Director’s statement: In How To Make Kimchi (or How To Be Korean) I document my family through found and created material tracking the course of what it means to be in the crux of Koreaness and Americanness. I hope to explore the boundaries defined by history and trauma while also telling a story that is intimately personal and one in which we make our home in. I also incorporate Korean folk tales that I remember fondly while growing up, as well as a blending of my own made up tales, to create this patchwork of memory in family and culture.

I hope that somehow, through creating these small interconnected and faulty memories, I can begin to solidify the often confusing reality of people in flux hoping to find an anchor point.
