#TIFF23: MR. WILL’S OFFICIAL 2023 TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL PARTNERS

While we’re completely in support of Actors making their voices heard during this SAG-AFTRA strike, we can’t help but miss feeling some of the anticipation and electricity that we feel normally at this time of year. But does that mean we’re still going all out TIFF ’23? You bet!

The Team – Amanda Gilmore, David Baldwin, George Kozera, Justin Waldman and Nicholas Porteous are all thrilled for the Festival and if anything, the current state of things allow us to have an even deeper relationship with the films at the Festival, with less of the distractions we normally would have – especially in the earlier part of the Festival. Our Team share their Top Five picks at TIFF ’23 here with you in case you need ideas what to see.

We are so grateful to share our official partnerships for TIFF ’23:

CP24 – Southwestern Ontario’s choice for the latest breaking news, CP24 proudly boasts a viewrship of 3.7 million per week in the province. This marks my 14th year collaborating with them as a subject matter expert during the Festival. Can’t wait to see you on-air as we discuss what we’re most excited about, sightings and how we will be navigating TIFF ’23.

If you’re looking to catch us, we will be on CP24 in the 12 o’clock hour September 13th and on CP24 Breakfast on September 14th to start!

STARBUCKS CANADA – It’s PSL Season and the iconic autumnal beverage returns! This year saw the launch of two new seasonal beverages – Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte and Iced Apple Crisp Oat Shaken Espresso – plus the return of the fan-favourite Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato.  The PSL will always be synonymous with cold theatres in the morning, barely staying awake during my screenings and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Also a new Starbucks location has just lauched at King x John, right in time for TIFFmas! Perfect timing.

ACURA CANADA – We are so delighted to be driving the 2023 Acura TLX A SPEC, continuing a longstanding partnership we’ve had with Acura Canada over the years. This luxury Sports Sedan is sleek and geared for performance with a potent 355-HP and 354 lb.-ft of torque 3.0-litre Turbo V6 engine. The car is protected by state of the art AcuraWatch™. We’ll be getting off to screenings and red carpets in this amazing ride!

H&M CANADA – We adore H&M and are thankful for their longtime support. We can’t wait to show-off some amazing Fall/Winter 2023 pieces from their collection in our TV appearances and throughout the Festival.

CABANO’S CHEESEBURGERS – Hands down our favourite spot in the City to get a burger, there are multiple locations around town to cater to you whether Trinity Bellwoods works best or near Yorkville is more your speed. Not only are their Cheeseburgers and Chicken Burgers (all hormone-free) are next-level, wait till you try their wings and incredible array of sauces. They now have Ice Cream too!

ARTERRA WINES – With 140 years of experience as a leading producer and marketer of globally-recognized Canadian and international wines, this is our first year partnering with Arterra Wins and we’re thrilled about it! They distribute so many of our faves including Kim Crawford, Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi, Inniskillin, Jackson-Triggs and more!

HAPPY NATURAL PRODUCTS – Sold only at the finest wellness retailers like Well.ca and Whole Foods, we’re thrilled to support our friends once again this year. Whether it be premium facial rollers, gua sha, shower steamers, sanitizer, scalpal massagers and more, Happy Natural Products are re-inventing self-care and wellness with their outstanding products.

Of course we know you’re pumped and we want you to be excited about our biggest supporters too! We’ve put together a TIFF ’23 Survival Pack Giveaway:

-$25 Starbucks Canada Gift Card (don’t worry there will be many up for grabs during TIFF if you don’t win the Survival Pack!)
