Koon W. Ya-inta, camera operator (The Flight Attendant, Kate, Shantaram)

Between the Gap

In this episode, I have a pleasure of welcoming Koon W. Ya-inta, SOC, ACO, to our podcast. You may have seen his work as a steadicam operator on HBO The Flight Attendant, Netflix Kate, A24 The Last Black Man in San Francisco, and the upcoming Apple TV+ series Shantaram. But what you don't know is that 12 years ago he was a drummer in a mildly successful progressive rock band called Lucid Dream Syndrome, my band!
I've known Koon for over 16 years now and he remains one of my best friends to date. We get to talk about his life that’s filled with trial and error - from being a music student to a college dropout, coming to America and switching gears to become a steadicam operator, and then most recently shifting his focus again to manufacturing his own camera accessories while getting a master degree in engineering.
This is truly a special conversation that I get to have in an intimate environment at his own home in Bangkok. It’s a very raw and casual conversation in tone, but also a very reflective and meaningful one that’s very thought provoking to me. Suffice to say that we went DEEP into how he gets to where he is today.
I thought I knew him very well, but while recording this, I think I get know him just a little bit more...
