Bryen puts the spotlight on a few films that are part of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) which takes over our city for the next couple of weeks. We begin with a film that is currently in production, and chosen to be part of TIFF’s Industry Programming, called “Tempest Storm: Burlesque Queen” (Dir: Nimisha Mukerji and Kaitlyn Regehr). We then chat with Jasmine Mazafarri about her debut short feature called “Firecrackers”, screening as part of the Student Film Showcase, focused around two small town teenagers. Next we’ll hear about the homoerotic short “Nefandus”, directed by Carlos Motta, and “The Dog” directed by Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren, about the life of the late John Wojtowicz, which was the real-life inspiration for the classic Al Pacino film "Dog Day Afternoon".
