MFA Thesis Proposal
CUNY Brooklyn College Department of TV & Radio

Director: Young R. Lee (e-mail: youngryong@hotmail.com)
Working Title: Conspiracy and Truth Format: Fictional Film
Resolution: HD Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Reply to: youngryong@hotmail.com

Main Theme
This is a 30 minute fictional film about conspiratorial politics. The protagonist, a video artist, happens to get caught up in a political conspiracy of the American government that leads to war with North Korea. The conflict between his personal conscience and his fear of the government's power extends the drama of this film and finally he challenges U.S. authority.

This story is motivated by the notion that how a historical event is written in history depends on a society and its people. This film specifies an individual�s challenge against authority while coping with powerlessness and fear before the power. The story demonstartes that history can be changed, even though it is merely by the conscientious act of an individual who tries to tell truth.

Jagger,
Where do I even begin, thanks just doesn't even cut it anymore. You have given me an immense amount of self confidence in my ability to pursue my dream and a swift kick in the pants when I felt like quitting. I finally feel like I am able to take on the show biz world and that is thanks to you. Your classes have taught me the necessity of connecting with a character in order portray them truthfully and without "acting." The energy level you are able to give to your students every class proves that you are a teacher who actually enjoys what they do and who wants to see his students succeed. You should be very proud of the work you do on and off the screen, cause I know I am.
Amber Alvarado

Jagger, I don't know how to thank you for being such an amazing friend. You have always gone out of your way to support and encourage me as an actor, even when I had my own doubts. You have never hesitated to share your advice, and have always been there to lend an ear when I needed it. I can honestly say you are one of the most hard working, honest, and giving actors/teachers/directors that I know. You never hesitate to give actors advice, especially beginning actors. I learned so much from you about teamwork, breaking down a character, and performing. You love nothing more then to see your fellow actors succeed, and you do everything you can to nurture and encourage them. I feel lucky to be your friend, and I am so proud of your success !!!

Jagger,
I was really impressed by your class today. I've kind of been bragging about it all night! I just re-entered the legit world this fall, and of all the workshops I've taken, I learned the most from yours. I am soooo sold on your classes and excited to be in your Comedic Acting Class now!
You are a sweet, endearing and supportive acting coach who will fight for talent to discover new levels of their character.
Thanks again!
Jewel Elizabeth

Jagger,
What can I say.....I've taken several of your classes and each time I learn something new and worthwhile. Your most recent Comedic Class did wonders for me. You taught me how to 'act' by not acting and to be myself so that my natural talent and personality shine through. Because of your unique teaching, I've been called for more auditions and have had call-backs. I'm now waiting to hear if I got a role in a new Indie film. Thank you Jagger for being there for me, you're the best. You can count on me to take more of your classes and spread the word about you to my friends in the acting community.
