TIFF Digest (Part 1): From 'Dicks: The Musical' to 'Origin' to 'Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero'

Issue No. 5: 'Dicks' gives us gay culture; Ava DuVernay's 'Origin' has a festival glow up; Lil Nas X's docu debuts; Coleman Domingo soars in 'Sing Sing' and more Toronto Int'l Film Festival discourse!

After many films, events, parties, reconnecting with industry folks and connecting with new ones as well as a dope dinner at the Michelin star restaurant Quetzal, I have returned from the Toronto International Film Festival with many a tale to tell.

With a dual strike hovering over the industry, the fest was fairly tame. It was still bustlin’, but the energy was different. Nonetheless, it was refreshing to see the talent there that was able to support their projects (they had waivers so they were allowed so don’t come for them!)
