This Month’s Film: To Be Announced
Cuisine: Korean

After a luxurious and well deserved night of R&R that included a room service delivery of Spicy Fried Calamari, Caesar Salad, Broiled Sea Bass and Grilled NY Sirloin Strip, followed by a long soak in the tub and a blissful night’s sleep, an exciting day at the Cinequest Film Festival awaited.

The festival activities included a meeting with Cinequest PR staff member Susie Mun and director Jack He, a young Chinese filmmaker whose award winning film The Road was featured on the Cinequest program. There was an afternoon screening of a fascinating collection of animated short films that included some very creative and innovative works. When the program was over, Cinequest Public Relations Director Jens Hussey was waiting at the Paragon Bar & Restaurant in the Hotel Montgomery, and after a glass of wine and a lively chat with Jens, a long-awaited treat: one of the best sushi experiences ever at Smile Sushi, just down First Street from the Hotel Montgomery, across the street from the Fairmont Hotel. Sushi so good, it would be worth another trip just for an order of their Salmon Sashimi.

A wonderful day from beginning to end…
