Our Media Lounge was positively buzzing today with stars. Jacob Tremblay, eight (pictured at left), who stars as Jack in Room alongside Brie Larson and William H. Macy, had a great time in our suite. First he checked out the treats provided by Aroma Espresso Bar, but ever the professional, declined a snack before his interview. Once inside the room, he entertained interviewer Marriska Fernandes with his great knock knock jokes, then checked out the swag bag he was given, courtesy of Delsey Paris.
South African-born actor Sharlto Copley, who stars as Jimmy in Hardcore and is well known for his roles District 9 and Chappie, dropped by to chat with interviewer Nicole Stamp. He not only had a relaxing time on our couch, but chatted with enthusiastic Black directors Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi from Belgium, who were next in line for an interview.
We were also honored to host Oscar-nominated Jean-Marc Vallée, director of TIFF's opening gala Demolition, who talked about directing Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Cooper in the movie, which is a must-see.
Connor Jessup who stars in Closet Monster, chatted not only about his role in the film but his short film Boy, which is also screening at TIFF. Closet Monster director Stephen Dunn also came by to talk about what it's like to have his first feature film debut at TIFF.
Torontonian Chloe Rose, who stars as 17-year old teenager Dora in Hellions, dropped by to talk about the film, which was directed by acclaimed Canadian director Bruce McDonald, who joined her in the interview room. She revealed that she had to audition for the role, even though she had previously been a babysitter in real life for McDonald.
We had a visit from sci-fi thriller Hardcore director Ilya Naishuller and producer Timur Bekambetov. Also dropping by were director Mir-Jean Bou Chaaya and actor Alain Saadeh from Very Big Shot, actress Ine Wilmann of Homesick and German Kral, director of Our Last Tango rounded out another fantastic day here in the Tribute Media Lounge at TIFF 2015. ~Sharon Salsberg
