No Sleep Til Toronto

Milo at Digital Content serves up a comprehensive list in TIFF ‘09 PRE-FEST REPORT! suggesting very little in the coming days, ergo:

“Starting as early as next week, I will be attending the 2009 Toronto Internation Film Festival (Tiff). I will spend 9 straight days watching some of the coolest, weirdest, funniest, saddest, craziest, most critically-acclaimed films of the year. The best part is that I will document the whole adventure on Digital Kontent. I’ve decided to give all of you the inside scoop from beginning to end. Before the festival starts, I wanted to share with you, my tenative schedule for Tiff ‘09.”

It’s T.O.’s Festival!
