GYOPO invites you to attend our 5th Annual Chuseok Benefit brunch presented by CJ on September 30, 2023, from 11 AM to 2 PM, hosted by Helen Park. This year’s honoree is director, writer, and producer, Randall Park. It’ll be a sun-filled evening to celebrate Park, his contributions to Film & TV, support to the Asian American community, and resolute mission to shift pop culture forward. We also celebrate his directorial debut, Shortcomings (2023) with Imminent Collision, the production company founded by Park alongside producer Hieu Ho and screenwriter Michael Golamco.
Chuseok is the Korean harvest festival, which is a time to gather in the spirit of abundance, gratitude, and solidarity. We hope you will be part of this momentous Chuseok celebration and support GYOPO, a collective of diasporic Korean cultural producers and arts professionals generating and sharing progressive, critical, intersectional, and intergenerational discourses, community alliances, and free educational programs in Los Angeles and beyond. All proceeds from the benefit go towards our year-round free public programming and fund GYOPO’s broader mission of generating progressive, critical, intersectional, and intergenerational discourses and community alliances among diasporic Korean cultural producers and art professionals.
