In 1999, she began crafting stories in performance art and cultural debauchery with Club O' Noodles, a Vietnamese American theatre troupe.  This led to her involvement with the Vietnamese American Arts & Letters Association (VAALA) and the Vietnamese International Film Festival (VIFF) in 2003, 2005, 2007.

(Mẹ Ơi!).  OH MOMMY! was Le's directorial debut and she is proud to flow within the creative waters of the new Viet Film Wave, weaving stories and interlacing visuals that touch the soul.
