For example, our mole at Elevation Pictures reports that their A-list talent lounge in Richmond St.W. has a fleet of KIA Telluride SUVs to shuttle movie stars and filmmakers around. Now you know.
The beautiful Elevation Talent Lounge treats celebrities to glamorous services like urban decay makeup and hairstyling by Mela & Kera during the festival.
Famous people can stock up on Nespresso and David’s Tea Festival fuel there, or Greenhouse Juices for a health drink.
Mandy’s Salads and eatable popcorn are always available (do movie stars eat?) and there’s a fully stocked bar.

We apologize, but this video could not be loaded.
This is where Canadian wines shine—Saintly, Jackson-Triggs and Inniskillin—not to mention the superb spirits of Spirit of York, located right here in Toronto’s Distillery District.
Peroni Beer, Monkey Shoulder Whiskey, and Island Diaz Spiced Rum are also available.
Lounge guests will go home with a gift—perhaps some jewelry from bluboho Canada, or a sauna, ice bath, or other wellness experience from transformative spa Othership.
And who is allowed to visit this Talent Lounge? Brendan Fraser of The Whale, Woody Harrelson (Triangle of Sadness), Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern, stars of The Son and Anna Kendrick of Alice Darling are just a few of the actors who have been involved in Elevation’s films on TIFF.
So you never know.

THE BASK-IT-STYLE GIFT LOUNGE IS FINALLY BACK!
Each year at TIFF, Bask-It-Style by Jessica Glover and GLO Communications organizes lavish gift bags for prominent visitors.
The bags contain practical survival gifts for TIFF visitors as well as luxury items, and Matt Damon, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Garner, and dozens of other A-listers at TIFF have a Bask-It-style goodie in their hand bag attached to theirs Breast.
What’s special about Bask-It-Style is that they host a media day in their gift suite every year.
After a two-year hiatus caused by COVID, this year’s 12th Annual Media Day (by invitation only) is taking place on September 7th at the Fairmont Royal York – which happens to be the case where TIFF’s forthcoming Fourth Annual Tribute Awards Gala will be held.

Many reporters like to head to the Fairmont Royal York any day of the year to sip martinis in the Library Bar, but that’s another story.
Everything about these swag bags — including the bags themselves, which are sponsored by Browns Shoes and Matt & Nat — is desirable, and we’re not just saying that because of the REN vodka they contain.
These are garments made of brushed French terry from clothing maker Kit and Ace, sparkling water maker from SodaStream, plant-based skincare products from Soo’AE and hair and makeup covets from L’Oreal, including a very glamorous lipstick.
There are beautiful mugs and teas from David’s Tea, Pascoe’s Vitapas B Complex and their Pascoflair anti-anxiety passion flower extract, and even snacks from the Toronto Popcorn Company.
Great free stuff: just another celebrity perk.
