Have you ever been scammed? So much of our world is full of fake news, fake people, and fake things. But who would have ever thought that the largest fake ID empire in North America could be invented by two teenage girls in West Vancouver, British Columbia? 
That’s the theme of the show Fakes - an American-Canadian television comedy/drama series, which premiered in 2022 on CBC Gem in Canada and Netflix internationally.
The series stars Emilija Baranac and Jennifer Tong as Zoe and Rebecca and premiered September 1, 2022.
Each episode is portrayed from the perspective of one of the two young women, making use of the unreliable narrator technique as their respective viewpoints sometimes contradict each other. Richard Harmon, who plays the supporting character Tryst, highlighted this aspect of the show as a fun creative opportunity for him as an actor, because it allowed him to play more than one variation on the character, based on the differing views of his character in each of the main characters' perspectives, instead of having to maintain a single consistent characterization.
The cast also includes Eric Bempong, Wern Lee, Matreya Scarrwener, Lauren K. Robek, Dylan Sloane, Mya Lowe, Ryan Mah, Emily Leung, Cindy Piper, Devon Slack, Oliver Rice, Debbie Podowski, Roraigh Falkner, Devon Alexander and Toby Hargrave.
The show was nominated for Best Comedy and Best Picture Editing in a Children's or Youth Program or Series. David Turko, creator, and writer and I met on the red carpet at this year’s Canadian Screen Actors Awards where I interviewed him about the challenges of writing comedy and what’s next for him.

Set in the 1870s, Gabe Polsky’s adaptation of John Williams’ literary western stars Nicolas Cage as a buffalo hunter who lures a naïve young man into an ambitious expedition in the Colorado Rockies.

On the red carpet at tiff 2022 and at the premiere of the film Butcher’s Crossing, I caught-up with actors Nicolas Cage, Rachel Keller, and the rest of the cast, followed by the film’s Q & A to discuss the Cage’s decision to star in and strong themes in this movie. Best known for Moonstruck and his wild turns as cinema’s most volatile man, Cage continues to prove he is also capable of great depth and nuance on screen, playing opposite Fred Hechinger (The White Lotus) in a beautiful adaptation of John Williams’ literary western.

This frontier epic tells the story of an Ivy League drop-out as he travels to the Colorado wilderness, where he joins a team of buffalo hunters on a journey that puts his life and sanity at risk.

From Will’s innocence to insight, as the adventure unfolds, Director Gabe Polsky (TIFF ’14’s Red Army) frames deep subject matter: greed, wrong & right, betrayal, destruction, distinction, and total carnage. Will and his ostensible mentor Miller fall into a spiral reminiscent of Willard and Kurtz in Apocalypse Now — something Cage nods to in the shades of Brando he brings to his performance.

The life, music, and activism of legendary Indigenous singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie are explored in this documentary that is as captivating as its subject, who smashed through barriers to become an inspiration to fans and fellow musicians alike.
 
Just in time for Canada and Independence Day, comes a tribute to Canadian/American singer & activist, Buffy Sainte-Marie’s extraordinary life and career, Madison Thomas’s Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On is as captivating and vital as its legendary subject, the first Indigenous person to win an Oscar (in 1983 for Best Original Song “Up Where We Belong” which she co-wrote and was featured in An Officer and a Gentleman). She was also the first recurring Indigenous guest star on Sesame Street.
 
This well-researched film divulges many lesser-known details of Sainte-Marie’s life and brings together a fine collection of subjects whose love and admiration is palpable — most notably Joni Mitchell, who beams with affection when she talks about her. Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On is a much-needed, inspiring biography of one of our most revered and courageous artists.

It’s something we don’t like to speak or think of happening in Canada – a country that prides itself on welcoming immigrants and embracing cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity and differences Yet, many minorities contend with racism and intolerance every day. Perhaps, you are one of those people.

In Riceboy Sleeps, Korean/Canadian Actor, Filmmaker, Writer and Producer, Anthony Shim, addresses these very issues; unlike others who have recalled the trauma of immigrating to this country in their films.

Winner of Best Original Screenplay at this year’s Canadian Screen Awards, Riceboy Sleeps is a 2022 Canadian drama that Shim also edited and directed.

Based in part on his own childhood, the film centers on So-Young (Choi Seung-yoon), a Korean immigrant single mother raising her teenage son Dong-Hyun (Ethan Hwang) after losing her husband and moving to Canada in the 1990’s to give him a better life.

In Canada, they fight for acceptance and respect. Dong-hyun is brutally bullied by his classmates at school, and he isn’t helped by the timid, distinctly Canadian racism of his teacher and principal, who consider the family “troublesome.” At work, So-young battles loneliness and racist and sexist comments. As they negotiate with their separate circumstances, the rift between mother and son grows. Unwelcome news sparks an unplanned return to South Korea — and the in-laws So-young hasn’t spoken to in many years — but might open the possibility of mutual understanding.

Shim’s deep engagement with his subjects sparks profound, affecting revelations. So-young’s joyride in a convertible heartbreakingly underscores the emotional weight of dealing with life in a new country and raising a headstrong child alone. An offhand remark in class that ends in a fight shows how tightly wound and ill at ease Dong-hyun is — even as a teenager.

Throughout the film, Shim expertly balances the very different perspectives of a boy and his mother, poignantly capturing his loneliness and frustration, her isolation, and sacrifices.

