Behind The Red Carpet Trailer | A TIFF Documentary!

Behind The Red Carpet Trailer | A TIFF Documentary!

Last September during TIFF I filmed a documentary called Behind the Red Carpet, directed by Michelle Daides. I was pretty hush about the whole thing but now I can let the cat outta the BAG. The film is finished and the trailer is now ONLINE! My role is the blogger and in the trailer you’ll catch a funny bit about some extensions.

I really can’t wait for the premiere to see what bits made the final cut. Nicholas Cage and Olivia Wilde are in it too btw.

If you didn’t see the trailer for the other doc I was in last year ‘It’s All About Me‘, watch it on YouTube here. It was in few film festivals last year and even won an award!

Hopefully my next film is in Hollywood! A girl’s gotta dream right?!

Speaking | Mark Your iCal – CM1 May, 22nd, at CBC

Photos by ADRIAN FIEBIG

Next month I’m speaking at CM1, Canada’s Community Manager Conference. I was a panelist at the last one and this round I’ll be speaking about ‘Influencing the Influencers’. I’ve travelled the world and worked with some of the worlds biggest brands and done heaps of work as an as ‘influencer’.  It’s been really neat watching the roles of ‘influencer’ and ‘Community Manager’ evolve over the last five years. When I started at MuchMusic/MTV as a ‘Social Media Coordinator’, the role ‘Community Manager’ was almost unheard of. Now, it’s a job you’ll find at almost every agency and client-side brand.

I’ll be sharing my experience and tips for brands and bloggers when it comes to working together. I was recently on CBC in a segment about this very topic (scroll down to March 22, episode).

Follow the conversation for tickets and speaker up dates on Twitter here and take a peek at the other speakers here. I’ll see if I can contest some tickets for you guys to come!

CM1 May 22

TIFF Bell LightBox | The digiPlaySpace IS AWESOME!

TIFF's digiPlaySpace IS AWESOME!

TIFF's digiPlaySpace IS AWESOME!

Last night after dinner I stopped by the TIFF Bell Lightbox to visit the digiPlaySpace. For the first time, TIFF invited grown-ups to get down and geek out. The After Hours event inside digiPlaySpace introduced big kids like to me TIFF’s award-winning interactive exhibition.

Thanks TIFF for the invite. Some of my fav parts below!

The line was pretty long for PaperDude but I’ve tried it before. Look at this dork, haha!

I love playing with Green Screen. I should have done Sesame Street instead of the Ellen Selfie. That’s so overdone!

Big Bird was chillin’ by the DJ booth.

Not sure what was going on here but the people on the floor had a camera on them that was projecting on the wall.

Pong anyone? This was some kind of digital pong/fooseball thing. Looked like fun!

TIFF's digiPlaySpace IS AWESOME!

At the digiPlaySpace, kids (big or small!) can play with emerging creative media technologies and share innovative artistic experiences. On sale now to TIFF Members and school groups. Find out more about tickets and pricing here. Can’t wait to take EmBot here to play around!

I used waterlight painting to paint my name (of course). Don’t mind that the person beside me painted an ‘O’. DOH!

Come and Get It | Sandwiches, Snacks, PayPal!

Come and Get It | Sandwiches, Snacks, PayPal!

If you haven’t been to Come And Get It yet, you’ve gotta check it out. Sean’s friend Rob is an all star bartender there and the food is delicious. We went there for dinner again last night. You know I’m not much of a ‘foodie’ but let me tell ya, totally worth stopping by. It’s right beside Czehoski.

Come and Get It | Sandwiches, Snacks, PayPal!

Two things I think are really awesome about Come And Get it

  1. The menu has 35 combinations of food you can get. Pick your size ie. snack, slider, sandwich, then pick your flavour.
  2. You can pay with PayPal! There are a select group of spots downtown that now have the option to pay for your meal using the PayPal app.

Menu - Come And Get It

The taco flatbread is freaking delicious.

This is a jerk chicken poutine I had on my first visit. Last night I had the coconut shrimp poutine and the friend chicken poutine. They are small so you don’t feel huge after chowing them down.  I never even considered throwing these flavours together but GAHHH THEY ARE AMAZING. It makes a great date spot because the poutine, flatbread, salad etc are great for sharing.

Come and Get It | Sandwiches, Snacks, PayPal!

You know I love technology and innovation. I hope to see more and more places accept PayPal. It’s so easy and hassle free. You just tell your server you are paying with PayPal, they pull you up on the app, you add your tip, and before you know it a receipt is in your hand on your phone.  None of the ‘wave your hand n the air to get the bill’ or ‘let me get the machine’ wait time.

Come and Get It | Sandwiches, Snacks, PayPal!

When you roll through, say ‘HI’ ask for Chandler or Rob who might be behind the bar. Great spot, good food! There is a stellar drink menu that I really need to plan a night for soon. Find them on Twitter/Instagram at comeandgetit416.
