Film Making Toronto

After The Credits - The Odyssey

For our inaugural gathering, we'll be discussing Christopher Nolan's latest film, The Odyssey. The idea is simple: watch the film before the meetup, then join us for a relaxed evening of conversation, debate, and drinks. We'll chat about what we loved, what we didn't, our favourite scenes, performances, themes, and whatever else the film inspires. Whether you're a lifelong cinephile, an occasional moviegoer, or someone simply looking to meet new people in Toronto, you're very welcome. There are no presentations, no homework, and no pressure to have the "right" opinion. The best discussions usually come from people seeing the same film in completely different ways. Discussion topics might include: 🎬 Favourite moments and performances 🎬 Themes and interpretations 🎬 Christopher Nolan's direction 🎬 How it compares to his previous films 🎬 Your rating and overall thoughts Most attendees will be meeting for the first time, so solo attendees are especially welcome. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for a conversation about one of the year's most anticipated films. See you there.

Come Alive Nomads

I’d like to get a group going for Toronto-based content creators who enjoy the nomadic lifestyle and, more generally, want to get out there and actually experience life. 🌎 We’ll be based in Toronto, but the idea is to share travel aspirations, stories, adventures, and what we’re creating along the way. You don’t need to be a huge creator (I definitely wasn’t always one!) — just someone who enjoys making content, exploring new places, and wants to connect with other people doing the same. I’ve been creating content for years and have built a channel with 100K+ followers, but honestly, I’m still figuring things out too. My editing skills are very, very basic 😂 and I’m always looking for ways to make better stuff and have more interesting experiences to share. I think there are probably a lot of us out there who want to travel more, create more, meet interesting people, and build a life that feels a little less… mundane. So let’s get together and see what happens! I’m thinking a casual meetup this Sunday in Toronto — grab a coffee/drink, talk travel, content, ideas, future trips, and maybe find some people to collaborate or adventure with. **RSVP/message me if you’re interested so I have an idea of numbers.** Cheers. Time to Come Alive. ✈️🌎

TFS Presents an Atomic Anxiety Double Feature

Two landmarks in science fiction cinema, and both visions of collapse through a cosmic and human lens. Whether it’s a small town being invaded by aliens or a London newsroom watching Earth unravel itself, together they blend high quality spectacle with realism brilliantly. *H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds* (1953) and *The Day the Earth Caught Fire* (1961) are still as smart and relevant today as they were when they were released, using the sci-fi genre to reflect on ideas of war, power, survival, and existence. This is the perfect double feature to watch on the big screen with a crowd! Purchase Tickets Here: [https://paradiseonbloor.com/purchase/534883/](https://paradiseonbloor.com/purchase/534883/)

🚶‍♂️Private Guided Walking Tour New Art Trail on the New Toronto Island + Food

**Note: I have arranged for a private guided tour of both East and West art trails**. On **Saturday August 8th**, **take a Private Guided Walking Tour of the New Lassonde Art Trail (LAT), that opened late June with its final art installation completed on July 25th. LAT is part of the new Biidaasige Park, situated on the extraordinary site of a new island in the Toronto harbour archipelago with the TTC stop and parking across the street**. This is the largest park to open in Toronto in a generation. LAT is a series of 15 interconnected public art sites spanning over 4 km of paths that weave through 60 acres of new parkland along Toronto’s waterfront. LAT believes public art enhances wellbeing, guides respectful dialogue and opens our eyes to how we steward the environment. Tours are subject to cancellation in the event of adverse weather. So if the forecast calls for rain, I will make a call 3 hours prior to the event start time. LAT is at the heart of a massive $1.4 billion project that rerouted the mouth of the Don River and built flood protection for downtown Toronto. This feat of civil and bioengineering created a new island in the city harbour called Ookwemin Minising. The project established a new river valley with functional wetlands and 60 acres of publicly accessible open space along the riverbanks and inner harbour. It cleaned and restored soils contaminated from past industrialization, and naturally accommodated the effects of flooding and erosion. In the process it re-established aquatic and terrestrial habitat where Indigenous species of plants and animals can thrive. **Prepare for the walk:** * Walking shoes * Hat * Sunglasses * Water * **SIGNING-UP** * **RSVP Yes, and confirm joining after for food/drinks** * A reminder will be sent the day before with my cell and reminder details where to meet and when. RSVPs close 1 day prior or until full. All cancellations will result in a No Show. 🗓️ **Event Details** 📍 **Meet me: 3:45pm** **to the right side, outside of The Old Fire Hall 30 at 51 Commissioners St. Then we will join the rest of the tour group.** 🚶‍♂️ **Tour Starts:** **4pm** ⏱️ **Tour Length:** 40 mins **After:** Head over to a local restaurant for food and drinks 🎟️ **Cost:** $5 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:** [Click here to join](#) 🎥 **A Quick Word About Walking Etiquette** Please: * Turn the sound off on your phone * Don’t talk while the tour guide is speaking * Be respectful of others Repeat offenders will be removed from the group. 👥 **About the Group** This event is open to everyone — single, not single, shy, social, new in town or a long-time local. We're a group for people who love movies *and* making real connections. We also do walks, hikes, restaurants, arts & culture — come be part of it! 🎬 **Group** **Organized by:** Matthew 📧 Questions?

