ReelWorld is a fantastic film festival that I’ve been attending for a few years. I recently saw a limited preview of the “1999” film and was very impressed by the story of gang violence in the east end, acting (who are all apparently debutant actors), and the directing and cinematography. It’s very much a Toronto story that Torontonians can easily relate to. Catch it at ReelWorld on Friday at 5:00 PM or Sunday at 2:30 PM if you get a chance!
I attended the opening night of the Reelworld Film Festival on April 7th! Despite the lack of air circulation in the room! You can feel the enthusiam, energy, and most importantly 10 year history of a remarkable industry was proven that night! Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary ReelWorld Film Festival!
It was a fabulous night, “Off World” was an amazing film with breath taking photography! I felt I was back home!
Kudos to all you you!
Congratulations again on your success, wishing you many more years!
