Hi Yin & Young listeners! We’re back finally with a conversation with artist, creative director, and new father Geoffrey Oki!

Follow Geoff Oki:

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.
