Pinewood Toronto at TIFF 2018

Key events included the Taika Waitiki Masterclass. This prolific director, writer, actor, and comedian’s work first came into the spotlight with his Oscar-nominated short Two Cars, One Night. Now part of Marvel Cinematic Universe, he directed Thor: Ragnarok in 2017 bringing his independent spirit and self-deprecating Kiwi wit. Moderated by TIFF’s Artistic Director, Cameron Bailey, Taika generously shared his life in front of and behind the camera.

Roma – foley and sound mix facilitated at Pinewood.
