Jacobs is promoting the queer cheerleading feature filmThe film has sold out its three performances during the festival.
Jacobs attributes the success of the film in part to the fact that many celebrities are prevented from promoting larger projects amid ongoing actor and writer strikes in Hollywood. The Mohawk actor says she supports the strikes but is happy to be in Toronto to promote a project she helped produce and also stars in.
