The Old Man on the Mountain: with Sung Kang (Fast and Furious, Shaky Shivers)
Welcome to a bonus episode of Stories With Sapphire. I had the honor of speaking with Sung Kang, who you may know as Han from the Fast and Furious movie franchise. He’s now pivoting from acting with his directorial debut Shaky Shivers, a delightful throwback horror comedy featuring classic creatures and practical effects. He shared a very personal spiritual experience he had recently that helped him understand his life’s purpose, the importance of admitting when you dont know the answer, the struggles of being an Asian American in the entertainment business, and his advice for anyone who wants to enter this industry. I was blown away by his thoughtfulness and introspection as an artist, and I hope you enjoy our conversation!
Disclaimer: Cineverse is not an AMPTP affiliated company. SHAKY SHIVERS is in good standing with requirements set forth by SAG-AFTRA and the WGA. I stand in solidarity with the unions in their fight for fair wages.

There are so many superstitions surrounding windows that imply that they are portals to the spirit world, controlling what energies come and go.
