The Korea Society and the Asian American Film Lab, working together to promote multi-cultural collaboration, are delighted to present Unfinished Works, a program that features performances and a video installation that showcase Korean and Korean-American stories, writers, and themes. The evening’s selections will feature works by finalists Jae-Ho Chang, Aimiende Negbenebor Sela, and Chelsea S. Kwon.
Chang’s documentary, Ultimate Christian Wrestling, chronicles the struggles of a traveling pro-wrestling ministry as they confront the challenges of modernity; Sela presents a staged reading of her script, A Day in the Life of Who, which follows a Korean-American photojournalism student who confronts her own troubled past when she inadvertently documents the last day of a homeless woman’s life; while Kwon poses the question “What would you do if you unexpectedly found $30,000?” in her one-act comedy-drama, The Taste of Money.
Film Lab’s Unfinished Works coordinator, Lorna Nowve, will moderate the event in the Film Lab’s signature style, welcoming audience participation in the creative process and directing interaction with the writers and filmmakers. Don’t miss this opportunity to see amazing new talent—come and enjoy the show!
