What can we learn from RuPaul’s Drag Race?

According to Dr. Tommy Mayberry, Director, Centre for Teaching Excellence & Innovation at Toronto Film School, quite a lot.

This Pride Month, we're excited to share this feature on Mayberry's forthcoming book, RuPedagogies of Realness 2: New Essays on Teaching, Learning and Resisting with RuPaul’s Drag Race. Co-edited with Lindsay Bryde, the collection brings together academics, drag artists, and fans to explore what drag can teach us about identity, resistance, belonging, and education.

At a time when both drag and teaching are facing renewed scrutiny, these essays offer timely insights into the power of q***r knowledge, creativity, and community. Read full article in the link in bio!

🌈 Happy Pride Month.

The connections you make in film school can shape your career long after graduation.

When Toronto Film School alumni and Film Production Program Director Emilija Davidovic began staffing a series of Kleenex social commercials tied to the Olympic Games, she turned to a network she knew well: the TFS community.

The result? A set stacked with TFS talent. The full cast – Alejandro C. Campomanes, Frank Anthony McMahan, Brooklyn Evans, Shereen Mala, and Subo Ranatunga – were all TFS students or graduates. And behind the scenes, production designer Natali Trivuncic, gaffer Romanesh Reynoso, and key production assistant Nick Gregory were also TFS alumni.

A production featuring Toronto Film School students and graduates both in front of and behind the camera. From cast members to crew, the project became a real-world example of how industry relationships, shared experiences, and creative collaboration can open doors long after graduation.

For many involved, the experience was about more than landing a commercial for a globally recognized brand. It was about reconnecting with fellow alumni, building new professional relationships, and seeing the power of the TFS network in action.

At Toronto Film School, learning extends beyond the classroom. The connections students build with peers, faculty, and alumni often become the foundation for future collaborations and career opportunities.

Read more about how a community of TFS creatives came together to bring this campaign to life.

From a first draft in 2021 to a red carpet premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Writing alum Adam G. Levine spent five years bringing Neglected to life through 15 rewrites, years of casting, long days on set, and countless moments of believing in the story even before the world could see it.

Along the way, Toronto Film School became part of that journey. While developing the film, Adam sharpened his craft in the Writing for Film & Television program, refining the storytelling skills that helped bring Neglected to the big screen.

Now, after celebrating a sold-out world premiere in Los Angeles alongside stars like Josh Duhamel and Dylan Sprouse, Adam is proof that persistence, passion, and continuing to learn can take your story further than you ever imagined.
