Joseph Juhn
Joseph is an award-winning lawyer-turned-filmmaker with a passion for diasporic narrative. His first feature documentary, "JERONIMO", which is about a Korean Cuban revolutionary, drew over 20,000 audiences when it opened in theaters in Korea. Moreover, the film was selected at 17 film festivals around the world, winning several awards on the way. Prior to working on “JERONIMO” full-time, Joseph was an in-house counsel at the Manhattan-based South Korean government agency (KOTRA) for 4 years where he advised Korean companies and entrepreneurs on US intellectual property and startup law. Here, his job revolved primarily around soft IP law, assisting companies draft business strategies around their IP assets while implementing mechanisms to avoid potential IP disputes with US counterparts. Passionate about causes pertinent to the Korean American community, Joseph also served on the steering committee of KSE (Korean Startups & Entrepreneurs), a non-profit with an aim to empower entrepreneurs of Korean descent in the US. Joseph is currently in post-production of his new documentary "CHOSEN", which follows 5 Korean Americans running for US Congress in November 2020. It explores their role for both US and Korea.
