Recently, I had the chance to have a conversation with Andrew Alvarez who plays Chris Rodriguez in the new Percy Jackson Series! As someone who grew up with these books, getting to watch the new series so cool, and getting…
Everyone who knows me well knows that almost everything I do is a reference to film and television. My decision to study excessively in high school and go to U of T? Rory Gilmore. My decision to live on campus…
Hey! My name is Avneet and I will be one of your bloggers at Life@UofT this year. One interesting fact about me is that I am not very good at writing general introductions. I prefer to introduce myself through discussing…
When faced with someone showing symptoms of depression and/or suicidal behaviour, only the person who recognizes these symptoms and this behaviour will realize the person requires help.
I learned this lesson when I sat at Innis Town Hall’s theatre to watch one of the Asian Reel Film Festival’s films, In Her Place.

In Her Place delved into the unfortunate reasons and dire consequences of being unware of the symptoms of depression and suicidal behaviour.

Your MoveU team was there, directing people prior to the start of the film.
In one of my many writers block moments this summer I was scrolling the #UofT hashtag on twitter in search of some inspiration. Hidden between messages about course selection and Orientation week was a post by Hart House. I was…
So reading week is upon us and I am buried in course readings. I had planned to buckle down and start reading a few days ago, but alas I procrastinated and started to late. Realizing that I would have to…
So, last Monday at around 10 a.m. after a very late night and a very early morning, my restless pursuit of coffee through the Bahen Centre was met with this: YES. It was like MY DREAMS HAD COME TRUE: my very own…
Last week I gave you readers a challenge when I checked out the Hart House Film Challenge. If making a video in one weekend seems like too much of a challenge for you and you preferred watching the talents of…
I have always wanted to film a documentary. It's just one of those things that I would love to cross off my bucket list one day. I've since realized that films take time, skills, resources, editing, and sometimes even a…
