63 Straight Ahead w/ Joon Chung: Write What You Know

Meet Joon Chung, script coordinator and absolute sweetheart. From the Sesame Workshop to his job at Nickelodeon, Joon is able to talk about his position as a Script Coordinator on the East coast of the US, and how that differs from the same position held in Los Angeles. Various other things have also helped Joon grow before breaking-in, like the Staten Island Art Grant, and the projects that can be funded by such organizations. We discuss importance of being seen in media whether that is a character who looks like you or a character who has made the same life choices as yourself. We also talk about the impact that improv and sketch comedy classes has had on Joon's skills as a writer. Join us as we enter the Jooniverse to learn more about what it's like being a writer in animation.
