This is our TIFF50 Wrap-Up episode! Join us as we reflect on our first year attending the Toronto International Film Festival as accredited press. We share our thoughts on the films we saw, what it was like navigating the festival from a press perspective, and how the energy of TIFF took over the city in the best way possible.
