It was party central during TIFF, including for a Toronto-based production company. Revolver Films celebrated its 40th anniversary at Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex. This was also to celebrate those who delivered content over the years for scripted and unscripted storytelling. Revolver Founder Don Allan and partners Luc Frappier and Richard Cureton, chef Susur Lee, Olympic athlete Donovan Bailey, Director X, and Michael Jewison were all present at the event.

If the name of the company sounds even more familiar, it’s because it’s the team behind Bang Bang Baby, an award-winning TIFF film. It was also involved in Swimmer and David Bowie’s Dead Man Walking.
Over 1,000 guests overall had gathered for the Revolver Films’ anniversary party at TIFF to celebrate the best of Canadian filmmaking. The company has produced music videos for several artists like The Tragically Hip, The White Stripes, David Bowie, and more.
