About Fresh Scents by Terri
Fresh Scents / Terri creates oils, lotions, body washes and bath & shower gels in many wonderful fragrances for women and two fragrances for men. Says founder Terri Weitzman, “ I started blending my own fragrances about four years ago because I was so tired of smelling like everyone else and the "big" perfume companies weren’t coming up with any unique scents. They all seemed to be copying each other. Well, I guess I hit upon a niche that needed to be filled because I was, and am, constantly stopped by both women and men asking what I am wearing and where could they buy it. After explaining that I blended my own fragrances I thought if this many people are interested in my fragrances then maybe it is a sign that I should start my own business. So I did…My business started out by word of mouth, expanding to the web and into some wonderful boutiques and stores around the world.”
Celebrity clientele include Gwen Stefani, Heather Locklear, Lisa Rinna, Jillian Barberie, Tori Spelling, Gail O’Grady, Amanda Bynes, Donna D’Errico, Rachel Hunter, and Jennifer Blanc. Fresh Scents by Terri was recently named an "IT" Indie Fragrance Company by Women’s Wear Daily - Beauty Biz Magazine.
About Reel World Film Festival
Actress and entrepreneur Tonya Lee Williams, best known for her 15-year starring role on The Young and The Restless, founded RWFF in 2001 in direct response to a lack of positive diverse stories on screen and sustainable opportunities for emerging talent of color trying to break into the Canadian entertainment industry.
Every year in April, cineastes and filmmakers flock to RWFF for five days of screenings of the best features, documentaries, animations, shorts, music videos from Canadian and international filmmakers at the homes of the festival - Rainbow Cinemas and Paramount Toronto cinemas in the heart of downtown Toronto. The celebration of diverse cinema kicks off with the Opening Night Screening and Gala attended by film stars, government officials, leading corporate executives and international media.
In the past, attendees have mixed and mingled with the likes of Eriq La Salle, Robert Townsend, South Asian super-star Shabana Azmi, Vivica A. Fox, Little X, and many more at some of Toronto’s most happening and exclusive hot spots. Previous opening night films include BEARWALKER from Canada’s renowned Aboriginal filmmaker Shirley Cheechoo, and KAMATAKI, a Canadian-Japanese production from Quebec’s Claude Gagnon.
