Photoshoot with Gary Goldberg...

Casting Factory's very own Diana C. was recently on a photoshoot at Toronto Waterworks on the city's east side, with Gary Goldberg. As you can see, the weather couldn't be any more perfect and some fantastic pictures came out of it. It doesn't hurt to have a model as beautiful as Diana, nor does it hurt to be working with someone like Gary. Congratulations on a job well done!

If you're like me and have shallow pockets, or just happen to be in the Yonge-Dundas area, TIFF is hosting free screenings every day of the festival. There's something for everyone, so it's worth checking out. For music lovers, there are screenings of Live In Concert films--showcasing bands like U2 (Sept 17) and an appearance by Neil Young following a screening of 'The Neil Young Trunk Show' (Sept 14). For horror film buffs, take part in the Toronto Zombie Walk with director George A. Romero; and end the night with a screening of his 'Night of the Living Dead'.
