Just finished the director’s cut on a new project for the Government of BC. It’s a series recruiting international healthcare professionals to move their careers here.

It was a memorable one with an amazing crew. We shot over 7 days across 4 cities.

The brief wasn’t to sell a product or a feeling. It was to convince health professionals that relocating their entire life is worth it (it is).

The temptation with a brief like this is to over-dramatize things. But I choose to lean the other way.

The goal was to appeal to something these healthcare workers already believe: the reasons they chose this profession in the first place.

Origin story: Hannah @hannsung and I became friends over BTS (biggest kpop band ever)! If you know us, you already know that we are BTS ARMY💜. I slid into Hannah’s DMs many years ago because I was looking for someone to talk to about BTS 🤣

I grew up watching Hannah on tv when she was a Much Music reporter. She was a role model and a journalist I respected for years. When Our Ocean Table was going to be about Korean culture in Canada as well as ocean sustainability, Hannah was my first call!

I never thought responding to her Instagram posts about BTS would lead us to lively group chats about BTS (shoutout to our BTS Bookclub) and hosting a series together!
