Where We Begin

Where We Begin is a story of Jimmy, a Korean American finding a sense of place through historic places. We explore Jimmy’s race, relationships, family and architecture as a not so “tiger mom” parenting style may have sculpted his sense of identity.

Directed by Fidencio Casas, Joshua Kwak, Where We Begin leans on a strong ensemble — Joshua Kwak, A Leslie Kies, Rawle D. Lewis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2020.
