1. Age? 33
2. Where were you
born? Korea
3. What is a typical
day like for you? I work on film distribution during the
day, do some drawings, go to movie screenings and parties, and
hopefully find time to take a walk.
4. You list Travel
as one of your favorite hobbies, can you tell us one of your most
memorable trips? I went to Montreal 3 years ago, when the
international jazz festival was on. So many people packed the
city with Jazz music.

5. You started a club under the Music,
Movie and TV category entitled, "Cupid's Mistake". Can you tell
us more about your club? 'Cupid's Mistake' is a cute film
about the problems and happiness of dating. I wanted to share these
small subjects with people through the media. This film has special
meaning to me. Also there was a super low budget and no actual script,
just actor's improvisation, that's why their character has the same
name as the actors in the real world. |

6. I want to watch
"Cupid's Mistake", where can I find it? Phaedra Cinema (distributed
Yellow, Gonin) will release it soon within a few months. But before
this takes place, a few film festivals will show 'Cupid's Mistake'.
The first screening is January 25 at the Light+Screen Film Festival
in NYC. Also I'm currently shooting 'Cupid's Mistake' sequel. |
| 7. How did you get
into film making? When I was in the Art College in Korea,
I loved film. I thought to myself, I want to make "total" art. What
is the ultimate art - it's Film. |

8. Is being a director
in Hollywood as glamorous as it sounds? I'm not a director
in Hollywood like James Cameron, but rather an independent director.
I like being independent, I have the freedom to create art. 9.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
9. Where do you see
yourself in 10 years? Continuing to make even more beautiful
