Lloyd Lee Choi interviewed by Emmanuel Itier

Meet Canadian Korean filmmaker Lloyd Lee Choi, making his feature writing and directing debut with ‘Lucky Lu’. This is a very emotional and hopeful portrayal of the immigrant experience in New York City. It’s about a delivery rider whose world is turned upside down when he loses his only source of income. With his long-estranged family finally on their way to reunite, Lu is forced to navigate the unforgiving city and fight to protect the fragile life he has spent years building. I, being an immigrant from France, can attest to the difficulties one faces and how it is a daunting, haunting experience to overcome and to figure out a positive outcome. Lloyd Lee Choi has expressed with this film some of the highest forms of human spirit and what it takes to make it in this difficult World.  This movie is splendid, and it will give you a new perspective on New York and what it takes to survive as an immigrant in New York. I salute the spirit of Lloyd Lee Choi, and I wish him the best of Luck for  ‘Lucky  Lu’. Thank you for the following inspiring conversation.
