HLT PODCAST #142 - KORUM BISCHOFF
What a privilege to host such talent on our show. Friday with local, soon to be famous, filmmaker and author ANISA ASHABI, and yesterday’s doubleheader with filmmaker and writer BOBBY ROE and then the Deputy Director of BIMA, and musical extraordinaire KORUM BISHCOFF. I’ll tell you what, if those three don’t pick up your creative interest, I don’t know what, or who will. The big important news up front:

Q&A to follow screening
HISTORIC LYNWOOD THEATRE

I know what you’re thinking (with my best Dirty Harry voice); When do tickets go on-sale? They’re on-sale now. Go to the ticket window at BIMA and reserve yours. As I mention in the ‘cast, this will be a sell out. Therefore and henceforth, let’s get you a quick bio of Korum. Two decades in the nonprofit world—where budgets are tight and flexibility is key—have given Korum the opportunity to gain a wide range of skills in marketing, branding, public relations, management, and event production.
He started his career in arts non-profits at One Reel, working as graphic designer for Bumbershoot, Teatro ZinZanni, and Summer Nights at the Pier. Over time, Korum built up his marketing chops and became Marketing Manager for Teatro ZinZanni where, when not working on the legendary show, he was part of a small team that developed new after-hours projects for the circus tent and developed its education programs. After nearly twelve years, he left the project to become Director of Communications & Events for Bloedel Reserve before finding his way to BIMA which he feels is where he was always meant to be. At BIMA, Korum oversees Marketing & Communications, Cultural & Community Programs, Digital Media & Online Programs, Visitor Experience, and the Museum Store.
Fun to know: Outside of the 9-5, Korum plays drums for Grammy-nominated family music band Recess Monkey, funk and soul extravaganza WurliPop, and his studio projects Western Arrow and The Phantom Years. He has also played with or alongside David Byrne, Jon Hendricks, The Dead Science, Grady Tate, his brother Jherek and many others. For his work as a musician, community organizer, and educator, Korum was the first recipient of the Amy Award for Emerging Artists.
All that as back story goes for a great outline for a lively and entertaining podcast. Listen for yourself and hear.
Thanks, Kevin