It premiered in the Platform Prize program at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival in September 2022, and was named the winner of the program's award. It had its international premiere at the 27th Busan International Film Festival in October 2022.

I met up with Shim on the red carpet at The 2023 Canadian Screen Awards to discuss the message he wants audiences to take away from this movie.

Whatever season or occasion, we owe it to ourselves to always look our best and make a good impression.

Our wardrobe is a key factor in achieving this and should reflect our unique personal style & brand, as well as accentuate our bodies, and make us feel comfortable.

As a fashion lover and accredited media at The One of A Kind Spring Show Toronto’s ladies night, it was wonderful to watch The Fashion Show proudly displaying the latest styles, colours, fabrics, patterns and trends. Wardrobe therapy!

More inspiration and wardrobe ideas came from my interview with fellow fashionista Lauren Mair, owner of ELLEMAIR CO - a clothing company that is made with passion and soul and promotes that you love your fashion, but not at the cost of our planet, animals, or people. 

We discuss her philosophy, creative and artistic background that she incorporates into the beauty and versatility of the down to earth, bohemian duster statement pieces she produces from recycled and vintage pieces in vivid fabrics. Each can be dressed-up or down, worn alone or as an accent piece to make your soul happy every day, even while traveling

Regardless of how you define it, art is something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful, expressing important ideas or feelings. It’s interpretive, surrounding our homes, offices, streets, and cities, and thus, a significant part of our lives. While covering The One Of A Kind Spring Show Toronto Ladies Night as accredited media, I met Mixed Media Toronto-based Artist, Morgan Jones. His unique tea party complete with his ballerina model and work immediately caught my eye. I just had to interview him! We talked about his former career as Director of Sales for a large consumer electronics company, how he became a self-taught full-time artist, and why. How he’s inspired by the casual observation of people and life around him, and how his work is constantly evolving. The multi-step process he uses to create his art, his keen eye for texture and composition, coupled with a whimsical flare, Morgan creates works that are aesthetically engaging while also evoking a visceral response in the viewer.

Have you stayed longer than you should have in an abusive relationship due to codependency?  Do you recall being anxious all the time without being sure why?  

Filmed in Canada, Alice, Darling, Oscar-Nominated actress, Anna Kendrick (“Alice”) captures the anxious psychology of a woman in an abusive relationship as her friends try to reconnect with her while on a cottage getaway.

When Alice is invited on a cottage trip to celebrate her friend’s birthday, she feels like she has to lie to her charming and successful boyfriend, Simon (Charlie Carrick), telling him that it’s a very important business trip.

Her longtime friends, played by Kaniehtiio Horn (Letterkenny) and Wunmi Mosaku (Lovecraft Country) want Alice to enjoy their time together, but she just doesn’t seem present. With Simon continuously texting her, it becomes clear that she’s being closely monitored by him and her phone turns into an overbearing conduit for emotional abuse. Once they realize what’s happening, Alice’s friends try to convince her that her relationship isn’t normal, but she continues to doubt herself, constantly modulating where she goes or what she eats, unable to disconnect from Simon, even though she knows she’s unhappy. As the weekend progresses, not only their friendship hangs in the balance, but also Alice’s safety. The women become entangled in a psychological tug-of-war with Simon, who continues his attempts at excising Alice from those closest to her.

Written by Alanna Francis, returning to TIFF 2022 after 2019’s The Rest of Us, and intelligently realized by Mary Nighy, Alice, Darling captures the apprehension and dread that haunt victims of domestic abuse. Nighy’s direction puts particular focus on the little details that serve as warning signs and, coupled with a meticulous performance from Kendrick, she creates a tense atmosphere that serves as a unique portrait of psychological manipulation and one young woman’s effort to overcome it with the support of her friends.

As accredited media, I was at their TIFF 2022 red carpet premier to talk to Nighy, Noah Segal (co-president at Elevation Pictures Corp), Kendrick (who in part accepted this role after being in her own abusive relationship for over 6 years), Francis, and Carrick about their roles, the importance of bringing this story to the big screen, and lots more!

Whether you marched in the civil rights movement, personally experience, or know a visible minority who continues to experience racism in our society today (sadly, incidents of crimes against humanity, discrimination and racism are still reported regularly), Sidney is a documentary portrait of the late, great Sidney Poitier. Produced by Oprah Winfrey & Derik and directed by Reginald Hudlin (House Party, Boomerang, Marshall), this piece showcases his films, life story, and litany of accomplishments as an artist and activist who forever changed what it means to be Black in America.

Poitier’s own words provide the narration of his life. Woven together is a rich mix of archive footage and contemporary interviews with a stellar group of interview subjects — from the late cultural critic Greg Tate to Halle Berry, Denzel Washington to Spike Lee, to Barbra Streisand, and Oprah.

Poitier’s contemporaries and the holders of his legacy detail just how extraordinary his rise was, from early failure at the American Negro Theater to Oscar-nominated roles in films like The Defiant Ones, to becoming the living, big-screen embodiment of America’s hopes for racial justice.

Poitier’s rise to stardom occurred in tandem with his commitment to social change, marching for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr., and helping to usher Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, a milestone in portraying Black American experience, from Broadway to the big screen.

