What was the sequence of events that occurred while he was making his documentary about Koreans in Cuba? Q8 A few months after leaving Cuba, I started acting on something that had formed inside me from that first day in Cuba. I gathered enough courage and told my employer that I was quitting my job as a lawyer so that I could make a feature-length documentary about Jeronimo and other Koreans in Cuba. To raise funds, I made a short video with the recordings I had shot in Cuba and launched a crowdfunding campaign with a target of 10,000 U.S. dollars. People reacted with excitement, providing over 22,000 U.S. dollars via various channels. With my new funding and much gratitude, I returned to Cuba in the summer of 2016 with five friends who worked in the film and media industries. In the span of two weeks and across four cities, we met over 100 Korean Cubans and interviewed 35 of them. Needless to say, it was a life-changing experience. 05 10 crowdfunding New Word Preserving the Past, Celebrating the Present 113
