16 Coolest Things To Do In Toronto Canada

16 Coolest Things To Do In Toronto, Canada

A month after our Dutch food film, Leyla Kazim of The Cutlery Chronicles hired me again, this time in Canada. The brief, made with Expedia and See Toronto Now, was a stopover guide: 16 things to see, do and eat if you have a few days in Toronto.

We filmed over two to three days in October 2019, moving across the city from one stop to the next. I worked alone, finding the best angle at each place and adapting to the light, while Leyla directed and presented. Back home, I edited and colour graded a long-form film for her YouTube channel and blog.

Leyla credited me by name on both of our long films. You can still watch the Toronto film on her Facebook page.

“He was endlessly flexible about working within constraints nobody had planned for. On top of that, the quality of his videos was excellent.”