Watching signature scenes from his films, getting a glimpse of rare footage from his life beyond Hollywood, and seeing how pivotal his life and example has been for so many of today’s icons, it’s clear that there never was and never can be a figure quite like Sidney Poitier.

The movie premiered at TIFF 2022. I was there as accredited media working the red carpet. It was an honor to speak with Reginald, and see in-person Sidney’s wife & daughters, Oprah, Tyler Perry, and Gayle King relay the power and impact of Sidney Potier, who paved the way for them.

Women Talking is a 2022 drama film written and directed by Sarah Polley. It is based on the Canadian 2018 novel of the same name by Miriam Toews, and inspired by the gas-facilitated rapes that occurred at the Manitoba Colony, a remote and isolated Mennonite community in Bolivia. It features an ensemble cast that includes Oscar-Winning actresses, Rooney Mara , Claire Foy (young “Queen Elizabeth” in Seasons 1 & 2 of Netflix’s The Crown), Jessie Buckley, Judith Ivey, Ben Whishaw, and Frances McDormand, who also served as a producer on the film.

Women Talking premiered at the 49th Telluride Film Festival on September 2, 2022, and was released in the United States via select theaters on December 23, 2022, before a wide release on January 27, 2023, by United Artists Releasing. The film received positive reviews from critics, who lauded Polley's screenplay and direction, the performances of the cast (particularly of Foy, Buckley, and Whishaw) and score. It was named one of the top ten films of 2022 by the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute, won Best Adapted Screenplay at the 28th Critics' Choice Awards, 75th Writers Guild of America Awards, and the 95th Academy Awards, where it was also nominated for Best Picture.

In this episode, I take you behind-the-scenes at Tiff (Toronto International Film Festival) 2022 to share with you more about the film, the various ways the women in the film deal with rape & their Mennonite culture in a riveting Q & Q with Polley and the cast minus Frances McDormand who was not in attendance.

With Passover and Easter upon us, this time of year, we often think about the meaning of freedom, survival, and renewal. Directed by Sally El Hosaini from a screenplay that she co-wrote with Jack Thorne, The Swimmers is a 2022 biographical sports drama film dealing with similar themes. The plot follows the true life story of teenage Syrian refugees Yusra Mardini and her sister Sarah Mardini, who swam alongside a sinking dinghy of refugees to lighten it, and eventually help 18 refugees to reach safety across the Aegean Sea while being smuggled from İzmir towards Lesbos.

Subsequent struggles as refugees are vividly depicted, but Yusra Mardini's swimming career sees her reaching the Rio 2016 Olympics as a member of the Refugee Olympic Team. In the final credits, we learn that Sarah in 2016 returned to Lesbos as part of voluntary efforts to assist incoming refugees. She was arrested and faces charges carrying potentially long-term prison sentences, if convicted.

Yusra and Sarah are played by real-life sister Lebanese Actresses, Nathalie Issa & Manal Issa. The film also stars, Ahmed Malek, German Actor, Matthias Schweighöfer (playing The Swimming Coach),  Ali Suliman, Kinda Alloush, James Krishna Floyd and Elmi Rashid Elmi.

November 11, 2022 it was in limited release in cinemas, then shown at the evening gala of the Marrakesh International Film Festival on November 18, 2022, before its streaming release by Netflix, on November 23, 2022.

As accredited media, I was at its world premiere red carpet Gala and Q & A at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2022 to conduct interviews and discuss the status of refugees, freedom, and the importance of pursuing your dreams.

Enjoy this episode with my compliments this Passover/Easter weekend!

Hunter and Rylee have been besties since kindergarten. They share everything and have developed a level of respect, kinship, and a very strong bond. But when they reunite post-grad, bitter truths emerge threatening to tear their friendship apart.

We also discuss the impact of female friendship, how women experience friendship differently than men, how friendships evolve & change over time and don’t always survive, the ever-present element of competition & jealousy between Hunter who remained living in their hometown while Rylee moved away to pursue a career, the lack of support shown for choosing different paths, how the women are driven by passion & low self-esteem , why it is important to never turn your back on those who are always there for you, and much more!

Born out of Director Sharon Lewis’s own muted struggle with not fitting into neat racial/Queer/Christian boxes, With Wonder takes an intimate look at the journey of members of the Queer, Christian community of colour and their attempts to answer the question: Can you be both Christian and Queer?

This feature length documentary, features the diverse stories of several members of the LGBTQI+ community, including high profile queer activists and Queer clerics, in places like Jamaica, New York, London, and Los Angeles. They each have their own unique ways of amplifying their voices and finding their way back to spiritual health, despite the shaming tactics of some Christian institutions.

With Wonder is a love letter to God from the LGBTQI+ community of colour. Heartfelt and honest, With Wonder delves into what for some might be uncomfortable conversations.

In this episode, I sit down with Courtney Panchan, Distribution Manager of Black Market Releasing (the film company releasing With Wonder) to talk about how the QPOC people in the film came to terms and come out the other side, living their truth with the power of who they are and still serving God and how they can champion youth across Canada & the US who are looking to be accepted for their truth.

Winner of Best Comedy at the 2022 Rome Film Fest and scheduled to soon hit movie theatres in Great Britain (Feb.24th) and North America, the film directed by multi-award-winner, Shekhar Kapur(Elizabeth, Bandit Queen), and written & produced by Jemima Goldsmith Khan, the movie is set between London and Lahore.

