THE MOVIE MOGULS OF TOMORROW
Saint John, NB - "It'll be easy… the kids are brilliant”, she said as she gazed imploringly. She, being a summer camp teacher and actress, I being a 19-year veteran of the film and television production industries. The mission?

They’ll be headed to a city south of Seoul, South Korea for an intensive, 10-day learning experience in film & video production, on someone else’s dime.
