Wet in the rush line
Saturday was cool and very, very wet. Diane and I still decided to do the rush line for The Fifth Estate at the Winter Garden theatre which was interesting – I’ll talk more about that in my next Global blog. However, we’re smiling because we got these.
I’ve done the Toronto International Film Festival as accredited media when I was covering an entertainment maternity leave at Sympatico. It was fun and extremely tiring – our team worked for 11 days straight covering films, pressers and the parties. I slept for two days straight after the festival.
This year I decided to do it as a civilian – buy a ticket package, chose my films and line up with the crowd. No press screenings, no media pass, no nothing. Just lining up with the rest of Toronto. I did it with my friend, Diane, who wrote about the experience here.
