Co-director/co-writer/executive producer Sarah Smith discusses Ron's Gone Wrong
“Like every parent, I experienced that awful moment when my kid came home saying, ‘I didn’t
have anyone to play with today,’ Your heart breaks. But now they face the pressures of social media too, making it even harder. We wanted to make a movie about kids’ friendships in the social media age and that universal feeling that every child has that everyone else has got it all sorted except them…Most of us carry that feeling throughout our lives.”
Sara Smith discusses Ron's Gone Wrong
“I want every movie to be a message in a bottle from me to my kid and from other parents to their kids. In a way, some of where Ron comes from are the things that I wanted to say to my daughter sitting
on her bed at night when she was worried about not having friends and you want to say, ‘it will be okay…you will find those friends, and just because you don’t have them now doesn’t mean that it’s not coming.’ And that is what drives the emotion of Ron, really: those things that you want your kid to understand so that they don’t go through all the pain and suffering as they grow up.”
“I remember thinking, we need to make that film for kids because children are so immersed in the online experience and they have no filter. They don’t get a sense that maybe that’s not a reliable voice, or that something else may be going on.”
“The thing that most families argue about these days is screen time. As children get older parents worry about them going out into this the world of social media and the pressure they will feel to become something that they are not. ‘Ron’s Gone Wrong’ is a classic friendship story between a kid who is socially awkward and his new best friend, which, in this case, happens to be a broken robot, and their journey to teach one another about friendship.”
“In some respects, the social media and digital aspect of friendships have been a saving grace during the grind of the pandemic but there are so many unknowns in terms of how it is affecting our children's friendships. It’s just a great thing to explore in the film, so it is about the definition of friendship and how one can understand what real friendship is, as opposed to a digitally simulated friendship. And let’s not forget that Barney and Ron have a tremendous amount of fun together and that was a big part of what we wanted to convey.”
Co-director JP Vine discusses Ron's Gone Wrong
“The world today is fully saturated in technology…it has become a necessity in our lives and people are more and more exposed through that to people and interests that are similar to their own. Our film is really taking a look at what that means for the world of friendship. Ron and Barney are an unlikely pair of buddies, completely different, but through the course of the movie build a powerful bond that becomes incredibly fulfilling for each of them. The film is a celebration of friendship, especially the messy ones! Because Ron has no awareness of the social tech all the other bots are using, he has to build his own version of friendship with Barney. And it’s a ton of fun to watch him do it!”

Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania. In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach. The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery? It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy. When a local man turns up dead on a beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case. Deadloch puts a comedic spin on the crime genre, completely flipping it and challenging the tropes of the genre.

The series features a large ensemble cast led by Kate Box (Fires, Wentworth), Madeleine Sami (The Breaker Upperers), Nina Oyama (Utopia),
I Like Movies VHS Forever Mongrel Media Release date September 9, 2022 (TIFF) SYNOPSIS Toronto writer/director Chandler Levack makes her feature film debut with I Like Movies, a dramedy based on her experience working at a Blockbuster Video in the early 2000s. Socially inept, Lawrence (Isaiah Lehtinen) is a 17-year-old cinephile who gets a job at the Sequels video store in Burlington, Ontario. Anxious about his future (and desire to attend NYU’s Tisch School of Arts), Lawrence begins alienating the most important people in his life – his best friend (Percy Hynes White) and his single mother (Krista Bridges) – all the while developing a complicated friendship with his older female manager (Romina D’Ugo). Sequels is furnished with props from a real Blockbuster, while the store’s branded colour scheme of red and teal reoccurs throughout the film. The film is rife with references to Canada (Carleton, Cronenberg) and cinema (mentioned in almost every sentence that Lawrence utters!).

He would sacrifice all of that by sticking to what he knew was right. Cher He was very shy. I must not be the first person to tell you that. We got him to come to some barbecues.
