Spring must be near, because we’re already wading through the wave of micro-festivals that always takes over Toronto when the snow melts.

This week’s NOW finds me tackling the Female Eye Film Festival and the Toronto Japanese Short Film Festival, with plenty more to come — there’s Cinefranco next week, Images the week after that, and Hot Docs looming at the end of April. Oh, and Sprockets and the Toronto Jewish Film Festival, too.

It’s exhausting being me right now.
