Have been in Toronto all week for the Toronto International Film Festival. Taken a lot of photos but these few I’m going to share with you first for Saturday Snapshot Sept. 14, for they are what Ripple Effects is all about: Books and Films.
Saw this sign in a major bookstore beside a TIFF screening venue:
The movie is in the book.
Indeed, many of this year’s TIFF selections are based on literary sources.
From biographies to biopics:
