Judy Jean Kwon grew up in a Korean-American video store where she fell in love with the art of filmmaking and story-telling. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she is a daughter of Korean immigrants. She split her time between Korea and America as a child and turned to the music and the arts. She started acting when she was 17. After 5 years of acting training, she went on to a successful commercial career, breaking the mold for Asian-American actors by taking on non-stereotypical roles. One of her first jobs was with Tarsem in the famous "Philip's flat TV" commercial where she proudly beat out over 300 Caucasian actors and landed the lead. She broke doors for ethnic actors and competed against non-Asian actresses. Unusual and uniquely beautiful, she went on to model for Herb Ritts, Steven Meisel, and acted in over 100 commercials. She played the lead in one of the first digital feature film to screen at Sundance Film Festival - "The Item".
Kwon participated in the ABC's director fellowship, studied cinema at LACC, photography at Santa Monica College, and writing at UCLA.
Kwon's mission is to give voice to the voiceless and tell stories of the underdogs that are ignored. She is passionate about women's rights and immigrant's stories.

Dr. Donna Marks
America is addicted to… being addicted. And during the pandemic, COVID has accelerated the addictive mindset. Too many of us abuse one or more things, whether it is smoking cigarettes, vaping, having sex, drugging, drinking, eating, gambling, shopping or any of a dozen or more unhealthy and sometimes life-threatening, possibly illegal, career-ending, family-damaging habits. We are caught in a maze, like a lab rat. It is time to Exit The Maze, according to a breakthrough book by a former addict (marijuana, alcohol, and nicotine) who, as a mental health counselor, has successfully treated over 6,000 patients during the past three decades. She has found what has proven to work in treating addiction.


“Addiction behavior operates like a hungry mouse looking for cheese in a maze,” says Dr. Marks, based in South Florida.

“The mouse frantically runs through the maze in all different directions looking for the cheese. The mouse doesn't care about the amount, the shape of the cheese, or its flavor. No matter what, it will race up and down the maze searching. Even if the mouse is shocked with electric current every time it eats the cheese, it may be traumatized, but presented with the opportunity, the mouse will still go after the cheese. Obsessed with getting the cheese, the mouse never seeks the exit out of the maze. A person caught in the maze of addiction is similar to the mouse in that the addict will continue to seek out the "cheese" (a metaphor for any addictive substance or behavior) in spite of negative feedback, no matter how punishing it becomes. Like the mouse looking for cheese, the addicted person will continue to run the maze, frantically searching for the next "reward" or fix. This has become a massive social problem.”
