Now that Randall Park has made his directorial debut with the recently-released romance-drama, “Shortcomings”, the actor is already thinking about his next project behind the camera.

While chatting with ET Canada’s Morgan Hoffman, Park said he’s “for sure going to direct another one eventually. “It’s just a matter of, you know, once the strike is over, figuring out what that is and whatever it be, it has to be something that I’m passionate about,” he explained, “because, you know, that passion for [‘Shortcomings’] definitely kept me fighting through those difficult times and kept me focused.
