Film Courage: Jason, are you a full-time artist?
Jason Park, Filmmaker: No. I’m a full-time thinker of art, but I’m a part-time artist.
At this point my most important thing is my family, being a good husband and being a good father.
Once that is out the way, then I’m an artist and that happens daily within that 24-hour clock.
-Okay, my wife wants to make sure the house is clean. Okay, she’s okay, boom.
-My son, I have to take him to Jiu-jitsu. Okay, he’s good. I’m spending enough time with him. Okay, he’s good, okay.
-Now I have time to create.

I’m always thinking about it but I’m not a full-time artist.

When I’m at work, I’m not necessarily thinking of anything else but movies. I’m thinking of:
-Okay, we have this shot coming up, how am I going to do this?
-How am I going to detect…okay how am I going to shoot this?
-How am I going to get this done in two…okay boom!
I’m always thinking about it but I’m not a full-time artist. It would be wonderful if I could be but it’s also wonderful that I have a happy marriage and I have a healthy and happy bond with my son which supersedes being a full-time artist…(Watch the video interview on YouTube here).
