Item: Mizuho, University Student
Description: This is Mizuho. I met her in the summer of 2006, on her summer break hiatus from studying Film at Brock University. We had great conversations while I was a teacher, her teacher to be exact, at my old company NOVA where we met. I remember our first lesson revolved reviewing movies of which recently released and found out that our love for films expanded beyond the "casual viewer", due to the fact that we both knew directors and actors as well as story lines. If I remember correctly, her favorite actor at that time was Cillian Murphy. Nice choice... I wonder why she chose him.Q: Name, Hometown, Current City
