"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. Synopsis: A Korean American family moves to an Arkansas farm in search of its own American dream. 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. For the 1980s costumes, costume designer Susanna Song drew on her own Korean American immigrant family, who moved to California in the late seventies. She combed through old family photo albums to capture the textures, colors and silhouettes of that era. Working closely with director Lee Isaac Chung, actor Steven Yeun, and producer Christina Oh, she built nostalgic wardrobes that included Jacob’s red hat, Monica’s blue blouse and polka-dot skirt and young David’s cowboy boots.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career in the fashion industry before discovering her passion for costume design at the Falcon Theatre (now the Garry Marshall Theatre). Song went on to design for music videos, commercials, and films, before joining the costume teams of TV shows including "The Goldbergs," "Schooled," "American Horror Stories" and "Afterparty" en route to becoming a TV designer in her own right.

The nine VUSD performance groups will perform choir, a string ensemble, Ballet Folklorico, ukuleles, steel drums, and more. “I am thrilled we have such a wide variety of ages from elementary through high school who want to perform at the Vista Village Winterfest. It is important that our students have opportunities to showcase their art in the community,” said Susan Stuber, VUSD Visual and Performing Arts Department Resource Teacher, who worked with the district’s performing arts directors to organize the Vista Village Winterfest music and dance showcase. Stuber added, “For those who attend the event, their heart will be filled with joy as they hear the sweet sounds of steel drums, choirs, instrumental ensembles, and ukuleles; as well as watch a variety of dance performances. There will even be an opportunity for everyone to sing a few carols during the actual tree lighting ceremony.” Alongside the diversity of performances, families are invited to enjoy a Christmas film at the Cinépolis Cinemas and play movie trivia to win Santa-themed prizes or shop at the makers market and craft fair organized by the VUSD Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) featuring arts and crafts, games, and gifts to purchase. The tree lighting celebration will take place at 6 p.m.
