Dark Slope Studios has opened on Pharmacy just south of Eglinton East. I think that there may be a few other studios out that way.

A good podcast by Bill Brioux talking with a former Corus executive on how the industry is changing with a focus on the recent events of Rogers poaching rights to HGTV and Food etc.

Something different; the U.S. version of 'Top Chef' will film its next series entirely in Canada.

Toronto will definitely be a player, however, where the show normally sticks to one city/area until the finale, I'm under the impression the show will actually tour the country a bit; federal dollars in play subsidizing this of course, the argument will be tourism. (backdrop vistas, plus culinary tourism).
‘Top Chef’ Heads to Canada for Season 22
Here's something to cheer aboot: Bravo's next season of "Top Chef" will be set in Canada.

A piece in The Hollywood Report interviews TIFF honcho Cameron Bailey.
The news in the piece is that TIFF has secured 17M to launch a 'market', in conjunction with TIFF starting in 2026. By a market, I mean a formal set-up for the buying and selling of films and their rights.
The idea is to building Canadian film, TIFF's profile and to foster tourism. Should TIFF achieve its objectives, they would increase the number of industry players who come to Toronto in the Festival season from 5,000 today to 12,000.

Loving that Denis Villeneuve is the hottest director in the world right now and much of the money for his films is actually spent in Montreal/Toronto. So was surprised when Enemy popped up on Netflix as I hadn’t heard of it! So many Toronto scenes!

I think I saw Enemy either at TIFF or maybe at the Varsity theatre. I don't recall being overly impressed but I enjoyed seeing Toronto (and Mississauga) on the big screen.

An article has mentioned that Cinespace is about to start 3 new soundstages at 8 Unwin but I can’t find any information on

That, is this:

I don't think any additional zoning is required at this point, but I could be wrong on that.
No building permits have been applied for as yet.

Slightly off topic but I recently watched ‘Station 11’ on Gem and loved it! The main hall of the OSC was used for a lot of scenes. And the lead has gone on to a really great career.
