Celebrating the Creative Forces Shaping the Future of Entertainment
On Oct 2, 2026, Melissa Chung Productions presents Hollywood North: The People Behind the Stories, an exclusive post-TIFF industry gathering celebrating the professionals who bring stories to life — from producers and casting directors to actors, directors, executives, and the next generation of creative talent.
Held shortly after the Toronto International Film Festival, the evening brings together the industry’s leading voices and emerging creators for meaningful connection, conversation, and collaboration. It is a celebration of the artists, decision-makers, and innovators who discover talent, champion stories, and shape the future of film and television.
Inspired by Melissa Chung's vision of having a world-class production hub that supports filmmakers, storytellers, and creative talent, the event recognizes the people behind the projects, the collaborators and leaders who continue to elevate Canada’s entertainment industry on a global stage.
