Chandler Levack went from working at the Toronto International Film Festival, to premiering her first feature film in the very same spot.

The Canadian movie buff channeled her lifelong passion into a semi-autobiographical film, aptly called I Like Movies. She even got signed to a big American talent agency before the red carpet rolled out.

The filmmaker tells Tom Power about the rollercoaster of the last week and her experiences with film school snobs, video stores and nostalgia.

I Like Movies will be playing in theatres starting March 10th.
