Toronto International Film Festival 2010 started off with a bang on Friday September 9th, 2010; setting off the fall festival circuit and networking for the fall season. The festival brings together thousands of industry professionals and brings industry together to a centralized location from critics to producers and everything in between.
This year TIFF launched it's "Filmmaker Lounge" with a complementary happy hour for the industry delegates. Although it is a great idea; it seems that most of the industry remains at the Hyatt where industry head quarters is located. That is where the real business takes place.
The Filmmaker Lounge, remains empty of industry professionals for the moment, but once the P&I screenings release and the industry programs end at 5:00pm, I image the filmmaker lounge will become the place to be. Because despite working for major companies; even the top execs can't resist a free drink or two.
-Keep it Canted.
