My whirlwind 48 hours in Toronto was too short by about a week. What an incredible festival! It was my first time at TIFF, but whether I ever have another film there or not, it certainly won't be my last. The enthusiasm, the energy and the excitement of being with so many people from around the world who share a love and appreciation for the art form created an inspiring vibe. Next time, I want to spend a week at TIFF just going to movies.

Looking back on the week since we screened The U.S. vs. John Lennon at Toronto, there is no question that the TIFF premiere at the Ryerson will remain a major highlight of the entire project.

Since leaving Toronto, we've heard from so many people who were either at the Ryerson or the two subsequent screenings. Clearly, the love of film is alive and thriving in the city where, all those years ago, John headlined one of the last concerts of his life during his and Yoko's "Year of Peace."

Thank you again, Toronto, for giving our "piece on peace" a chance.
