The 2015 Toronto International Film Festival is just a month away. TIFF announced that this year's rising star spotlight will be on four up and coming Canadian actors. Those actors are Deragh Campbell, Stephan James, Aliocha Schneider, and Karelle Tremblay.
The four Rising Stars will take part in a series of specialized programming organized by the TIFF Industry Office that includes seminars with international casting directors, media training, one-on-one meetings with filmmakers, as well as a series of unique networking opportunities.
Deragh Campbell is a newcomer on the scene. The Toronto based actress has already made an impressive name for herself as an accomplished writer and director. She is best know for her starring role as a teenage runaway in Matthew Potterfield’s I Used to Be Darker which made The New Yorker’s list of Top 25 Films of 2013. Deragh is set to star opposite Tatiana Maslany in Joey Klein’s The Other Half.
Stephan James is only 21 years old and has made quite the name for himself. The young actor was able to land a role in the Oscar winning film Selma. He has also stared in the hit CBC mini-series The Book of Negroes. Stephan has also landed the starring role in the forthcoming Universal/Focus Features biopic Race, playing Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens. Stephan got his start in professional acting with a role on Degrassi: The Next Generation.
Aliocha Schneider was raised in Quebec but was born in Paris. He got his start in Montreal’s Théâtre du Rideau Vert, where he played the role of Momo in the stage adaptation of La Vie devant soi. Aliocha will be featured in several of the TIFF features including, Closet Monster, which stars Rising Stars alumnus Connor Jessup and Isabella Rossellini, and Guy Édoin’s Ville-Marie, opposite Monica Bellucci.
Karelle Tremblay has been acting since the age of 12. She was born in Montreal and got her start on Radio-Canada’s Le Club des doigts croisés. Since then she has made a name for herself and has been nominated for a Prix Gémeaux for Best Actress in a Web Series for her starring role as Elizabeth in Vrak’s Les Stagiaires. She will be seen at this year’s festival in Les êtres chers, from acclaimed director Anne Émond. ~Greg Chisholm
