ET Canada’s Carlos Bustamante caught up with Amrit Kaur on the TIFF red carpet, where she was on hand for the world premiere of her new film “The Queen of My Dreams”.

So, I was actually in a blackout before I shot the film because I was like, I have a lot of life work to do in four weeks,” she continued.
“Because I had just finished shooting something else. So I’m very excited. But I also, for myself, know I’m in the beginning of my craft and I have so much further
