Enchong Dee marked another milestone in his career as he attended the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
On Instagram, the actor shared several snapshots from the prestigious film festival.
"Still trying to absorb that I’m part of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival🥹 Grateful and energized by this experience 🙌🏼," he posted.
Among the photos Enchong shared were moments from the red carpet, including a photo with Cole Sprouse.
"We were in line together at the red carpet… hindi nya alam pinalaki ako ng The Suite Life of Zack and Cody sa Disney Channel😅," he shared.
Enchong is at TIFF to represent the film The Remotes, which had its world premiere at TIFF Lightbox on September 11 (Toronto time).
According to tiff.net, the film "follows a grieving detective who finds himself increasingly ensnared while investigating a case involving a sinister navigation app causing physical and psychological debris."
The Remotes stars Enchong alongside Alchris Galura, Gabby Padilla, and Julia Richards, and is directed by John Torres.
Fans online were quick to congratulate the actor on the career milestone.
"Congrats on being part of the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival, @mr_enchongdee," one fan wrote.
In a 2025 interview with TFC's BRGY, he recalled initially hoping to experience at least one international film festival to deepen his understanding of filmmaking.
Enchong had the opportunity to attend the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 2023 to represent the film Topakk.
Following that milestone, he began participating in a series of international film festivals.
"Tapos nagsunud-sunod siya, dinire-derecho ni Lord," he recounted. "Limang film festivals kaagad 'yung napuntahan ko. Dun ko na-realize na when you create a film, it doesn't stop with the Filipino audience, you have so much opportunities outside."

He said those experiences opened his eyes to the possibilities of creating Filipino films that can reach audiences beyond the country.
"Dun na nagbukas 'yung mata ko na okay I want to be able to create films here and for the audience outside the Philippines. Ganun na 'yung prayer ko, directed na siya sa ganun and then nagkatotoo na naman siya. Okay because I opened myself up to the opportunities, I started manifesting for a lot of films outside. Actually tinweet ko 'yun eh sabi ko I'm manifesting for an international film festival and it happened," he said.
