Director Statement
Throughout my life, I’ve found myself at the intersection of various communities and have always been unable to condense my entire identity into a singular category. Having spent parts of my life in two different countries, while navigating two starkly contrasting heritages, my voice as a filmmaker aims to highlight narratives that bring together humanity in universal ways and simultaneously creates specific spaces for BIPOC stories to flourish. Out of all of the screenplays that I’ve had the opportunity to bring to life with other creative artists, Pastor’s Kid has undoubtedly been one of the most challenging. Not due to the page length or technical elements within it, but rather because the heart of it was crafted by some of the multifaceted truths within my life that have remained untouched. As the daughter of two Christian Korean immigrants that dedicate their careers and lives to a religion, discovering my heritage, faith, and sexuality and the intersections of it all has been an ongoing journey that often feels impossible to navigate.
