#INTERVIEW: BAZ LUHRMANN ON “THE GREAT GATSBY”
I arrive extremely early for my One-on-One with Baz Luhrmann, sitting at the Hospitality Suite with plenty of time to spare.

#TIFF12: 8 PUBLICISTS DISH THEIR SECRETS TO SURVIVING THE FESTIVAL
The Toronto International Film Festival - make no mistake - is first and foremost a celebration of Cinema and Celebrity, but beyond the glare of flashing Cameras, the thick of the high-decibel screams of Fans and 8x10s being thrust on Clipboards, are the Publicists who keep it all afloat.
