Name: Beth B.
City: Toronto, Canada


Beth was born and raised in Toronto. By day she works as a television and film editor and by night she makes documentary films. Naturally, she is very connected to the local film and television scene.


Beyond filmmaking, Beth also throws parties around Toronto with her sister – a visual artist. They find interesting venues for their parties and invite friends’ bands and local DJs to play. Beth also has a passion for eating great food and likes to explore the incredible local food scene.


Beth is queer and has a wide variety friends. “My partner and I are not just locked into the gay scene and have friends who are as diverse as the parties that we like to check out. We like to bring our friends together when we go out”. Her music tastes focus on the newest of the indie dance acts.
