HIGHLIGHTS:
James met Geoff at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival years ago and was able to help score him some tickets.
Geoff was born and raised in Sacramento
Moved to LA for school, majored in design and worked at different ad agencies as creative director
Lived in Taiwan for a couple of years in the mid 2010’s for a change of pace.
Recently lived in Taiwan for a short time and then moved back with his wife and newborn.
As a college student, it was definitely a big change from Sacramento to LA in terms of the number of Asians.
Explored his Asian American identity more in LA.
Helped a friend shoot/co-produce a few movies: Wait For Me, Broken Kingdom.
Geoff relives how he met his wife in Taiwan.
What it’s like being a new dad.
Discussion turns to the Atlanta spa shootings a year ago and anti-Asian attacks earlier this year.
Thoughts on living in the U.S. vs Taiwan, especially as a new father.
Geoff likes vintage shirts and has had t-shirt parties in LA Chinatown.
LANGUAGE CORNER (01:20:41):
Taiwanese: 你是佗位的人? - lí sī tó-ūi ê lâng? - where are you from?
Japanese:
ばかうまい - baka umai - crazy delicious. (I mispronounce it in the podcast)
ホーム - hōmu - platform
班長 - hanchō - team leader. The term “head honcho” is often mistakenly referred to as Spanglish but actually comes from Japanese.
Mandarin:
婊子 - biǎozi - a spiteful woman
馬馬虎虎 - mǎmahūhū - so-so, not so bad, careless
Korean: 미국 - mi-gug/mi-guk - America, literally “beautiful country” (美國). “Guk,” which means country, was used as a derogatory term towards Asians after the Korean war.
