With October, and my birthday, around the corner I found myself scrolling through my phone recently and realized that this recent season of all things Toronto International Film Festival was my favourite by far. From fabulous red carpets and screenings, to intimate VIP events like the one celebrating The Glenrothan that I attended as a special guest of Moët Hennessy, I wanted to share some of my favourite moments with you all.
Riding in style all over the city using my new favourite ride share app – Hopp Canada – I attended some incredible events with some incredible people and I will always cherish those memories!
Taking place at Covivium Dinning Community, the restaurant hosted an intimate gathering post screening of The Glenrothan.
“After 35 years in the United States, Donal (Cumming) returns to his family-owned whisky distillery in the Scottish Highlands. When he left, his dear mother had died and, on the very day of her funeral, he and his brother Sandy (Cox) wound up in a violent exchange with their father. All those years away provided Donal with the chance to become the version of himself that his chaotic family would never allow, but the wounds from that terrible time have never fully healed. Now, with the survival of their treasured family business on the line, Donal hopes to make amends with Sandy — and to find some desperately needed inner peace — before it’s too late.”

Here are some of my favourite photos from the night alongside the who’s who of Toronto and the film industry.
