The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the world's most prestigious celebrations of cinema and television. For up and coming Canadian directors, a TIFF premiere means increased exposure, possible critical acclaim, and potential distribution deals - all of which could propel their careers forward. But what does international success mean to Canadian filmmakers? And how can we continue to foster generations of talent here at home?

Our guests in this episode, Directors Atom Egoyan and Kelly Fyffe-Marshall, speak with host Annie Bradley about the role TIFF played in their career progression amidst a changing Canadian film industry, the importance of artistic passion and community, and the future Canadian filmmakers face in this digital age.
