Hot Docs Gathering 2023
Hot Docs International Documentary Film Festival celebrated its 30th anniversary this year (insert confetti cannon). We joined the festivities with our first joint mixer with the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival at their HQ at 401 Richmond in downtown Toronto. Guests included Hot Docs delegates and industry leaders representing broadcasters, funders, production companies and other festivals.
