Bound for Glory: Pilot

We're rooting for you, Will

An award-winning pilot about an actor’s struggle to find cultural and professional identity in modern-day Hollywood.

As part of our continued exploration of American Asian identity in mainstream Hollywood, JoySauce presents Bound for Glory, a dramatic series from writer, actor, and producer Michael Naizu. Searching for his place in the world, guided by self belief, Will (Naizu) is determined to be an actor in Hollywood. But after countless auditions and no jobs, he starts to lose faith in himself. With the love and encouragement from his childhood best friend, Jayson (Derik Young), everything and anything seems possible. In this award-winning pilot from first time filmmaker John Wilcox, we get a front-row seat to a story about finding cultural and professional identity in modern-day Hollywood.
