CA Model and Talent Management
680 Yonge St., Suite 301, Toronto, Ontario
http://www.catalent.ca/

Get star-studded snapshots with today’s Groupon to CA Model and Talent Management, located on Yonge Street. Choose between two options:

– For $59, you get a one-hour professional studio photo shoot (a $645 value).
– For $99, you get a two-hour professional studio photo shoot, including professional makeup application (a $945 value).

CA Model and Talent’s team of professional photographers cultivates career head shots for local characters involved in television, film, print media, and more. For one-hour shoots, camera courters can be photographed alone or with up to two fetching stunt doubles (after that, each additional person is $25 extra), allowing for one midsession wardrobe change to vary shots from elegant to casual and beyond. Mesmerizing mugs receive 100 high-resolution digital images and a 9″x12″ glossy print for portfolios, framing, or gifting to lonely postmen.

Along with an extra wardrobe change and a one-hour professional makeup application, the two-hour shoot grants customers with an additional 50 images and an additional glossy print. Two-hour shoots can include up to four people (after that, each additional person is $50 extra), ideal for edging out smug competition during this year’s neighborhood family-portrait smack down. The window-lined photo studio illuminates exposed brick and modern décor with an abundance of natural light as faces are framed for fetching industry head shots, driver’s licence redemption, or casual portraits.

Cafe Mirage Grill & Lounge combines the elegance of upscale dining with the comfort of a casual café, delighting guests with sleek décor and meals to reflect each dining ideal. A menu of chic cuisine and informal foodstuffs is packed with choices to please varying appetites or argumentative dual heads. Entrées include the Thai striploin 10-ounce steak, which marinates western-raised beef in Thai sesame sauce, lending the cut a multicultural education to pass down to its steamed seasonal vegetables and baked potato or Yukon gold garlic mashed potatoes ($27). No-frills nibblers can get down to business with a shepherd’s burger ($13), a handmade, goat-cheese stuffed patty with roasted red peppers and sautéed onions, a toasted bun hard hat, and a tool box of side salad or french fries. Wash down the delightful dishes with a glass of Bellini ($6), a fusion of sparking wine and peach purée, or a non-alcoholic fruitstravaganza ($6), a melding of three separate fruits into a refreshing drink to quench thirsts and vie for a quirky Food Network sitcom.

Cafe Mirage houses their hunger-calming meals in trendy, upscale settings, treating patrons and plates alike with such creature comforts as black tables and seating, painted recreations of classic artwork, and large windows in the Eglinton Avenue location, allowing for pleasant sunlit meals and assuaging boiled eggs in need of a beachy glow. While all of the menu items are covered with today’s Groupon, at least one food item must be purchased during the visit.

Raindance
255 Huron Street, Toronto, Ontario
http://www.raindance.org/site/saturday-film-school-toronto

Today’s Groupon: for $78, you get a one-day introductory filmmaking course (a $281.37 value including HST) at Raindance’s Saturday Film School at the University of Toronto. Choose between two dates:

– Saturday, March 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
– Sunday, March 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A day-long practical filmmaking course led by Raindance Film Festival founder Elliot Grove breaks the daunting cinema-creation process into digestible lectures, with separate talks on screenplay writing, production, directing, and breaking into the industry. Before committing the fancy-dancing and slow-punching scenes of your cinemagination to celluloid, it’s necessary to populate them with needy characters and filter them through an unpopular document known as a screenplay.

In the first 90-minute lecture, Elliot Grove will explain how to create coherent roles and arrange plot holes into a looping tunnel that critics will never escape. A talk full of nitty-gritty production tips follows, as Grove details the hard work of creating a budget, lighting scenes cheaply, shooting locations before they can call the police, and choosing a camera.

After a lunch break, director-producer Sean McConville will expound on the principles of direction, illustrating rules of camera placement and demonstrating the award- and money-based sign language used to communicate with actors. In a final one-hour session, Grove will explain how to craft CVs, negotiate pay, and make connections in the film industry. After the talk, participants meet in a nearby bar to play paper hockey with business cards and shoot guerilla-style footage for thrillers about drinking beer. Burgeoning film facilitators will also walk home with a 20-page handout packed with budget templates, a script-format guide, CV templates, and collectible gaffer trading cards.

Bombay Palace lays out a flavourful bounty of Northern Indian cuisine made with fresh and healthy ingredients. The menu reflects the diverse culinary stylings of the Indian subcontinent, from the succulent chicken tikka masala ($14.95) washed down with a brazen mug of masala tea ($2.95) to the seductive siren song of the fish madras ($16.95) guiding lost palates toward a pool of coconut curry sauce. In addition to meaty temptations, Bombay Palace serves up a number of vegetarian dishes, such as creamy saag paneer ($10.95), chopped spinach with cheese, or tangy Bombay aloo ($9.95), fresh potatoes marinated in a fenugreek-infused tomato sauce. The diverse wine list initiates Dionysian revelry and heartfelt discussions of about the legality of trying opossums in kangaroo court.