It documents a filmmaker’s childhood friend & neighbour's arranged marriage to a bride from Pakistan. It is based on Jemima’s own mixed marriage (she was formerly married to Pakistani politician and former cricket captain, Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi, who later served as the 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan). The star-studded cast includes Lily James (Lady Rose in Downton Abbey, Pam in Pam & Tommy) alongside British & Pakistani Actors, Models, Comedians and Musicians Shazad Latif, Shabana Azmi, Emma Thompson, Sajal Aly, Oliver Chris, Asim Chaudhry, Jeff Mirza, Alice Orr-Ewing, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.

I caught up with some of them at the film’s world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10th, 2022, to discuss the concept of arranged & assisted marriages, the pluses & minuses of them, what attracted these stars to their roles, and lots more!

As we continue to honor Valentine’s Day and all things LOVE, this week’s episode features the amazing story in first-time author, Danielle Kaplan’s book, I Married A Thrill-Seeker: A Cautious Wife’s Memoir of Her Husband’s Risk-Taking and Their Long Road to Recovery. For fans of memories of trauma and recovery and for anyone living and loving a risk-taker, comes one man’s struggle to overcome a one percent chance at survival as told through the eyes of his wife, his high school sweetheart, who was his greatest ally. The book recalls the tale of Danielle’s type-A and adrenaline-junkie husband, Stephen Kaplan — former CFO and CEO of Deciem Beauty Group — as he sets off to take one last solo road trip on his motorcycle, from Toronto, Ontario to near Fairbanks, Alaska. Danielle knows it’s the last ‘adrenaline rush’ trip he’ll take on the bike–he’s promised to give it up for good.

On the other hand, Steve expected to make it home with no drama, no unnecessary risks, just the freedom of the open road and the wind on his face. But after hitting a pothole while driving at a high speed in rain at dusk, it’s the ending neither of them dreamed of when he crashes on a remote highway in the Yukon, he can’t move, and its hours before he can receive medical treatment.

In this candid interview, Danielle and I sat down to discuss how this event changed her, her husband’s and her children’s lives in an instant, how she came to terms with Steve’s adrenaline-junkie antics & found an appreciation for it amidst having to make unbearable decisions, experiencing miraculous moments, how as a former speech pathologist she became her husband’s greatest advocate - fighting by his side the entire time, through every step forward and step back as Steve regained his health and lots more in what can only be described as a true testament of luck, love, and incredible fortitude given Steve’s injuries that left him with a less than one percent survival rate.

Happy February! In honor of Valentine’s Day, this month, our episodes are focused on all things LOVE. This includes love that isn’t always good for us. As is the case in the short movie, Love, Sick – A Story of Toxic Love, Written, Produced, & Directed, by the Emmy and Webby award-winning, Christopher Klimovski. I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing ‘Klimovski’ as he prefers to be called, in Vaughan, Ontario, at The Vaughan International Film Festival’s, International Short Filming Screenings where Love, Sick premiered. Have to admit, the film was chilling to the core. And I wouldn’t expect anything less from Klimovski. Have you been through a painful breakup and experienced heartbreak? Or ever missed someone so much that you felt sick? What about a strong sense of yearning for a person who didn’t feel the same way? Then you know that this experience is real and hurts. Love, Sick the movie takes this feeling up a notch. The story centers on two people who want to be together, and simply can’t without destroying each other. But not for the usual, cliché reasons. Klimovski and I chat about what provoked him to make this movie and explore the dark and very toxic side of love.

The Fabelmans is a 2022 American coming-of-age drama film directed by Steven Spielberg, who co-wrote and co-produced it with Tony Kushner. The film is a semi-autobiographical story loosely based on Spielberg's adolescence and first years as a filmmaker, told through an original story of the fictional Sammy Fabelman, a young aspiring filmmaker who explores how the power of films can help him see the truth about his dysfunctional family and those around him. It stars Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy, alongside Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, and Judd Hirsch in supporting roles.

The Fabelmans had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2022, where it won the People's Choice Award. The film received widespread critical acclaim for the performances of the cast, Spielberg's direction, the screenplay, cinematography, and John Williams' musical score. It was named one of the top ten films of 2022 by the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute.

The film received five nominations at the 80th Golden Globe Awards in 2023, winning Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director for Spielberg. It also received 11 nominations at the 28th Critics' Choice Awards, including Best Picture, winning Best Young Performer for LaBelle.

In this episode, I take you behind-the-scenes with Steven Spielberg and the cast at the Fabelmans at its TIFF premiere, where even more about Steven’s life & family, beginnings as a filmmaker, and casting decisions, are revealed.

BGU is Israel’s youngest university in the developing Negev Desert. It is quickly transforming into a dynamic university and becoming Israel’s fastest-growing university. In this episode, Janette talks with Jack Altman, President, BGU CANADA, David Dulberg and Naomi Oelbaum, Event Co-Chairs of  Ben-Gurion University Toronto’s The Future is Now Gala Featuring Actor Michael J. Fox about how the event came together, what they wanted attendees to get out of it, why BGU is at the forefront of medical research & development with its Medical Simulation Building, enrolling over 20,000 Jewish, Palestinian & Arab students each year, the impact its research has worldwide, and what makes BGU a school for sustainability and climate change.

