The Stars of TIFF as You’ve Never Seen Them Before!

Every September, the Toronto International Film Festival transforms Canada’s largest city into a blur of premieres, parties, press lines, and amateur paparazzi. This year brought not one but two Charli XCX films, the latest Knives Out, and the early coronation of Hamnet as an Oscar frontrunner. But while all that played out, we sent photographer Myles Pettengill racing through downtown Toronto to catch the festival’s stars away from the frenzy—in those intimate, in-between moments when no one else was watching but us.
