Thoughts from your host…
It’s been a few minutes since I first met a filmgoer here in Toronto. It used to be a monthly thing when the social scene was a little more constant. Likewise when Twitter wasn’t such a dumpster fire.
Those were the days my friends!
However, glimmers of the before times still flicker around town. They come in the form of old friends, friends of friends, or occasionally doing to humble old school “Hi, I’m Ryan. You seem cool, wanna be friends?”
The interesting part about setting up this episode is how Vanya told me that when I reached out to her she (rightfully) did her own vetting by looking at who we both knew and what I had to say for myself in the various channels. I wonder how many of us think about that? About what sort of personality we put out into the world. What happens when you string your tweets together? What do you choose to take photos of and publish in your Insta? If a person was looking at these channels without you knowing – who might they think you are?
Something to think about – and in my case something to be proud of since it brought a great new guest and friend into my orbit.
