Really proud of the film slate we've pulled together for this year's #RWMFEST. It's a true pleasure to work with @cineparlour @VictorJStiff and Jaene Castrillon each year to explore cinema. If you're in Toronto, catch at least one screening - tickets are pay what you can!

It's that time of year again! In the lead up to #TIFF I contributed to @TorontoStar's annual Chasing the Buzz poll. It's an essential read before delving into @TIFF_NET's massive film slate.
