EPS 45: Hong Kong actress and executive producer Josie Ho

Our resident host Grace Sanders caught up with the extremely talented Josie Ho. Josie Ho's masterclass recently took place at the UK’s renowned National Film and Television School (NFTS) and showcased sample works by Josie as both a producer and actress. The class explored her artistic vision in fashion, music, film, and the combination of her multimedia interests; her experience of being an international film producer between the East and the West; her mission to support young talents and beyond.

"I think the serendipity of timing and entertainment is an often underestimated point [...] If a project
that was conceived two years ago lands on a certain day, will it still be within the zeitgeist, or not?
[...] When we lose the best timing to launch a movie or CD or whatever, it hurts. I have lived through
[that experience] but I never give up. I tell myself to wait, find a different angle, spot your next
opportunity, and don't let anyone divert your next chance."

Our resident host Grace Sanders caught up with US voice actress EMMA BERMAN to discuss her journey with Disney and Pixar's LUCA, and new role in Star Wards series Young Jedi Adventures!

Set 200 years before “The Phantom Menace,” during the High Republic era, the animated series follows Jedi younglings as they study the ways of the Force, explore the galaxy, help citizens and creatures in need and learn valuable skills needed to become Jedi along the way. Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures releases May 4, 2023 on Disney+ and Disney Junior (where available). She is also currently voicing Ginny on the Disney Jr. Series Superkitties!  

 

Fans may recognize Emma’s unique and adorable voice from the Disney and Pixar’s feature film “Luca.” Emma lent her voice to one of the leads ‘Giulia,’ the friend of ‘Luca,’ voiced by Jacob Tremblay, and ‘Alberto,’ voiced by Jack Dylan Grazer. Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, “Luca” is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.