This November, I interviewed the late Mark Mendelson, CEO of BGU Canada at Ben-Gurion University Toronto’s The Future Is Now Gala Featuring Actor Michael J. Fox. Although it was our first-time meeting, Mark’s fundraising in Canada for Israel-based institutions and other successes as a leader in the Jewish Community was evident. Sadly, he suddenly passed away in Montreal at the age of 73, just days after the event.

Mark served as the CEO of Ben-Gurion University Canada for the past 12 years. Previously, he was the executive director of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) for Eastern Canada for 17 years.

Known for his signature navy blazer and moustache, his love of family, good food & wine, art, cooking and entertainment, Mark had a larger-than-life personality.

His work and devotion to BGU Canada was also apparent - having expanded its presence across Canada and increasing the amount of money raised. Despite the limitations of the pandemic, Mark recently reported to supporters that the organization had had a record financial year.

Making BGU, Israel’s youngest university in the developing Negev Desert, become better known in Canada, became Mark’s true mission.

Mark shares how BGU transformed into a dynamic university becoming Israel’s fastest-growing university at the forefront of medical research & development with its Medical Simulation Building, enrolling over 20,000 Jewish, Palestinian & Arab students each year, the impact its research has on autism, and much more!

Canadian Journalist, Elliotte Friedman began his broadcast career for Toronto sports radio station The Fan 590 in 1994. He did play-by-play for Toronto Raptors games on both radio and television, and did freelance work for the London Free Press and the Toronto Star.

Friedman then worked for The Score network before joining CBC Sports in 2003. At CBC, Friedman was a reporter for Hockey Night in Canada. In 2011, Friedman received the Best Sports Reporting Gemini Award for his efforts on Hockey Night in Canada's Heritage Classic.

After Rogers Media acquired exclusive national media rights to the NHL and began producing Hockey Night for CBC, Friedman was hired by Sportsnet to continue his role.

It was a true honor to be the ONLY accredited media at Ben-Gurion University Toronto’s The Future is Now Gala Featuring Actor Michael J. Fox? Cand granted the chance to meet and interview Elliotte who served as event moderator. In our interview he shared what made him pursue journalism as a career, how he became involved in the event, how he prepared to lead the discussion with Michael J. Fox, his insights into Ben-Gurion University’s growth & development, and much more!

Enrico Colantoni is a Canadian actor & director, best known for portraying Elliot DiMauro in the sitcom Just Shoot Me!, Keith Mars on the television series Veronica Mars, Louis Lutz on the short-lived sitcom Hope & Gloria, crime lord Carl Elias on Person of Interest, and Sergeant Greg Parker on the television series Flashpoint. More recently, he starred as Allen Conner in Remedy. He played Laura Hollis's father in season three of the online web series Carmilla. He appeared in HBO's Westworld revival and in Station Eleven.

Colantoni was born in Toronto, Ontario. He attended the University of Toronto studying psychology and sociology, but transferred to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. Colantoni graduated from the Yale School of Drama, winning the Carol Dye Award.

Janette caught up with Colantoni at the 10th Annual Vaughan International Film Festival’s Gala Awards Red Carpet to talk about how the festival is making it easier for today’s talent to pursue their film & TV goals and dreams, how he was able to go from Toronto to Hollywood & Broadway, recently starring with Will & Grace’s Debra Messing in Birthday Candles, his upcoming projects, and more!

Canadian singer, songwriter, composer, and pianist, Chantal Kreviazuk was born in Winnipeg. She played music from a young age before signing with Columbia Records in the 1990s. Her debut studio album, Under These Rocks and Stones, was first released in Canada in 1996 and saw commercial success before being issued in the United States the following year to critical praise.
Kreviazuk released two more studio albums with the Columbia la-bel, Colour Moving and Still (1999) and What If It All Means Some-thing (2002), both of which brought moderate commercial success world-wide. She signed with Sony BMG for her fourth album, Ghost Stories (2006), which reached number two on the Canadian Albums Chart.
Since 2003, Kreviazuk has co-written and composed numerous songs for other artists as well as film soundtracks and has appeared in several Canadian independent and short films. Her fifth album, Plain Jane, was re-leased by Canadian independent label MapleMusic Recordings in 2009. Her most recent albums, Hard Sail and Get To You, were released by Warner Music Canada in 2016 and 2020, respectively. She also re-leased a Christmas album in 2019, called Christmas Is A Way Of Life, My Dear.
From the beginning of her career to 2016, Kreviazuk was the 51st best-selling Canadian artist in Canada. 
Kreviazuk met Raine Maida, the lead singer of Our Lady Peace, at a Pearl Jam concert in Toronto in 1996. They married in December 1999, and have three sons, born January 2004, June 2005, and June 2008. In honour of their tenth wedding anniversary, Kreviazuk and Maida renewed their wed-ding vows in Costa Rica in November 2009. The family lives in Toronto and also has a home in the USA.
Kreviazuk and Maida appeared in the 2019 documentary film I'm Going to Break Your Heart, which detailed both their collaboration on the al-bum Moon vs. Sun, their first album recorded jointly as a duo, and the conflicts and tensions that had arisen in their marriage after 19 years. 
Kreviazuk is a member of the Canadian charity Artists Against Racism and is also intimately involved with War Child and other charities.
Janette caught-up with her on the red carpet at 10th Annual Vaughan International Film Festival (VFF) Gala Awards (where she was the featured entertainer) to talk about her three-time Juno Award winner and collaborations with several other musicians, including Drake, Pitbull, Christina Aguilera, Carrie Underwood, Kendrick Lamar and Pink, how she sees VFF helping young artists, and what more she’d like to see for Metis & Ukrainian artists.

