Nissin, January 21 - American film director Aaron Woolfolk discussed his experiences as a Japanese English Teaching (JET) program participant and his work on the upcoming movie “Harimaya Bridge” at the Nagoya University of Arts and Sciences.

You'd think the embassy would at least get the name of the JET Program correct.

I hope this turns out to be good and looks like it has potential but unfortunately a lot of these kinds of movies turn into formulaic tug-at-the-heart-strings crap.

Actually, I was thinking that it looks like one thing this guy learned in Japan is how to make bad Japanese melodrama. But I'll reserved judgement till I see it.
