Show Notes: Jung Park, a Korean immigrant, faced a conflict between her passion for acting and her academic pursuits. She initially wanted to concentrate in visual arts but ultimately chose English and American Literature and Language, which she loved. Despite this, she was conflicted about pursuing his artistic dreams versus what was expected of her. Joining AFTRA and Going into Law School In her junior year, she auditioned for an open call search for an ABC after-school special about kids with HIV and AIDS, which led to her joining the Screen Actors Guild, renowned as "SAG-AFTRA." After a year in Boston, she returned to California and had to choose between continuing acting, moving to LA, or going to law school. She auditioned for a talent agency in San Diego and was accepted into law school. A Stand-up Comedian at Law School While in law school, Jung began doing stand-up comedy in Sacramento and moved to San Francisco, working in law firms and doing stand-up comedy at night. She eventually opened her own law firm in San Francisco and took on numerous cases, including helping a Vietnamese woman avoid deportation for a felony she committed. Jung had wonderful mentors in law, including 70-year-old white men in plaintiff-side civil litigation. She turned down a position at a major law firm after being nominated for the American Ends of Court, which was a group of old white lawyers. Instead, she auditioned and got into a traveling theater program with Kaiser Permanente, which offered health insurance for actors. Pursuing Acting and Leaving Law Jung began her acting career in high schools, continuation schools, and juvenile detention centers, performing educational theater shows and counseling Q&As. She later moved to Southern California and focused on stand-up, sketch, and improv. She joined the La Troupe improv training program and worked at a plaintiff side civil litigation law office, where she worked on behalf of farm workers and other vulnerable individuals. In 2012, she grew tired of being a lawyer and opened a Speech and Debate Academy in Pasadena, California. The academy focuses on helping kids be empowered and find their voice. The academy has been around for 13 years and has participated in the Harvard speech and debate tournament. The pandemic hit, and Jung found fulfillment in coaching speech and running her business. She joined an acting class before the pandemic and enjoyed hobnobbing for coffee afterwards. However, during the pandemic, her teacher encouraged her students to start TikTok accounts and post videos related to their work. She had a sketch idea developed in their sketch writing class, which was set up as a GPS that tells driving directions with the Korean accent. A Career Shift to Screenwriting Jung is now focusing on writing scripts and developing her content to elevate her unique voice. She has also joined Harvardwood, an organization of Harvard alums in the Hollywood industry, where she took a writing class and attended webinars. She is currently getting a director certificate through UCLA Extension and working on a couple of silly short films. One of her projects is a magical realism short story about an old Asian Tiger Mom visited by a mysterious pigeon. She plans to rewrite it as a short film script and act in it herself, as she can do the pigeon well. She is also considering renting out pigeons for TV or film to see how they move and what they could do. Jung grew up in the Mexican border town of Calexico, near Yuma. She talks about the transition to Harvard and experiencing culture shock. Her stand-up comedy often deals with her experiences growing up in a Mexican American border town and feeling more Latina than Korean. She talks about her family and how her father's paranoia fueled a lot of jokes. She enjoyed her stand-up and has been considering writing new material or trying it out on America's Got Talent. Her last performance was a staged play reading for a Jewish Arts Council group in San Santa Barbara, which was a fundraiser. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Jung, a self-professed word nerd, was accepted into a special graduate seminar led by Phil Fisher, the head of the English department. The seminar focused on close reading of novels, a subject Park was deeply interested in. Fisher warned that few undergrads would be accepted, and Jung was accepted into the seminar, which she found to be a valuable learning experience. The seminar helped her understand the meanings of the first few pages of a novel and the larger work. She has since used this knowledge to teach English classes and writing skills to students, demonstrating the importance of close reading and analysis in academic pursuits.

Welcome to the DMF. Where I try to find out what motivates people behind the scenes in the world of acting and entertainment. Today on the podcast I am talking to filmmaker and comedian: Meagan X Johnson. We talk her background. As always you can reach me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with my name Justin Younts. Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy. I discovered my passion for improv in Savannah. After a challenging period during the pandemic, I found myself at a crossroads in my career. I had just finished my contract as a page at NBC, and with the hiring freezes across the industry, I was left feeling uncertain about my future. I had even considered going to law school, thinking I might have to give up my dreams of working in film and entertainment. However, moving to Savannah changed everything for me. In Savannah, I connected with the Front Porch Improv theater, which became a pivotal part of my journey. The creative directors, John and Bri, mentored me and showed me the ropes of freelancing in the arts. They taught me the importance of community engagement and how to hustle for gigs, which was a game-changer for me. I learned that opportunities could arise from simply being present in the community, whether it was chatting with locals at a café or participating in events. Through my work with Front Porch Improv, I was able to participate in various projects, including corporate workshops and youth outreach programs. One of the most rewarding experiences was working with underserved youth, helping them develop emotional intelligence and collaboration skills through improv games. This was especially crucial as kids were returning to school after the pandemic, and they needed support in navigating social interactions. I also had the chance to host events and perform in comedy trolley tours around Savannah, which allowed me to combine my love for performance with my newfound appreciation for the local community. The connections I made through these experiences not only reignited my passion for improv and filmmaking but also solidified my decision to stay in Savannah, even after my relationship ended. Reflecting on my journey, I realize how important it is to seek out opportunities and be open to new experiences. The lessons I learned from John, Bri, and the Front Porch team have shaped my approach to my career and life. I encourage anyone feeling lost or uncertain to explore their passions and engage with their community. You never know where it might lead you. Please like, share, and subscribe to follow my journey and learn more about the transformative power of improv and community engagement. 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:05 - Guest Introduction and Early Life 00:01:30 - Career Shift and Move to Savannah 00:03:01 - Experience with Front Porch Improv 00:05:00 - Networking and Freelancing 00:07:45 - College Education and Influence 00:10:39 - Importance of Diverse Literature and Learning 00:10:42 - Discussion on Teaching and Curriculum 00:14:37 - Conclusion
