Red carpets and new films are great indicators of who’s turning Hollywood heads, sure, but there’s no better introduction than their day-to-day snaps. Here, 5 creatives generating buzz at The Toronto International Film Festival right now.
If her lively feed is any indicator, the Arizona-born actress is completely up to the challenge of playing Storm in next year’s X-Men: Apocalypse—a role originally played by her idol, Halle Berry.
We loved her in Trainwreck. TIFF’s critics love her in Room (based on the novel of the same name, she plays a woman, kidnapped and captive). She loves posting unfiltered snaps with friends like Behati Prinsloo and Mike Birbiglia.
Director, Ava DuVernay (she helmed Selma and Middle of Nowhere and is a favorite of the late Roger Ebert) is being honored at TIFF, but her feed is all about hometown pride and family ties.
The Italian-born indie filmmaker turned her own immigration story into Exit/Entrance, but captures the lighter side of life with close-ups of what she’s reading, seeing and wearing.
If you missed him in Ant Man (and before that, Crash and Eastbound and Down), you won’t in Ridley Scott’s The Martian—the biggest movie to premiere at the fest.
