A "Kotonk" in Hollywood

People often ask "what is it like to be an Asian in show business?" For me, it has been a great ride. For 16 years, I was a development executive at the company now known as FremantleMedia, where I oversaw such programs as BAYWATCH. In 2001, I entered the world of academia, where I teach at LA Valley College and Loyola Marymount classes including beginning screenwriting, low budget film production and the art of television. I am currently going for my MFA at National University.
