If they don't score a sale, "I'll be sending DVDs out to my family and friends," Alexander jokes.

It's not a joke, especially when Toronto buyers know that Sony-backed "Cadillac Records" has just wrapped, boasting a tonier cast led by Oscar-winner Brody, Beyonce Knowles and Jeffrey Wright. 

The harsh reality: Even if critics and Toronto auds embrace the picture, Alexander and company may need to brush up on the latest Indiewood trend: self-distribution.




The Lightbox will pull a lot of festival activity two miles south from Yorkville, 

known for the tony shops and restaurants 

along Bloor Street, to a resurgent downtown near the Lake Ontario shore. That’s a shift not only for event planners and industry pros doing the fest shuffle but also for hotels and many other players in the $100 million-plus civic spending spree.
