A most memorable moment

JULIA KIM served as a long standing member of the CSA (Casting Society of America) EQUITY IN ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE, which explores creating new industry standards around cultural and gender issues.

In 2020: of the 819 INVITED INTO THE MOTION PICTURE ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES, 45% were women and 36% were from underrepresented ethnic and racial communities.

"To have been selected to The Academy as part of this group is especially special for me.”
