The omnipresent yet anonymous American writer also appears in Ho’s film The Name. Drawing on the abundance of clichéd Hollywood films, Ho edited together clips from more than 20 films that depict the American male author as omniscient narrator and chronicler of world events. The script for The Name comes from the various texts written by Hanrahan.
