And since this was something better planning could have helped us to avoid, we are addressing it in our 2015 goals (yep, everything is a learning experience).

Read MoreToronto Korean Film Festival is hiring
If you have read some of my film articles, you might know that I have a huge love for Korean film and also that I sit on the board of directors of the Toronto Korean Film Festival (TKFF). But even if I wasn’t a board member, I’d still be a huge supporter of TKFF – oh wait, I was before I joined their board ^^ – because I want more Canadians exposed to Korean film. Beyond simple exposure (which is...
