Born in Silicon Valley, raised in a Chinese restaurant, coming to Hollywood as the world, and the industry are colliding…. What a wild ride it’s been with a front row seat to history. This is the book I wish I could have had when I was first getting into the business. For anyone on the cusp of pursuing a big impossible dream or in the middle of the pursuit, I hope this book gives you that little push to start or keep going. So proud of the work that my Co Writer Jeremy McCarter and I have been able to get onto the page and to share with you. The book is #Viewfinder it comes out this week. You can order it in the link in my Bio or the audio book is fun too.

@jonmchu shares how the idea came about for his debut memoir, “Viewfinder.” #colbert
@jonmchu takes his inspiration from his dad, a Chinese immigrant who worked both the front room and the kitchen of their family-run restaurant: “The guy that in the back of the kitchen, that was my hero.” The director of Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights talks with Terry Gross about growing up in Silicon Valley, seeing Wicked for the first time, and learning to be adaptable. The Wicked movie comes out in November. Photo courtesy of Universal
Out now!! My book #Viewfinder is finally here!! (Link in Bio) So grateful for all the love and support from you all over the years of movies and adventures. Shout out to my co-writer Jeremy McCarter who is such a beautiful painter of words. I couldn’t have asked for a person with a bigger heart to help tell my story. You have become a great friend, my most trusted confidante. Grateful for you is an understatement. I hope you all get to check it out, hard back, or even audio book. We put our hearts into this to make a book that I wish I had as a young creative looking towards my future. This life is not easy, it takes a lot of unseen hard work and sometimes debilitating struggle but if you keep walking, everyday, you end up at your place. With the release today, I feel like I found a little clearing to hang my flag on to say to others on their journey: keep going. There’s a watering hole ahead.

For the last 3 years, I have been going deep about my journey, the lessons I’ve learned and the unspoken secrets I wish I knew when I was a young dreamer. With my collaborator Jeremy McCarter, we tried to dig out the most interesting Hollywood stories but also the hardest realizations I had to come to in order to survive the ups and downs of pursuing my most ambitious dreams. It’s honestly awkward to turn the lens on my self but I felt compelled to tell my story because the path was not easy but I have been able to live an amazingly abundant creative adventure, and I want every person who is in the cusp of following their dreams to get that little nudge to go do it, or if you’re in the middle of your pursuit to keep going. This is a story of joy and hope, fun behind the scenes tidbits of being on set, some advice on how to be a creative leader and a first hand account of how to find your yellow brick road. Next week it is released and I hope you are able to check it out. (Order from link in bio) #Viewfinder
