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!”
