Thank you God, and @actratoronto for the nomination. I’m the beneficiary of an amazing cast and crew whose light helps mine shine brighter. Playing Akai has been a great honour, and joy, telling a story that connects to something deeply human.

To my fellow nominees, congratulations.

To my peers, thank you. Cause it ain’t lost on me that y’all don’t play about the boy. I feel lifted up, and celebrated by you all daily. This is for us.

One love ✌🏿

Big shouts, love and respect to Melissa Chung and @samibrahim40 as they continue to create safe spaces for creatives in the City of Toronto and beyond!

Super geeked to see Mel’s latest brainchild come to life via the Ibrahim Family Foundation - 
“The TIFF Melissa Chung Studio” @tiff_net!

“A fully equipped, flexible production hub located off the Gallery space on the main floor of the Lightbox, with windows facing south onto King St. W. Outfitted by Atriani Interiors and equipped by Sunbelt Rentals Film & TV, it was designed to support a wide range of creative uses: from podcast recordings and filmed interviews, to a photography studio, social media, premium digital series, and long-form video production. Built with versatility in mind, The TIFF Melissa Chung Studio enhances TIFF’s capacity to collaborate with filmmakers, talent, and industry partners while also serving as a premium venue rental space for external clients seeking a state-of-the-art production facility right in the heart of the entertainment district. Over the years, TIFF’s content platforms have featured conversations and appearances from some of the most influential voices in film and culture.

This investment recognizes and supports the growing importance of digital storytelling, highlighting emerging Canadian creators, in-depth conversations with filmmakers, and building a year-round bridge between audiences and the films they love.”

This incredible new space follows in Melissa and Sam’s work in the vein of their @misc_prod which Executive Produces and supports important stories.

+ the @nova_star_awards, an awards show and platform which recognize outstanding young performers in the areas of Film, Television, Entertainment and Commercials - which under Melissa’s leadership, Nova Star has continued to expand in meaningful ways including Mel’s educational workshop series which seeks to empower both youth AND their families as they enter the performing arts industries.

Another win for Scarborough. Another win for Toronto. Another win for the creative community and the creative economy in the city and worldwide. @misc_prod đŸ’«đŸ«¶đŸ
