Cameron Bailey, Toronto International Film Festival

Ahead of the 47th Toronto International Film Festival, CEO Cameron Bailey talks about growing up in the countryside of Barbados, his time at NOW during the heyday of alternative weekly newspapers, writing his first movie review [DIE HARD!], why he initially said ‘NO’ to Piers Handling, TIFF’s focus on being a ‘walkable audience-centric festival,’ being a voting member for the OSCARS, the craziness of BORAT and Sean Penn, social media engagement lessons learned from Harry Styles, and his admiration for Keanu Reeves and Oprah Winfrey!

TORONTO LEGENDS is hosted by Andrew Applebaum.
