In his memoir The Drop Box, Ivie chronicles his experiences upon learning about Pastor Lee's mission to rescue abandoned infants in Seoul through a remarkable "drop box." Ivie and his friends travel to Korea to document this incredible story.
With humor and vulnerability, Ivie captures the uncertainties faced by so many young creatives seeking their purpose. Though headed for filmmaking fame and fortune, Ivie finds himself drawn to tell Pastor Lee's story instead.
Full of cinematic references and lyrical prose, The Drop Box explores the search for meaning through Ivie's eyes. As a lover of film and a gifted storyteller, Ivie's perspective is engaging and unique.
Part coming-of-age memoir, part inspirational narrative, Ivie shows that compassion and creativity can go hand in hand.
