50 分钟Hey, and welcome Back to the A24 podcast.
For today's episode, we introduce Minari writer director Lee Isaac Chung to novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen, who we're currently working with on the TV adaptation of his Pulitzer Prize winning book, the Sympathizer, which Park Chan Wook is set to direct.
Last week, Isaac and Viet talked by zoom and after discovering they're basically next door neighbors, went on to have an incredible conversation about their approaches to art and storytelling.
We're so excited for you to listen.
Hello, I'm Isaac Chung, the writer director of Minari.
Hi.
This is Viet Thanh Nguyen.
I'm the writer of the Sympathizer and the Committed, and I'm talking with Isaac today for the A24 podcast.
Now, Isaac, we've actually never met.
This is our first time meeting each other virtually or in real life.
Yeah, I read your book.
I read your book many years or when it first came out, and honestly, I love it.
I love that book.
So I was so excited to see that we're going to do something together.
Yeah, me too.
I mean, we're going to get into all this and I love Minari too, but I just want to find out.
Where are you calling from?
I'm in South Pasadena, California.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm in Pasadena.
