Trumbo
Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.
After watching Trumbo, the story of blacklisted commie writer Dalton Trumbo, she said “it’s a shame that the film about his life often feels less like a worthy tribute than something that would have benefited from his substantial rewriting skills.”

‘Portal To Hell’ featuring Roddy Piper
The late Roddy Piper was a true legend, so when the 2015 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival screened one of his last films, Portal To Hell, Sarah made a point of talking to writer Matt Watts and director Vivieno Caldinelli about the Rowdy one.
It turns out that Watts and Caldinelli were huge marks for Piper and they couldn’t say enough good things about the man behind Piper’s Pit.

True Detective
The folks at the Toronto International Film Festival have decided to include television shows in the festival this year under the banner Primetime.
TV, apparently, has gotten so good (in the good parts, anyway) that it deserves to be treated with the same respect as film.
Sarah wrote about this phenomenon in a new column for Consequence Of Sound.

The Dead Lands
One of the most fascinating films Sarah discovered at the Toronto International Film Festival this year was The Dead Lands, a movie about the Maori martial art Mau Rakau.
