Cadillac Festival Insider takes you inside another important part of TIFF – The Sales & Industry Office which is committed to facilitating relationships between accredited buyers, sales agents and filmmakers with films in the Festival. This is the place where the deals go down.

Fade to Black – The Cadillacs have wrapped their starring role in the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival

Richard Budman — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:46:38 +0000

We have wrapped! And what an amazing TIFF’09 it has been. We put our best shine on and traveled to 21 Gala film premieres at Roy Thomson Hall and hundreds more at other Toronto theatres. We have met wonderful people from the United States, Europe, India, Asia, The Middle East, and Australia. We got numerous movie stars, TIFF helpers, worried publicists, (and one particular tiffinsider) to their screenings and press engagements on time. We even occasionally got that curious “what stars are you riding with?” look from Toronto bystanders. We have been left with the enchanting scents of beautiful actresses and actors – and even the occasional mess of an entourage. Our GPS was kept busy – often racing from red carpet premieres to trendy Toronto hot-spots. And yes, we even found time for an exotic drink or two (non-alcoholic of course, we were driving after all.) And we’ll be back to do it all over again. Perhaps in a slightly different shape, size, or colour next year. See you on roads in 2010!

We’ll be running a few clips where Crouse shares his feelings on TIFF premiering films; Precious, Young Victoria, Whip It, Defendor, Dorian Gray, and more.
