Unfinished Works with the Asian American Film Lab
About the Artists
The Asian American Film Lab (Film Lab) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to the promotion and support of gender and ethnic diversity in film and television through free monthly educational and outreach programming and the acclaimed annual 72 Hour Shootout filmmaking competition (www.asianamericanfilmlab.org). This annual competition has inspired hundreds of filmmakers by helping nascent talent take brave steps towards a filmmaking career. The Film Lab was formed in 1998 by collaborative of New York-based filmmakers whose goals were to hone their craft and to share their knowledge, experience and resources. The membership has grown to comprise professionals, artists and other talented individuals who all share the common goal of creating great film and promoting all filmmakers of color, with a focus on Asian Americans, and the visibility of their stories and characters in film and television.

The Film Lab's Unfinished Works program constitutes its longest running program, ongoing for 15 consecutive years. Unfinished Works allows writers to workshop, in a structured and constructive environment, unfinished plays, screenplays and television scripts.

The Film Lab is run under the direction of President Jennifer Betit Yen. The Unfinished Works program is coordinated through Lorna Nowve. Acting and Advisory Board members include Aaron Woolfolk, Eric Lin, Bea Soong, John Woo, Erik Lu, and James Kyson.

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 interaction with the writers and filmmakers. Don’t miss this opportunity to see amazing new talent—come and enjoy the show!
