I Saw The Light

Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.

She didn’t particularly enjoy this film, saying “Perhaps it’s fitting, in some way, to pay tribute to a prolific artist who died before his 30th birthday with a film filled with wasted potential.”

Arrow’s Stephen Amell, WWE’s Stardust Do Good Deed

Stephen Amell vs. Stardust

Stephen Amell vs. Stardust

When Arrow television star Stephen Amell fought WWE’s Stardust at the pro wrestling promotion’s marquee Summerslam event there was a winner that wasn’t in the ring — a hospice called Emily’s House.

The pair created and sold a t-shirt that raised more than $200,000 for the house, in part to support some family friends of ours, the Muirheads, who had to spend some unfortunate time at Emily’s House.

To find out more about Emily’s House and why Amell and Stardust went out of their way to help it read my full story about it for Samaritan Mag.

Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.

She has a particular warning about the film James White, saying, “a viewer’s enjoyment of the film is likely to be directly related to their tolerance for flailing and spoiled 20-somethings.”
