About

Hi, I’m a Korean-American screenwriter based in Texas. I write stories about characters from the margins of society who overcome great obstacles to be seen and heard. I love building worlds where magic happens in the smallest gestures of love, and where a tree or a lake or a fleeting thought on a summer day can become portals to phantasmagoric realms. I have won awards for my genre scripts, like THE WEST MOON CHRONICLE which was adapted from a pilot into a three-issue comic book series published by Scout Comics. I co-wrote THE DISTANT JUMP, a sci-fi action film which is now streaming on Amazon Prime. As a lifelong student of martial arts, I imbue my action scripts with accurate and adrenaline-pumping fight scenes. And as a professional dungeon master for Dungeons & Dragons, I’m steeped in the tropes of adventurous fantasy settings where mortals strive against monsters and gods.
