"Breaking Into New Hollywood: Minari" (Q&A with costume designer Susanna Song) Fashion fans and aspiring costume designers: come join our 5th anniversary screening of "Minari"! The film will be followed by a conversation between "Minari‘s" costume designer Susanna Song and "Breaking Into New Hollywood" co-author Ada Tseng.

Amidst the challenges of new life in the strange and rugged Ozarks, they discover the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home.

She combed through old family photo albums to capture the textures, colors and silhouettes of that era.
