Description

Maria the Korean Bride challenges and explores what marriage means cross-country, targeting 1 and 1.5 Korean-American Generation. It includes my random marriage proposals, interviews with various participants and mock wedding ceremonial performances with them. When complete, Maria the Korean Bride will be a feature documentary including highlights from most of the fifty states (plus 2 US Territories) where these marriages take place. As a mid-thirty year old Korean-American woman I face tremendous pressure and guilt from my own parents and community today. While this may seem, at first a harmless little predicament that makes a jaunty Broadway musical or a hip sitcom, it is very REAL. Follow your heart is my motto. Stay tuned!
