shit cove star Emily Hampshire brings her latest movie, the end of sexDirected by Sean Garrity, at the Toronto Film Festival.
And he shared his thoughts on the festival and the city. THR.
What I miss most about not being on TIFF during the pandemic is…
The thrill of seeing a movie on the big screen and knowing it’s nominated for an Oscar in six months. Seeing it with the public is essential.
What I don’t miss is TIFF…
Long tails! Nobody likes queues. somewhere
My “only in Toronto” moment is…
I see that iconic pink bear monument every time I book The Soho Hotel & Residence for a movie or TV shoot. This is my second home.
What I miss most about Toronto as a city is…
I can walk where I need to go. I loved living next door to the Rabba 24-hour store. Oh, and an extra-large Tim Hortons coffee with two creams.
The biggest challenge for work festivals in the Covid era is…
Selfies, hugs and how to give a warm but unflappable “Hello!”
The only place I must visit while in Toronto is… Boyah ice cream! They have that cookie monster flavor that is just…drooling. You can even get a giant ice cream cake to go to the next level.
The place you avoid during the festival is…
Yonge and Dundas Square. Wait, I always avoid that intersection. Too much chaos!
My favorite Canadian director/talent is (and why)…
My best friend and ex-accomplice from Toronto, Jacob Tierney, because he a) cast me in two of his movies. (Trotsky s good neighbors) and b) we are working together on a new program! This is a new version Maria Hartman, Maria HartmanAnd he’s the showrunner.
The most Canadian thing about Toronto is… As the locals pronounce it, where the second T is muted: “TO-RON-O”.
The only thing I don’t travel with (apart from my phone) is…
I travel with everything because I travel all the time. I am a professional packer. I have a system!
Do you mean without? In this case, my plush Yeti son, Stumps. Fly with hand luggage!
In Toronto you should always…
Have a PRESTO card to be able to travel by tram or metro at will.
In Toronto you should never…
Pronounce: “TO-RON-TO”.
