOfSuccess on social media by multi-talented filmmaker, actor, singer/rapper, DJ, etc. Anthony “Rory” Tran as each day, he posted something to be proud of in the independent film community to industry media work. Now come end of September, the Tran Man shares his experiences producing Denizen, directing/writing Wreckfest, what’s going on with Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown and The Official Trippy Tran Films Shorts Collection, plus the new show Choices: An Interactive Story and an exclusive look at working on his debut pop album.

Something tells me this is just the beginning as grounds aren’t all covered (see the in-depth look at 40 Days Of Success above) as projects he ran camera for and DP’d like Maery Queens, The United Estates of America, PALS, and assisting photo booths for Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards aren’t mentioned here – and we can assume that it will be discussed in the future. However, there is a lot already covered in 40 Days Of Success – The Interview and fans will be pleased to know that Tran is on the move to complete new releases with this visual update.

What are your thoughts on #40DaysOfSuccess? How long until another 40 more successes are completed would you say for this ambitious film maker?

Episode 2 “DTLB” Takes #MVILA2 On A New Adventure to The Loop 

Now that the season 2 intro is out, it’s time for the tripsters to take an adventure on Ocean Blvd with a psychedelic journey taking us to colorful downtown Long Beach, California – where Tran currently lives – making episode 2 titled “DTLB” an unforgettable experience.


In season 1, our visit to Long Beach included the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Rainbow Harbor tour, and a look at the Queen Mary. This time, it’s nightlife in LB with a visit to The Federal Bar, Rock Bottom Brewery, the Grand Prix fiber optic landmark The Loop and more as Erin enjoys her 4/20 evening in LA County while having a blazin’ good time!

Viewers get to see the Obliquity actress get a little tipsy, similarly to what we saw in season 1 when Alicia, Trippy T and Legend go to Venice Beach. The “liquid courage” takes her and Randy around the beautiful rainbow city, sharing moments that remind us of the original My Vacation In Cincinnati – the short film about a couple who wins tickets to Cincinnati, Ohio – as Erin points out all the unique scenery and even asks to be put on top of The Loop. Daring!

Ashley Hernandez (AKA Ash Nicole) from the My Vacation In LA – Top 10 Countdown season 1 video makes a dashing return for season 2 in this episode and is joined by videographer Anthony “Rory” Tran (AKA Trippy T) as he hosts and records the show again.  Be sure to check out Ashley Hernandez in the web series Mæry Queens.

Trippy Tran Films Projects 2016

There are a lot of inventive media creations here at Trippy Tran Films and not even all have released. What better way to share them on the birthday of America. Let’s take a look at some of our most anticipated projects of 2016.

1. Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown


The debut feature film premiered in December 2013 in Cincinnati, OH with a 2 and a half hour runtime. This psychological thriller has been raved about from those who have actually gotten to witness it calling it “mind blowing”, “like entering The Matrix” and “original”, this movie is sure to be a cult classic whenever it gets released. The issue is finding investors to pick it up and to have a theatrical cut of around an 1hr45 and to have a sound designer master the audio mix.

    ‘My Real Life In LA’ – A New Mini-Series Starring Anthony “Rory” Tran (Trippy T)

    Just last month in the My Vacation In LA- Top 10 Countdown video, it was announced that My Real Life In LA was announced.

    Here you can see the playlist of all of the My Real Life In LA videos and they will be updated periodically.


    My Real Life In LA: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhxymR3Dl0WnXGQa1kvBpQOI0tR3p5f77

    Filmmaker/actor/singer/rapper Anthony “Rory Man” Tran aka Trippy T has lived in LA since St. Patrick’s Day of 2014. Since then, several videos, photos and amazing journeys have taken place by this charismatic and charming young talent. Now with snapchat saving stories and being the current “go-to” social media platform, these adventures are being released and it’s not a vacation it’s the real deal.

    image

    From a trip to Monterey, CA on the 17 Mile Run, Memorial Day at West Beach in Laguna, being the official videographer at OC Pride Fest with RuPaul’s Drag RACE stars Courtney Act, Gia Gunn and Laganja Estranja and viral pop superstar Steve Grand to adventures out and about in Burbank and more, the My Real Life In LA series will be posted all over http://youtube.com/trippytran as opposed to the pro channel YouTube.com/TrippyTranFilms since they are recorded with a cell phone. That doesn’t make the quality that much lower though considering how technology and smartphones have evolved in the last 5 years+ alone.

    Top 10 Countdown for ‘My Vacation In LA’ Hosted by Ash Nicole and Charlie Harris

    image

    Watch the countdown video below!

    SoCal just got sunnier with the new docu mini-series My Vacation In LA which premiered this past February. Now Californians Ash Nicole and Charlie Harris are counting down the candid, the monumental, the hilarious, the zany, the uniquely beautiful and interesting travel moments plus, our special guest hosts show us plenty of fun surprises sprinkled all across this journey ever so sweetly- and it debuts here at Trippy Tran Films. (Watch it below!)

    The dramedy of a trio traveling was a quiet smash amongst Cincinnati residents with the film My Vacation In Cincinnati when it premiered in the 48 Hour Film Festival 2012 starring the late Chris Corman. The short, being mostly an improv film with 5 locations in 2 days, was based on a screenplay by Shane Stephens (who played the outrageous magician, Tom Rococo.) The film received a director’s cut after the competition and promoted local bands and artists.

    image

    Throughout the process of completing our debut feature film, the psych thriller Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown, writer/director Anthony ‘Rory’ Tran (who now lives in L.A.) was editing bonus features for MVIC (My Vacation In Cincinnati) when Alicia became his first Ohio visitor on the west coast. They made a joke about filming their adventure traveling all over LA (and the OC too with Knott’s Berry Farm) making a new series out of it to share with the world.

    ‘My Vacation’ Series Gets A Blast of New Adventures from Cincinnati to Los Angeles

    image

    When the short film My Vacation In Cincinnati premiered at the 48 Hour Film Festival, it became a hit for its quirky dramedy at a B&B (Bed & Breakfast) when a couple wins a radio contest to see their favorite rock band. Written by Shane Stephens and filmed in 2012, the cast mostly did improv with the extreme time constraint traveling to 5 different locations all over the Nati. Starring Obliquity actor Chris Corman, the movie inspired the docu mini-series 3 years later with My Vacation In LA which released 7 episodes this past February in 2016.

    image

    Erin Wilkin (Obliquity) with Freddy Kruger in My Vacation In LA season 2.

    With a Top 10 Countdown being released soon for MVILA starring MÆRY QUEENS actress Ash Nicole, a season 2 has also been announced starring another Obliquity actress, Erin Wilkin. Not only are we preparing season 2, but My Vacation In Cincinnati 2 has been announced as well and it features singer/rapper Trippy T aka Rory Man from MVILA seasons 1 and 2 and Alicia from season 1. These new adventures take Rory to a reunion for 2 weeks after he moved 2 years and 2 months prior to LA, returning back home since the earnest move.

    Without revealing too many details, My Vacation In Cincinnati 2 features actresses like Tia Casey from Obliquity, Christina Murnen star of Duality, Tani Bhatnagar from Coexist, and Ren Hicks writer of His Name Is Walter and star of Wreckfest, plus talent from the Obliquity soundtrack including Dustin James and Maliz Pop. This is one reunion you don’t want to miss!
