How do you create something an audience will love? Start with everything YOU love. Actor Randall Park ("Veep", "Fresh Off the Boat", "WandaVision"鈥�) tells the story of a passion project that's become a beloved repeat-watch: the 2019 Netflix movie "Always Be My Maybe". It all started as a tossed-off remark by his friend Ali Wong: What if we made a romcom together? As Randall and Ali wrote the movie, they celebrated what mattered to them: family traditions, the food and music they love, even their favourite movie stars (hi, Keanu Reeves!). Learn how you can take what authentically matters to you, and create work that will resonate for others too.
While he identifies primarily as an actor, with more than 100 credits on IMDb, Randall Park has always been a writer and an impresario, generating projects and hiring family and friends to get them done. Someone please cast him as the next Columbo.
