After creating a live-action sequel to Disney’s Recess, the sky was the limit for Korean-Canadian director Jerome Yoo. His debut feature, Mongrels, is a multi-layered character study of a grief-stricken Korean family as they adjust to life in 1990s rural Canada.
ILT connected with Jerome at VIFF 2024 where he talked about connecting with Korean culture, going off grid to find his lead actor, and managing a pack of well-trained dogs.
