Kristen Wiig is here for Imogene. And she swung by last night's party at the Soho House. "I read the script and that was it," she said, explaining why she did the flick.

Chatty, approachable, funny, low-key -- that's Wiig. "I remember you. We've met before," she announced, recalling an interview done years ago back in Manhattan in her Saturday Night Live days.

"I've been here like five hours. I flew in, got ready really fast, went to the premiere and here I am. I've been to four festivals and Toronto is a car ride away," said Wiig,who's from nearby New York.

Her key to surviving the festival? "I was about to say, what I'm holding," she laughed, nodding to her cocktail.

Speaking of SNL, she just left the show. Does she miss it yet? "Everyone's off in the summer so you don't feel the gut-wrenching pain I'm starting to feel now. I was there last week. It hasn't started yet." -- DF