Playwright, Producer, Director and Actor Tyler Perry’s latest epic, A Jazzman’s Blues, is now streaming on Netflix. It was the first screenplay he ever wrote over 25 years ago. Set in Georgia, it stars actors Ryan Eggold (“Dr. Max Goodwin” on the NBC series, New Amsterdam), Joshua Boone, Solea Pfeiffer, Amirah Vann, and Austin Scott in a story of forbidden love and family secrets that stretches from the 1940’s to the 1980’s. Throw in the couple’s forced separation, “Leanne”, the female lead passing herself off as White & marrying a prominent White man, her mother “Ethel”, played by Lana Young, a tantalizing murder-mystery spiked with dazzling musical numbers choreographed by the legendary Debbie Allen, music composed by Aaron Zigman, and a nod to the Holocaust in “Ira”, Eggold’s character; and you have another testament to Black American music, resilience and storytelling that is very different from Perry’s previous comedic works.  A Jazzman’s Bluesalso explores the shared experience between American Blacks & Jews and their strong connection during the Civil Rights Movement, reminding us that love conquers all, including racism. Hailed for his humanity, Perry transformed himself from flat broke and sleeping in his car to one of Hollywood’s foremost screenwriters and comedians, reaching Billionaire status. As Accredited Media, I had the privilege of attending A Jazzman’s Blues TIFF Red Carpet Gala to chat with Perry about why making this film was on his bucket list, how it might just be the mark of a new chapter from him and how his faith & conviction carried him through. I also spoke to the rest of the cast about what attracted them to their roles, and the movie’s meaning & purpose. One of Perry’s best friends, Oprah Winfrey, even dropped by.

 Ukraine vs. Russia – The Inside Scoop with Ukrainian Filmmakers Serge & Nathalie Velbovets

I met Film Director & CEO Serge Vebovets of VELBIX FILMS and his lovely wife Nathalie Velbovets, both of whom immigrated to Canada 11 years ago from Ukraine, while interviewing & filming at The Vaughan International Film Festival. A riveting conversation ensued where I mentioned that my grandparents who hailed from Poland, Romania, Kiev and nearby towns, fled Ukraine between 1917 and 1921 to escape the Jewish Pogroms (when the USSR expelled its Jewish population). This led to a discussion on the current war between Ukraine & Russia and what Ukrainians have been experiencing for months on end. Although widely covered in the media, there are some things that have not been reported. In this interview, Serge & Nathalie give me an inside account of what their families, friends & filming crew deal with daily. They also share their perspectives and the world’s support and continued support of Ukraine, what more can be done to end the war, as well as on Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s leadership.

In this Janette’s TV & Janette’s TV Podcast Season 12 kick off episode, Janette sits down with Heather Carrick, Operations Manager, The World of Barbie, Mississauga, Ontario to talk about how Barbie’s impacted women and girls since the 60’s, Barbie’s creator, Ruth Handler intention that through the Barbie doll, girls could dream big and be anything that they wanted to be. How Barbie exemplifies a woman always has choices. How Barbie breaks traditional dolls of the time which were marketed as babies or housewife type characters. The misconception is that girls must renounce their femininity to be taken seriously. How Barbie teaches that it’s okay to look good and still work in a serious field. How Barbie is a strong, independent, financially secure woman and much more. Janette also takes you inside the exhibit so you can explore Barbie’s Dream House, Camper, Airlines, Closet, Fashion Runway, cars, outfits, and tons more!

If you’re a fan of Schitt’s Creek, The Handmaids Tale, The Saw III, The Saw IV, Rember, PawPortal, Killjoys, The Tuxedo, Degrassi: The Next Generation and Working Moms, you’ll instantly recognize the very bold, beautiful, and talented Canadian Actress Kim Roberts, winner of The Vaughan International Film Festival 2022 Independent Leadership Award. She’s one of the hardest and longest working Canadian Black actresses in Canada with an extensive list of impressive and diverse roles. Kim was also the first Black Actress to receive a speaking part in a commercial in Canada in the 1990’s. Yes, that’s how long it took! Because sadly, when Black actors and actresses make headlines, it’s not always treated well. Such as with the announcement of Ncuti Gatwa as the 14th Doctor in Doctor Who, the first Black doctor; Moses Ingram receiving abuse, forcing Star Wars co star Ewan McGregor to defend her; and Steve Toussaint being forced to defend his appearance on Game of Thrones for being a Black character in a house that is seemingly only allowed to be white. Kim and other Black actors’ achievements should be lauded, not treated as a surprise that they were able to do it because they were Black. Janette caught up with Kim at The Vaughan International Film Festival Gala awards to talk about her big win, her illustrious career with its highs & lows, reversing Roe vs. Wade, and what’s next for her.

