Lee Isaac Chung

The Envelope - A podcast by Los Angeles Times - Thursdays

Our guest is Lee Isaac Chung, the writer and director of “Minari,” a semiautobiographical story about a Korean American family living in rural Arkansas in the 1980s. Chung talks about the long personal journey leading up to the release of the movie, the young actor who dressed up as a cowboy at the Sundance Film Festival world premiere, and the decision to make “Minari” in Korean.
