Jason is an awesome, up-and-coming musical theatre rock start in the making. We first met doing “Bonnie and Clyde” where I made my directing debut with Play on Words Productions, and he played our Young Clyde. Ever since then we’ve been keeping in contact with each other, and it’s been amazing to see the trajectory that his young career has already taken.
In this episode we got to talk a lot about navigating the stress of teenage life while also trying to begin an acting career both in film and on the stage. We also got to talk about his experience as a young asian man with representation in theatre and film, and how the two vary. Let’s just say that this talk further solidified that we still have a long way to go, especially in film on the path to becoming more inclusive of all races and cultures.
Keep an eye out for Jason on stage in the future, since I’ve got a feeling he’s going to be a big freakin’ deal in no time flat!
Like, subscribe, call your estranged uncle and tell him to listen, whatever you’ve got to do!
Until next week my friends!
