September 22, 2011 by Racheal

30 Seconds with…Eva Link, Allie McDonald and Natalie Lisinska

September 20, 2011 by Racheal

Eva Link was one of this year's TIFF Rising Stars, so I guess I expected a lot from her when I asked if she had advice for young performers.  "Just keep at it.  Honestly? Like, if you love it enough?  Then it'll happen.  I think a lot of it, like, has to do with luck.  I … [Read more...]

September 19, 2011 by Racheal

CBC celebs abound, so I knew it was just a matter of time until one of the stars from Little Mosque on the Prairie showed up, and Zaib Shaikh didn't let me down. You're going into your last season, what happens next? "Life after Little Mosque?  What does that stand for?  … [Read more...]

30 Seconds with…Heather Hiscox

September 17, 2011 by Racheal

"I was bound for law school but I thought, what a fun summer job." That's how Heather Hiscox explains how she ended up as one of the most beloved members of the media.    "I was a disc jockey at CFOS in Owen Sound.  $4.50/hour and all the records you could eat, as we used to say … [Read more...]

30 Seconds with Anne-Marie Mediwake

September 16, 2011 by Racheal

Being on a red carpet is always a bit frenetic, especially at TIFF.  Cameras are snapping, flashes are flying and handlers are ushering the VIPs in and out of the "step and repeat" faster than a Wyoming cattle call. So what do you ask when you have less than 30 seconds?  The default is to … [Read more...]
