Reviews of films/TV shows/trailers
Hello all! It's been quite a whirlwind week for me, what with the TCFF gala on Thursday and also the MN filmmakers interviews on Saturday. But it was a good kind of busy and definitely excited for the 2016 TCFF lineup this year! One of the filmmakers I interviewed was Remy Auberjonois, whose film Blood …

I have to admit I'm a bit of a sucker for romantic dramas. Not rom-coms, but a genuine heart-wrenching love story that'll get me to cry my eyes out. Well, this film certainly fits into that category.
