This excellent short doc by Aren Hanson played right before my short Hirsute in a programme of short films at the Vancouver International Film Festival a few years ago and I was always too nervous to give it my proper attention, until now:

Calvin Thomas & Yonah Lewis, the talented team behind Amy George, one of the more inspiring feature debuts at TIFF last year, are raising funds on Kickstarter for a new micro-budget feature that's shooting this March. They have already proven that they can make quality work with limited means in a tight time frame, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see this new feature, Condition of the Heart, at TIFF this fall. Great project to support, even if you can spare just a few dollars! Ask your money how it feels about going to live with them. And the premise sounds fascinating and original:

A.J. will be interviewed on CBC's Here and Now Toronto today at 5:45 pm, along with his co-writing/co-eating team from The Kimchi Diaries. Tune in to find out what the CBC could possibly care to know about our one-hit tumblr!

UPDATE: You can listen to the complete interview here.

A new Wes Anderson film that looks like a pleasing return to form, and perhaps most surprising of all, the title is not Futura!

I'm joining two friends on a culinary adventure over the next year, systematically trying every restaurant in my neighbourhood, Koreatown. Follow along on our blog!

K-Town seems to have given itself a modest 3 out of 5 stars as a neighbourhood this year!

I'm not sure how real this is and I don't care:
