Toronto Arrival

September 8, 2010 By Jonathan McNeal Leave a Comment

Hello!

After one slight delay, I made it to Toronto and have begun to map out my 1st day – which will start bright and early tomorrow. I plan to screen 3 or 4 films – barring no problems with my check-in (TIFF has rearranged everything geographically this year…so there will be a new learning curve).

I wanted to at least write something today because I more than likely won’t be able to write my first “reviews” until later tomorrow evening.

Check out the Toronto International Film Festival website at www.tiff.net. And below is a trailer for a film that we’ll more than likely play at THE NEON…which I’ll be seeing in the next couple days.

Please check back in soon.

About Jonathan McNeal

Jonathan McNeal, a graduate of Wright State's Motion Picture Production program, has been managing THE NEON in downtown Dayton since the Fall of 2001. Having grown up in a small town in northeast Ohio, the idea of an independent movie theater that showed hard-to-find films seemed like something that could only be found in a major metropolis. Upon moving to Dayton in the early 1990's, finding THE NEON was a was like finding a new home.
McNeal's film work includes the documentary of Dayton's beloved drag troupe - THE RUBI GIRLS. The doc premiered in San Francisco in 2003 and played across the country and as far away as Australia. The film continues to be played at night clubs and on college campuses as an educational and outreach tool.
McNeal himself has been a part of the performance troupe since 1997.