If you’re a child of the 90’s, you will likely remember the iconic sitcom Friends starring David Schwimmer (Ross Geller), Courteney Cox (Monica Geller), Jennifer Anniston (Rachel Green), Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing), Matt Leblanc (Joey Tribbiani), and Lisa Kudrow (Pheobe Buffay). It ran on Thursday nights for 10 seasons, on NBC. Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, the series followed six young men and women residing in the same apartment complex and how they faced life and love together in Manhattan, New York City. Constantly sticking their noses into each another's businesses, as well as sometimes swapping romantic partners, the group always got into the kind of comedic situations that most other people never deal with, especially during breakups. In this Janette’s TV & Podcast episode, Janette sits down with Stacy Moscatelli, Co-President and Chief Strategy Expert for SuperflyX, the company that creates The Friends Experience Toronto,  as well as in major U.S. cities, to discuss what you can expect to see in the exhibit’s 12 showrooms replicating the set of Friends, why people are still so drawn to the show, what we can learn about friendship post-COVID from the characters, and much more!

In this Janette’s TV and Janette’s TV Podcast episode, Janette sits down with Maggie Murphy who was General Manager of the Lewes FC Women’s Team from 2019-2021, then elected to CEO of Lewes FC in 2021. Lewes Football Club was founded back in 1885 and is located in Lewes, East Sussex, England where Maggie joins us from. In 2017, they launched the ground-breaking Equality FC campaign that saw Lewes FC become the first (and currently only) club in the world to have equal playing budgets for women and men. Maggie sheds light on the history of Women & Football (Soccer) and how The FA Cup began in 1871. Women started playing in 1891. The Football Association banned women’s football in 1921 when the first Women’s FA Cup was played and didn’t reinstate it until 1971 (because they considered women’s football to be ‘unsuitable for a woman’s frame’, and ‘quite inappropriate for most women’). The 50-year ban allowed men’s teams to grow to the popularity they are now, while women were stunted from reaching the same level. Find out how she and Lewes FC are changing it and how you can play a part.

neighbourhood of Toronto: parents "Appa" (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) and "Umma" (Jean Yoon) – Korean for dad and mom, respectively – along with their daughter Janet (Andrea Bang) and estranged son Jung (Simu Liu).

Janette’s 1:1 On-Camera Training

https://www.janetteburke.com/1-1-on-camera-training

Written and directed by Danis Goulet, who is Cree Métis from northern

Saskatchewan, Night Raiders is a film about harm, abuse, violence, and/or

intergenerational trauma due to colonial practices. It is one of the most

important Canadian films made in recent times. A searing thriller set in the

near future; it digs deep into Canada's painful past to craft a compelling,

propulsive piece of genre cinema.

After a destructive war across North America, a military occupation seizes

control of society. One of their core tactics: taking children from their

families and putting them into State Academies or forced-education camps.

Niska (played by Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers) is a Cree mother desperate to

protect her daughter Waseese (played by Brooklyn Letexier-Hart). But events

force mother and daughter to separate, leading Niska to join a group of Cree

vigilantes to get her daughter back.

This story echoes the real forced assimilation of Indigenous children that

colonizing powers undertook in Canada, the US, Australia, and beyond. It

transforms the ugly reality of residential schools into remarkable,

cinematic piece. Goulet's vision, combined with powerful performances from

Tailfeathers, Letexier-Hart, and Gail Maurice, bring this speculative future

into dialogue with our past. Night Raiders is not just a singular Canadian

film, but a new view of Canada for the entire world.

Janette's TV & Podcast were among Canada's top accredited media at The

Canadian Screen Actors Awards virtual red carpet press room interviewing the

event's big winners. In this second episode of our special CSA series,

Janette talks with actress Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, who took home the award

for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in

this movie, about what this role meant to her and the Indigenous community,

and what she would like to see happen next for Indigenous actors, writers,

directors, and producers.

Sunday, April 10th, Canadian actors, producers, directors, and writers in TV & Film as well as Broadcasters were nominated and awarded for their outstanding work at The Canadian Screen Actors Awards - Canada’s equivalent to The Oscars and The Emmys. Hosted by actor Simu Liu (Shang-Chi in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), the event aired virtually on CBC. Janette’s TV & Podcast were among Canada’s top accredited media in the virtual red carpet press room, interviewing the big winners for the first time. In this initial episode in our special CSA series, Janette speaks with actor, Liam Diaz, who plays “Bing” in the movie, Scarborough, Best Picture winner. Diaz won Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role – an incredible accomplishment considering this was his first-ever acting job. Scarborough is an amazing movie with a powerful message that explores the struggles, endurance, and resilience of this culturally diverse Toronto community through the lives of three kids growing up within a system that has set them up for failure. Filmed on location in the Kingston-Galloway/West Hill neighbourhood, Scarborough takes place over the course of a school year. Producer/Writing team, Shaskha Nakhai & Rich Willaimson, winners of Best Achievement in Direction, were also on-hand to discuss what motivated them to make this film.

Born and raised in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, Maitreyi identifies as 'Tamil-Canadian' rather than 'Sri Lankan’. She began acting in school plays in Grade 10 and graduated from Meadowvale Secondary School. She made the decision to pursue an acting career in her last year at Meadowvale and landed the lead role of “Devi Vishwakumar” in the Netflix teen comedy series Never Have I Ever less than a year after. Ramakrishnan deferred her acceptance to the theatre program at York University in Toronto, which she had initially planned to attend the fall after she graduated high school, so she could shoot the series in Los Angeles. Janette caught up with her a Liquid Media’s Tiff party to discuss the series which first aired in July 2020 was renewed by Netflix for a second season August 2021 and deals with the coming-of-age of an Indian-American high school student coping with the sudden death of her father. This is Ramakrishnan’s first-ever acting role. She was selected by the show’s creator, Mindy Kalin (whose life the show is loosely based-on), out of 15,000 applicants who applied in an open casting call. Never Have I Ever has been described as a watershed moment for South Asian representation in Hollywood and has received praise for breaking South Asian stereotypes. A third season is in the making.

