Well, it seems like everyone loves us today. Both the National Post and the Toronto Star ran nice, long, features on the history and development of Midnight Madness after 20 years with TIFF.
Both articles entertain for different reasons, so be sure to give both a look.
The Post works like more of a history of the program and comes from lots of perspectives, giving tonnes of perspectives on all the elements that make our midnights mad. Everything from joint smoking and fireworks outside the Bloor Theatre and Quentin Tarantino staking out all the madness screenings while showing Reservoir Dogs to recent events like Nacho Cerda finding himself in a triple homicide and the lap dance that Nick Nolte got one night at a Bovine Sex Club Madness party that ended with that infamous and beautiful mug shot.
The Post article also featured some exclusive artwork from Kagan McLeod, who has been producing artwork on the spot throughout the entire fest. We hope to see more of his work soon, but thank him kindly for access to this wonderful rendering of tonight's man of the evening, George A. Romero!
The Star focuses a bit more on our current programmer, so for a good look at The Madness of King Colin, give'r a read. It's got some especially good stories from some passing-out incidents last year.
