TIFF premiere a smashing success!

Sunglasses at night, practising not being me!
In an earlier post, I mentioned one of the f ilms in which I had a principal role was having its North American premiere, an event which occurred on September 11, 2012 in Lightbox 3 at 10 p.m.

The first two photos are of me - and the comment about sunglasses a night, pretending to be someone else, is just my idea of a joke. I'm a long way from being a 'movie star' who gets stopped on the street!




Yours truly, sans shades
I think all of us who participated in the making of "Tower" can echo the sentiments of one of the leads, who was interveiwed on stage, that to "get from an audition at a coffee shop to the stage of one of the world's premiere film festivals one year later" is quite a ride!

The "Tower" of the film title...?

Guests at the party
I'm enclosing some photos of the event. Prior to the screening, we all enjoyed a cocktail party on the roof deck of a building not far from TIFF Lightbox and then we went to the Lightbox itself for the screening, which was well attended.

As for the film, the producers, MDFF, are hoping for a general release some time this fall. To make certain you learn when, it may be best to go directly to the source and keep in touch with them; dan@mdff.ca is the contact.