🎬Movie - Documentary: Everyone Is Lying to You for Money!

🎬 Let’s Go to the Movies (and Actually Talk… or Not) Whether you're a film nerd, popcorn enthusiast, or just looking for a chill night out with interesting people — this one's for you. We’re heading out to see a movie together, then grabbing food or drinks after. If the film's great (or terrible), we’ll probably talk about it forever. If it’s just okay, we’ll talk about it for 10 minutes and move on to everything else — books, dating apps, weird dreams, how Toronto keeps getting more expensive, etc. The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and not too serious. No film degree needed. No icebreakers. No pressure to “perform.” Just come enjoy the film, connect with some thoughtful people, and see where the night goes Click here to watch trailer! 🎞️ **Movie Title + Trailer:** [\[Click here to watch trailer!\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEXxAOFqv4U) 📖 **📖 Plot Summary:** In ***Everyone Is Lying to You for Money***, actor and author Ben McKenzie turns investigator, pulling back the curtain on the cryptocurrency industry and the culture of hype, misinformation, and speculation that fueled its explosive rise. What began as a promise of financial freedom has evolved into a volatile ecosystem rife with fraud and reckless gambling, carrying with it devastating consequences for everyday people. Through firsthand reporting, expert interviews, and a clear-eyed examination of major collapses and scandals, the film traces how crypto became one of the most aggressively marketed financial products of the modern era—and how warning signs were ignored, dismissed, or deliberately obscured. As fortunes are made and lost, *Everyone Is Lying to You for Money* asks a sobering question: who benefits from the chaos, and who is left to clean up the damage? Accessible, urgent, and often darkly ironic, the film is both a cautionary tale and a call for accountability—cutting through the noise to expose a system built on speculation, influence, and belief rather than truth. **PLEASE NOTE: LAST TIME THIS SCREENING WAS SOLD OUT.

🌿🌳 SUMMER EVENING WALK: GUS HARRIS TRAIL 🌳🌿

# 🌿🌳 SUMMER EVENING WALK: GUS HARRIS TRAIL 🌳🌿 **A Hidden Ravine, Easy Walking & Great Conversation** Sometimes the best parts of Toronto are the ones most people drive right past. Join us for a relaxed summer evening walk along the Gus Harris Trail, one of Toronto's hidden ravine trails that follows the peaceful Taylor-Massey Creek through Scarborough and East York. This isn't a challenging hike—it's an easy, mostly flat walk that's perfect for anyone looking to enjoy nature, get some fresh air, and spend an evening with great people. The real purpose of the walk isn't simply reaching the end of the trail. It's creating the space to slow down, have conversations, meet new people, and enjoy a few hours away from the busyness of everyday life. Along the way we'll follow the creek, enjoy the shade of the ravine, and discover one of Toronto's quieter green spaces that many people never even realize exists. ✨ **Fun Fact:** Taylor-Massey Creek is named after two prominent Toronto families. The Taylor family owned the famous Don Valley Brick Works, now known as Evergreen Brick Works—one of Toronto's most successful environmental revitalization projects. 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) *** ## 🚶‍♂️ What We'll Do We'll spend about two hours enjoying an easy walk along the trail, taking our time, chatting, and getting to know one another. This is a social walk—not a race. There are very few hills, making it a comfortable walk for most people with a reasonable level of fitness. We'll finish back where we started before the park closes for the evening. *** ## ☀️ Weather & Expectations This walk will happen rain or shine unless severe weather makes it unsafe. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. The focus isn't covering as much ground as possible. The focus is spending a relaxing evening outdoors with good company. *** ## 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** Outside Victoria Park Subway Station by Victoria Park road. 🫎 I'll be wearing my Moose Hat. ⏰ **Meetup Time:** **6:00 PM** I will only wait **5 minutes.** Early is on time.
