Grace Glowicki
First Time With Honours
Acting is her full-time gig, but Toronto’s Grace Glowicki’s side hustles as a writer and a director have folks doing a triple take. Her multi-faceted oeuvre has given her great standing this year: She was awarded a Special Jury Prize for her outstanding performance in a drama called Her Friend Adam and has been chosen as one of TIFF’s coveted rising stars—a first-time honour that was held by the likes of fellow Canadians Tatiana Manslay and Emily Van Camp. Part of the honour of being a rising star means being introduced to established directors and attending a handful of TIFF’s biggest premieres and parties.
