Lawrence Le Lam

  • Director

Lawrence Le Lam wants to make your life a little less shitty by making something that you’ll watch and think “That was fucking rad! I think I learnt something today!” He’s won a bunch of awards and stuff, but you don’t really care. One person once said that Lawrence’s 1970s Taiwan-set short film about a rebellious radio DJ who broadcasted banned rock roll, The Blue Jet, was “Easily one of the best short films”. Lawrence found that extremely flattering. Lawrence has also made a feature-length documentary, Not Business As Usual, about businesses attempting to make people’s lives less shitty (AKA the social enterprise movement). It’s free online. It’s got around 100k views now, but Lawrence isn’t counting. Lawrence works as a producer, editor, and cinematographer at Point Blank Creative that does cool digital video stuff for cool progressive organizations that try to make the world less shitty such as the David Suzuki Foundation and Vancouver Foundation.

Jerome Yoo

  • Writer

Jerome Yoo is an actor from Korea (not the Kim Jong Un one) who decided to start acting for the pursuit of more Instagram followers. Dropping out of UBC Science to become the next Steven Yeun was not a good enough reason for his tiger parents and thus he had to face cataclysmic consequences. Some say he still sheds a single tear at night from the trauma. After coming back from Hell, he did some acting stuff in Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle, Midnight Sun, and most recently Action No. 1. His most notable memory thus far in his young career is stealing french fries from Michael Bay. Follow him @jeromeoyoo.
