This year's Toronto International Film Festival (running from September 5 - 24) has a fantastic lineup of films on the slate. 

Here's a few that we're particularly excited about, and not just because these are GreenSlate client projects. 

But we do indeed have a particular soft spot in our green(slate) hearts for our client productions, and we're always thrilled to highlight them any chance we get.
