Yule Kim was born on June 19th, 1981 in Danbury, CT. During the intervening years between then and now, he had aspirations and anxieties, tragedies and triumphs, and the occasional epiphany that were not dissimilar to others of his age. One day he found himself settled in Brooklyn, NY writing a short autobiographical paragraph for the DVD and website of his friend’s short film, which Mr. Kim assisted in creating. One would normally think that Mr. Kim would initially have found it odd to write about himself in the third person, but this was a mode of narrative that he had always found more natural and honest than the deceptive first person perspective now commonly used in the overripe, realist fictions churned out by MFA workshops and supposedly literary communes. What was truly discomforting to Mr. Kim was the genre of his little piece, the autobiography, which he had scrupulously avoided in the past due to their intrinsically tired, self-indulgent nature. So, he instead decided to write a memoir, the only genre he despised more than the autobiography, but even then ran into difficulties since fictions of that type normally require the dreaded first person narrative, interspersed with the occasional “I” to weave a verisimilitude of intimacy with the reader. Even there, he had failed. But, rather than the silence which would have salvaged a modicum of dignity for Mr. Kim, he instead decided to write about his birth by using only the barest facts and a vague description of the interlude between now and then, and for even stranger reasons, known only to him, ended with a sentence apropos to nothing in the paragraph. He had for the longest time found it difficult to sleep and would wake at dusk thinking it a Homeric dawn, suffused with abhorrence since he would soon forget his dream, one redolent of Norway and accents of the arctic North.

CAST Stephan Paternot has a round about story about getting into film. Born in 1974 to a French father and American mother, Steph grew up in Switzerland, the United Kingdom and briefly the United States for the first eighteen years of his life. In 1992, he moved to America to attend Cornell University. In 1994 he cofounded theglobe.com whilst still attending college. By age 24 Paternot set stock market history when he successfully took theglobe.com public with a record setting IPO pushing his company valuation to over $1Billion—and rocketing his net worth to over $97 million. In his six years as CEO, he raised nearly $200 million and assembled a world-class management team. His Company was frequently ranked as one of the top thirty sites in the world with revenues climbing to $30 million in 2000. Shortly thereafter, at 26, Steph left the company and his fortunes behind to take some much needed time off and regain his sanity. As a first step to recovery he published his hi-flying internet adventures in a tell all book called A Very Public Offering. He then finally threw himself into his lifelong dream of being in the film industry, working as both an actor and a film producer. Paternot, represented by UTA, one of Hollywood's most influential talent agencies, produced and starred in Shutter, a finalist at four film festivals, and has now completed his second film, Wholey Moses, co-starring Linda Hamilton and Shannyn Sossamon, which screened at the 2003 Tribeca Film Festival. Paternot is also adapting A Very Public Offering to the big screen. Johanna Goldstein is a 22 year-old graduate of Sarah Lawrence College. Throughout the past four years she has studied film, theater, fiction, literature, and photography, with a leading major in the many wondrous uses (and varieties) of cheese. She is an internet poker champion, as well as an aficionado of the art of "flamenco!" She most enjoys, however, wearing black, drinking coffee, and looking vaguely bored and depressed, yet oddly interesting and mysterious. In Time Enough At Last Johanna Goldstein plays Maggie, a conflicted young girl who is hopelessly and eventually bitterly entwined in her desire to keep her family together. Johanna Goldstein believes that she could forge a very productive career as an editor for "saucy" and "tantalizing" romance novels.
