Daniel Yoon

East Bay

An odd and intense middle aged Korean American man flirts with the idea of suicide because he believes he's failed his immigrant parents. He's disturbed by his increasingly vivid hallucinations of what his life could have been. So he pursues spirituality to calm himself, and in the process encounters others who are struggling in their own ways.

Post Concussion

First-time filmmaker Daniel Yoon's irreverent, semi-autobiographical film POST CONCUSSION is a brutally funny, unsentimental yet oddly inspiring portrayal of one man's journey after a serious head injury. Matthew Kang, a young management consultant (Yoon) is struck by a car and sustains a serious concussion. Terminated by his employer and dumped by his vaguely leftist bohemian girlfriend, Matthew derives a wicked sense of humor from the weirdness of his own situation, and in the process slowly rediscovers himself and life's deeper meanings.
