50 • THE ARTISAN WINTER 2021 I read the beautiful screenplay in a fl ash, the moment it arrived. I had anticipated the story would be about an immigrant family strug- gling to get into a foreign country, but Minari is so much more than that. It is a compelling, beautifully told tale of an individual daring to follow his dream. The story follows a family who moves from California to Arkansas so that their father can realize his dream. I fell in love with the script. The fact that Walking Dead's superstar Steven Yeun, and top Korean actors Youn Yuh-jung and Yeri Han had signed on as leads, with A24 as a distributor, rushed me to Tulsa, Oklahoma, with an excited heart. My most important make-up goal is make-up that doesn't stand out. I believe it's best when I've done just enough to get the desired effect, but not so much that the audience notices. I believe the best make-up is natural, matches the actor's emotion and matches the situation he/she is in. It should never in any way distract from the performance that the actor is giving. It is only to support and enhance. That's where my years of experience come in to play.
