Appleby Bermuda will be sponsoring a cocktail reception at the Hot Docs Festival taking place 25 April to 5 May in Toronto.

The Bermuda inspired ‘Dark & Stormy’ reception featuring Bermuda’s national drink will take place on Tuesday 30 April at the Muskoka Brewery Hub.

Hot Docs is North America’s largest documentary film festival and will feature over 200 films from Canada and around the world to Toronto audiences of more than 200,000. The Festival’s mission is to facilitate production, financing and distribution opportunities for documentary makers.

“Appleby’s attendance at the Festival and sponsorship of the ‘Dark & Stormy’ reception aligns with our desire to support our clients and other Bermudian filmmakers who are showcasing their work at the Festival, while also promoting Bermuda’s technology and digital expertise,” he said.
