From Hyungjik Lee (BFA 13) “I have been just taking a nice, long break at home with my parents and my old dog for like a year. I traveled a little bit after coming back from US, such as Mongolia, HongKong, and Saipan. I finally moved up to Seoul last week and I look forward to get some set experience here.” From Ed Worthy: “I hope all is well. I'm proud to announce that 2 more festivals have been added to the list for my short film Witness Monitor. It will screen at the North Hollywood Cinefest at the Laemmle Noho 7 Theaters in North Hollywood. The festival takes places April 10th - 16th and my film will screen on April 13th. I would love to get in touch with anybody living in LA now while I'm there. I should be out for the whole week so it will be great to get in touch while I feel the city out before I move there. Witness Monitor will also screen at the Tupelo Film Festival in Tupelo, Mississippi. The festival takes place April 16th - 18th.

Just me playing around with a camera, really. No money, but lots of heart. I edited the film in my spare time. This week, it’s on YouTube. It’s called “a woman IN LOVE”. The probable stages of love through a woman’s POV. If you have three-and-a-half minutes to spare, would love it if you could check it out. The kind gesture of sharing it with your friends means a world of support and positivity.” a woman IN LOVE (on YouTube)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G37nGw0uies “The Florida Attractions Association is seeking an intern to assist in the design and production of videos, including several for our Annual Conference & Trade Show, which will be held June 7-10, 2015, in Ft.
