‘LAST POSSIBLE SECOND’: B.C. FILMMAKER RACING TO PRESERVE REMAINING WWII VETERANS’ STORIES
Clifford Brunt had never been one to speak about the four years he spent in the Air Force, and his grandson had never been one to pry. It wasn’t until Eric Brunt took a photo of his grandfather for a photography course at UBC, and Brunt’s classmates and professor asked him for details, that Brunt realized his opportunity for learning about his grandfather’s life was closing.

TORONTO'S FILM, TV INDUSTRY CAN PLUG INTO GREEN ENERGY THROUGH CITY'S POWER GRID
The city announced it will give
production crews access to Toronto's power grid at two highly-utilized film locations — Ashbridges Bay Park and Sir Casimir Gzowski Park. The city said the plan will see production companies use its electricity grid to power things like crew trailers and offices instead of burning fossil fuels.

THE TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL IS OUT TO PROVE ITS WORTH TO THE INTERNATIONAL FILM INDUSTRY
For their mask-free, post-COVID return, the Cannes and Venice film festivals played to their strengths: doubling down on red carpet glamour and old-world elegance. Downtown Toronto has, shall we say, somewhat less
to offer in terms of Hollywood glitz or old-world class. The power of the Toronto International Film Festival, its secret weapon, is the audience.

MARCUS SCRIBNER GREW UP ONSCREEN—HERE'S HOW HIS APPROACH TO ACTING HAS CHANGED
Marcus Scribner was just 14 when he filmed the pilot of “Black-ish,” ABC’s hit show that wrapped its final season earlier this year. The actor came of age onscreen alongside his
character, Andre Johnson Jr., the affable, eccentric son of Anthony Anderson’s Dre. Scribner was ready to close the book on the role, but it turns out there was more of his story to tell.
