Being an eyewitness to history can change anyone’s life. The 9/11 attack on New York changedOn that sunny fall morning, Tran was a still photographer, living with her boyfriend in lower Manhattan, close to the Twin Towers. Some 18 years later she has a new home, Los Angeles; a new career, cinematography; and a family that began after she and her boyfriend married and moved West.
She was in bed in the high-rise Battery Park apartment she shared with her boyfriend, adjacent to the Twin Towers, when they heard a loud crash. “I jumped out of bed and thought it might be a ship crashing into the harbor, that’s what it sounded like,” recalls Tran. From her apartment window, she saw the North Tower on fire. She began shooting photos, like the still photographer and photojournalist she was. As she paused for a moment, she saw the second jet plow into the South Tower.
Tran grew up in Virginia, in a poor family that favored camping vacations and beach time. She and her husband moved to L.A.’s Silver Lake neighborhood a decade ago. It’s a hilly section that has long been a magnet for artists and entertainment creatives, not as posh as Beverly Hills or Bel-Air, more urban than the Hollywood Hills.
After 9/11 she applied to film school and was accepted to UCLA. That’s when she and her partner headed west.
