As we wrap up our TIFF coverage, I am left smiling at all the amazing experiences we got to share with you! The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the biggest events of the year for so many reasons. Along celebrities, movie lovers and our media colleagues we had the opportunity to celebrate the art of film. Thanks to Audi Canada, we have been presenting you with some of the best behind the scenes moments from these films and events. Next up on the red carpet round up is the post screening event for Our Brand Is Crisis at Montecito in Toronto.
Our Brand Is Crisis brings together an all star cast for a political commentary on true life events. This film will get you thinking about politics; what we see as the public isn’t always what is really happening. Sandra Bullock, who I’ve decided is destined to be my new best friend, takes a more dramatic approach to her traditional role. This film will have you laughing and crying before the credits role. THAT to me is what a TIFF film is all about.
“Our Brand Is Crisis would be cause for cynicism if it weren’t so stubbornly hopeful — and so entertaining. This wry drama, telling the fact-based story of American strategists hired to bolster an unpopular Bolivian presidential candidate, encapsulates the ethical chasms of twenty-first-century electioneering.”
Do yourself a favour and see this film. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed.
Once we had enjoyed the hustle & bustle of the screening, it was time to rub elbows with the cast and crew of the film. Montecito, as we’ve spoken of in past years, is a hot spot for TIFF both for it’s venue capabilities and proximity to the center of #TIFF15 events.
Off to the venue we went with Audi Canada! Here are some of our favourite moments:
