Lots of love and wonderful events and films.

Animal rights and welfare is still a new concept in Korea and I am so very proud and excited to be the first westerner invited to the this brand new festival for animals. We had an amazing screening of How I Became an Elephant, Earthlings, Blackfish, Free Willy and 36 other animal films. The Q&A lasted over 1 hour and our "Animals In Entertainment" panel with fellow filmmaker, animal activist, and local animal attorney was a three-hour intellectual, rational, and enlightening dialog for everyone... myself included.

Thanks for the love and support, Korea. You captured my heart and I will support your causes any way I can. And thank you for pulling together and freeing the illegally captured dolphins from Jiju park. A fine example of people pulling together for greater good and the rights of wild animals.
