\"HarimayaPressConf\"JET alum Aaron Woolfolk<\/strong>\u2018<\/a>s film The Harimaya Bridge<\/strong><\/a>,<\/em> starring starring Ben Guillory<\/strong>, Saki Takaoka<\/strong>, Misa Shimizu<\/strong>, and Danny Glover<\/strong>, <\/em>is making its New York debut on Sunday December 6<\/strong> (with Q&A and cocktail reception to follow) and Sunday December 13<\/strong> as part of the African Diaspora Film Festival<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 (See the JetWit post about the upcoming event here for details and ticket info<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The film had a nationwide theatrical release in Japan beginning in June, and Aaron was involved in a five-week promotional tour in Japan<\/a> for the film.\u00a0 What is it like for a former JET to go on a five-week promotional tour in Japan?\u00a0 Well, Aaron captured much of it in photographs available on Facebook<\/a> along with informative and entertaining captions.\u00a0 (FYI, you don’t need to have an account to view the pictures.)<\/p>\n

Here’s the link:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/album.php?aid=124235&id=833564815&l=9d23bf0eb9<\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s Aaron’s intro commentary on the photos along with a couple samples of what you’ll see:<\/p>\n

Five weeks in Japan in May and June of 2009, traveling all around the country doing promotion in the run-up to the June 13th nationwide opening of “The Harimaya Bridge<\/strong>.” Most days were spent doing loads of media interviews and promotional appearances. This here is just a small sampling, as I wasn’t able to come anywhere close to capturing everything with a camera. It was hectic and exhausting…but talking to the media and connecting with audiences only reaffirmed my desire to live my life telling stories via film, television and theater. :-)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
