I just got a new Canon T1i last week and have been going nuts with the HD video recording. But alas, I don't have my Macbook anymore and won't be able to afford one for a couple more months. Until then, I need to somehow edit the footage because I'm getting seriously antsy.

I'm a full-time film editor and occasional composer in Vancouver, about to move to Toronto. My main work has been TV movies and short films. Because I don't have a job lined up there, I'll need to network. I also enjoy collaborating, and would love to make some new acquaintances -- I don't know many people in TO. Can anyone think of resources, groups, or organizations in Toronto that might help me achieve these goals?
