S3 | EP 113 - Koji Meets Chaos! | Koji Steven Sakai
Koji Steven Saki, author, screenwriter, producer and host of The Unofficial Official Podcast joins us to share about how he launched his career in the great wide world of entertainment! Why he loves Zombies. How he's a wanna-be "prepper" and what's the behind survival in "end of world" scenes. When opportunities come up, always say yes - until is a no. The first few words of a brand new writing project are always the scariest. There's a space in the middle where a whole slew of creatives thrive, who aren't in top 2% of rich & famous, but still making a good living ,having some fun & enjoying life. Plus all the regular, everyday Chaos!
This week The Chaos Keepers chat with Koji Steven Sakai who is a screenwriter, producer, host of The Unofficial Official Story podcast, a husband, a dad & is the founder of Little Nalu Pictures LLC. We chat about how Koji got his start in the world of entertainment with screenwriting, producing, coaching & starting his own podcast with Jennifer Field and Dwayne Perkins. Jozlyn is also joined by her two voiceover friends, Lloyd Waller & Gaby Borja, to create a round table convo! At the end we try to recreate a little bit of fun with what you will find on The Unofficial Official Story Podcast (they do this so much better! So be sure to take a listen to their pod) and then find out what each of our Biographies will be named! Gaby definitely brings the funniest, if not strangest reason for why King Charles is maybe a vampire. Lloyd shares his personal childhood paranormal experience. Jozlyn's Biography title is the lamest of the group. Plus all the rest of the everyday Chaos & Conversation we bring to the table. Cheers.
