"It's easy in this moment to preach doom and gloom," but Sam & David Cutler-Kreutz are rewriting that narrative with a more positive outlook on how they can impact the film industry. Convos & Cameos Ep 3 👇 🔗piped.video/V0dG1mhlASs?si=LT9k… #ConvosAndCameos | @nicole__soroka @beingTSJ

I love how naturally this interview evolved into a full on podcast. Give it a listen, I think many of you will particularly appreciate what Blake has to share about film criticism. ▶️piped.video/LtqhAJytjes?si=o3To… 🎧open.spotify.com/episode/3OI… #TIFF50 | @ThisIsForReel @BlakeWRice

HAMNET won the TIFF People's Choice Award, and I think the people got this one right. I mean, we could be looking at this year's Best Picture Oscar winner.
Film #2 that brought me to tears at TIFF, HAMNET is a sensational take on dealing with loss & grief. The story is patient and methotical with an ending that perfectly sticks the landing. Jessie Buckley gives a Best-Of-Fest caliber performance. #TIFF50 | @ThisIsForReel @TIFF_NET

MILE END KICKS continues to prove Chandler Levack's talent as a filmmaker - writing flawed entertainment critics as protagonists is her superpower. Some shortcomings in character development aside, there's a very lived-in story worth experiencing here. #TIFF50 |@ThisIsForReel

I love OBSESSION. I love this movie. So so so so much. I love it more than anything in the whole world. I just really love obsession. I want to be with Obsession for ever and ever and ever. I just really love Obsession. #TIFF50 |@ThisIsForReel @TIFF_NET
NORMAL is a fun time at the movies. Don't expect an intricate plot, deep characters or compelling themes. Go to see wicked kills & watch Bob Odenkirk be a nice guy who can kick ass. And at 90 mins long, it knows how not to overstay its welcome. #TIFF50 | @ThisIsForReel @TIFF_NET
