\u2018Jamojaya\u2019s Justin Chon On Creative Freedom And Clicking With Rapper Star Rich Brian \u2013 Sundance Studio: <\/h1>\n

Brian \u201cRich Brian\u201d Imanuel said he and director Justin Chon hit it off as soon as they met, introduced by the Jakarta-born rap star\u2019s agent. \u201cWe clicked that day and that was when we said, \u2018Let\u2019s, maybe, make something,\u201d he told Deadline\u2019 Sundance Studio.<\/p>\n

In Chon\u2019s latest film, Imanuel stars as a version of himself, a young Indonesian rap artist who\u2019s just signed a big label deal and landed in swanky beachfront digs in Hawaii to record, pursued by his fired manager father. The star said he found making a film \u201charder than music\u201d but he\u2019d like to to do more.<\/p>\n

Chon (Blue Bayou, Gook, 2017 NEXT Audience Award winner, Ms. Purple) said that at the time they met he\u2019d recently finished another project and \u201cfelt like I need something that was completely mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got to rehearse for two months and shoot it the way I felt it should be shot\u2026I cast who I thought was right,\u201d he said of the independently financed pic. \u201cWatching Brian grow during this process was really a beautiful thing to see. This is his first film, and for him to trust me was something really truly special, and ultimately shows on the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n
