TIFF 2019: Nespresso Coffee With Creators With Dakota Johnson and Jason Segel

16 September, 2019 Nelia


A very intimate affair, the Nespresso Coffee With Creators chat was one of my personal highlights of the festival. The event started bright and early on a Saturday morning, but thankfully, Nespresso took great care of us, with plenty of delicious java on offer. Jason Segel, who was the first cast member to arrive, made a beeline for the coffee area, introduced himself to the Nespresso baristas, and requested a “medium coffee with a splash of cream”. As a fan of Segel’s work ever since Freaks and Geeks, I was delighted to see how friendly and personable the actor was with everyone he interacted with, introducing himself with a smile, appearing relaxed and in good spirits.

The morning’s conversation was held in support of the world premiere of Gabriela Cowperthwaite-directed film The Friend, starring Dakota Johnson and Jason Segel, based on a true story about a husband dealing with his wife’s terminal cancer, and the couple’s best friend who moves into the family’s home to help out. The director and the stars were joined by Matthew Teague, the real-life husband whose story the film was based on, screenwriter Brad Ingelsby, and producer Michael Pruss. From the challenges of playing a “real” person, to the fun ways the stars got to shake off the difficult subject matter after a day of shooting, the conversation proved to be both insightful and entertaining, making the time fly by. And while I didn’t catch the film during the festival, it’s definitely on my list now.

It’s always a pleasure and a privilege, to watch the cast and crew share intimate insights about their work, and this year Nespresso (the official coffee sponsor of TIFF) and the Coffee With Creators panel series focused on supporting local, up-and-coming filmmakers, as well as established talent like Dakota Johnson and Jason Segel. If you’re curious, you can watch the chat on Deadline’s website, and if you’d like to read the heartbreaking 2015 Esquire article the film was based on, you can read it here.

TIFF 2019: Endings, Beginnings After Party with HUGO BOSS

11 September, 2019 Nelia


While my fave thing to do during TIFF is watching as many movies as I can squeeze into my schedule, going to celeb-studded film after parties is a close second. This past Sunday, I got a chance to do both! After watching the latest Drake Doremus film Endings, Beginnings starring Shailene Woodley, Jamie Dornan, and Sebastian Stan, my friend Sharon and I attended the film’s after party hosted by HUGO BOSS at downtown’s Montecito restaurant. The film, about a woman torn between two very different men was right up my alley – in the infamous words of Stefan – it had EVERYTHING: a complex female protagonist, steamy romance, gorgeous scenery, drool-worthy wardrobe, and of course, two of the hottest leading men in the industry. So just imagine our excitement when we found ourselves feet away from these men (and Shailene) later at the HUGO BOSS party, trying (and failing) to keep our cool.

After a round of pinball, a couple of ginger beers, quick hellos to friends and acquaintances, and what felt like an eternity of getting up the courage to chat up the stars in attendance, we inched our way closer to Sebastian Stan until we were standing back-to-back with the Winter Soldier himself. Another eternity later, a glass of red wine in his hand, Sebastian was grilling us on our thoughts about the movie, admitting that after several TIFFs he still hasn’t really seen Toronto properly, and being very tight-lipped about his upcoming MCU show The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, revealing only that the story is going to be “complex and incredible” (can’t wait!). Stan was understandably jet-lagged after his morning flight from London, but that didn’t stop him from enjoying the party, and being very generous with his time. As I shared on Instagram, meeting your fave celebs isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be, but I walked away from our quick interaction with Sebastian a true stan.

Meanwhile, Jamie Dornan, just behind Sebastian, was chatting with Soho House Toronto’s Markus Anderson and publicist Evelyn Karamanos, keeping to his corner of the VIP, and Shailene Woodley, having taken off her oversized denim jacket, was all smiles nearby, swaying to the music, and taking photos with delighted attendees. Drake Doremus, Lindsay Sloane, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Shamier Anderson were also working the room, everyone in great spirits. And that’s the thing about this beautiful cast…they all seemed to genuinely like each other, with Dornan professing his adoration of Stan’s character in the post-film Q&A, telling the giddy audience that while watching the film, he “fell deeply, madly in love with Sebastian Stan”. Same, Jamie, same.
