Rather than creating a traditional tourism ad, Destination Toronto wanted to show Americans the city through the eyes of creatives who love it. You Gotta See What We See engages Director X to share his vision for how he sees Toronto as a city within a city. Collaborating with Mustafa, a profound prose was penned to accompany his vision for a split-screen POV of the city. The film is a love letter that demonstrates how the stories of Torontonians are all interconnected.
