In the fall of 2021, I got connected to the showrunner
of BEEF through years of working relationships at
A24. I met with Lee Sung Jin and was immediately
impressed during our interview. He asked if I had
any non-sound-related advice since it was his
first time as a showrunner, and I had more on-set
experience than him. I have no idea what advice I
gave him but I do remember the warm feeling I had
knowing I was about to embark on a journey with
someone who values the opinions of his colleagues.
The pilot script for BEEF was also fantastic. After
being sold on the premise of the show, I was eager
to get started.
