NICK ZANO & LAURA VANDERVOORT IN TORONTO FOR "THE UNTITLED SANTA PROJECT"


Nick Zano & Mr. Will-W.
And all the Girls go screaming.  Yes, that's hunky Nick Zano and he's now in Toronto filming an TV Movie known only as ABC Family's The Untitled Santa Project due later this year for the Holidays.  Although details are pretty nil right now on what the Movie is actually about, we know that Zano stars as a character named David Morretti, while his Toronto-based Co-Star Laura Vandervoort stars as Jennifer Walker.  This is one of two ABC Family Holiday TV Movies being filmed in the City right now alongside 12 Dates of Christmas, which stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Amy Smart.

Filming began just yesterday for The Untitled Santa Project in a Residential area and continued today in an Office setting around Eaton Centre.   And a group of Zano's Female Fan Base in Toronto were out in full force showing their support yesterday which touched him enough to Tweet today, "It was great meeting everyone yesterday, thanks for the love Toronto.".  Aww! 

TORONTO PREMIERE OF "PEACH PLUM PEAR" AT FEMALE EYE FILM FESTIVAL


Alanna Masterson & Tyler Blackburn at Toronto Premiere of Peach Pear Plum
The ninth annual Female Eye Film Festival which showcases the work exclusively of female Directors, had one of its Marquee Premieres tonight at Rainbow Cinemas - Market SquarePeach Plum Pear, the directorial debut by Alana Morshead has already been doing the Festival rounds south of the Border, but its Cast made that extra bit of effort to promote it here in Toronto, fielding questions from the audience following its screening.

The Drama which was made for a paltry $80k budget really was a "labour of love" according to one of its stars Mackenzie Phillips, who is already winning acclaim for her performance including a Best Actress Award at the Festival.   Phillips tapped into her Maternal instincts for her role of a Woman named Sharon, with a need to care for and protect, in being unable to have Children of her own.

Alanna Masterson, younger sister of That 70s Show star Danny, revealed that this project actually was a collaboration among friends and that she had floored her Friend of five years, Morshead and Screenwriter Samantha Genovese at her Audition - this her first-ever Feature Film.  There was a gap of one year between Masterson being cast and the Film actually beginning Production.
