CFC BBQ

Norman Jewison's annual Canadian Film Centre BBQ is always one of my favourite TIFF parties. A gathering in celebration of film in Canada is rare and much deserved, the guests are all fabulous & in the biz with lots of news to share, and the casual vibe of the daytime BBQ is a nice break from all the razzle & dazzle of the nighttime events. I sported my paint-splattered dress by NADA designs for the occasion.

I bumped into producer Justin Levine of Stardust Pictures, and actors David Phillips & Jefferson Brown - whom I all worked with on Shark City. It was a joyous reunion! Justin was in from LA and has been working on several new projects, notably a Kate Bosworth film coming soon.

Here we are, horsing around after downing some Licks hamburgers.

I had the great honour to speak with Slawko Klymkiw about the importance of the Canadian Film Centre and shook hands with Academy award winning writer and director Paul Haggis to congratulate him on the present and forward-looking success of the CFC.
