Tiff 19: Part I: Awaiting the plane at Lax to Toronto International Film Festival, September 4–11, 2019Lax by Paul Revere Williamss,FaiaTiff this year, under the new direction of Cameron Bailey and Joana Vicente, felt the same and different at the same time.

Bruce Willis has been set to star in Captive, an action thriller that will begin production in March with Simon Brand directing.