It’s the sort of thing fairy tales are made of, so we all thought. But it played out more like a nightmare. I’m referring to “Princess Diana’s” life and tragic death as depicted by actress, Kristen Stewart, in the movie Spencer. This Janette’s TV and Janette’s TV Podcast episode is a commentary of Tiff’s Bell Digital Talks In Conversation with Kristen Stewart which we were invited to participate in and even submitted interview questions in advance for. Kristen’s interview was conducted via ZOOM as she didn’t attend Spencer’s red-carpet premier. Rather, s he remained in the US. My commentary showcases Kristen’s talk and clips from the movie. She talked at length about how extraordinary this situation was since the movie was in production a year ago and has just now started to hit audiences across North America. She wanted to do Diana proud and was excited for people to finally watch a story never before told in the box office - a story filled with wealth, power, deceit, and controversy. Venice and Telluride film festivals have already credited Kristen with an amazing performance. Many critics think Kirsten was the perfect choice for the role. Yet others were skeptical of this casting choice. But Kristen has grown from her days of Twilight and really pulled it off. She’s already receiving Oscar Buzz.

In this Janette’s TV & Podcast episode, Janette sits down with English actress and singer, Lisa O’Hare who played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady and the title character of Mary Poppins on the West End and UK stage. Lisa has also appeared in several prime-time American television shows on TNT, ABC and NBC. Most recently, starring on Broadway in the musical, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.



Lisa talks about how she landed the role of “Georgia Goodwin”, the wife of Dr. Max Goodwin (playing opposite actor Ryan Eggold), in the popular NBC & Netflix medical drama, New Amsterdam. The series, based on the book Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital by Eric Manheimer, premiered on September 25, 2018, on NBC where it will continue this fall with Season 5. Netflix is currently airing Season 1 & 2 with plans to soon add Season 3 & 4.



She shares what is was like being on set with fellow British cast mates (Freema Agyeman, of BBC’s Doctor Who fame, who portrays oncologist “Dr.  Helene Sharpe” and Janet Montgomery, who plays “Dr. Lauren Bloom”– how both she and Montgomery were pregnant in real life while Lisa’s character was also pregnant in the show. And how she returned to film the final episode of Season just 2 two-weeks after giving birth. 



Adjusting to life back in the UK where her and her family have now been residing for nearly a year, Lisa recently completed filming another Netflix series (again in an American accent) and has been teaching young actors hoping to enter the acting profession. 



A trained ballet dancer and singer, Lisa knew early on that she wanted to perform and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. She has consistently performed in dance-oriented shows such as Alice and the Others at Sadler's Wells and Defile at the Royal Opera House. She also played Sally Bowles in Cabaret for the Reprise Theatre Company at the Freud Playhouse where she won the LA Drama Critics Circle Award for Lead Performance.

In this Janette’s TV & Podcast episode, Janette sits down with Canadian producers, writers, actors, comediennes, besties, and stars of the show New Eden currently streaming on Crave TV, Kayla Lorette, who portrays “Katherine Wryfield” and Evany Rosen, who portrays “Grace Lee” to talk about what motivated them to pair-up and create this eight-episode true crime mockumentary that follows “Katherine” and “Grace” from women’s rights advocates and feminist cult leaders to convicts. The series which starts in a women’s commune that is supposed to be a space for sisterhood and female empowerment, may sound dark. Really it is an exploration of gender and the courts told through a comedic perspective, and an incredible who-done-it murder mystery.

Many of us are still living with COVID and the new normal, not really knowing what to expect with cases increasing, reports of more dangerous mutated strands, vaccines that are causing harm and death, and more.

There’s an increased need to hanker down & take care of ourselves because as women, if we don’t, we can’t be good to anyone. However, most of us tend to put ourselves and our needs last, ignoring our mental, emotional & physical health until we can no more.

In February, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — better known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — confirmed they wouldn’t be returning to their royal duties. Now, less than a month later, the couple sat down with TV legend Oprah Winfrey to talk about their experiences as members of the British Royal family. The interview, titled Oprah With Meghan and Harry, aired March 7th on CBS in the U.S. and on Global in Canada.  Nearly 10 days have passed since the interview aired and its after-math of one bombshell revelation after another are still newsworthy with everyone from The Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William, Beyonce, Serena Williams and Michelle Obama weighing-in on the couple’s decision to leave Royal Life behind.    Before sharing they are expecting baby #2  - a girl, the couple candidly spoke of  their feelings and ongoing relationships with the Queen, Prince Charles, Harry’s brother, Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton. Refusing to stay silent any longer, yet carefully towing the line to reveal enough but not expose all, they expressed their dismay for how Meghan was portrayed in the British media. They also relayed how disappointed they were with the Royals, or as they refer to them, “The Firm/Institution” for their constant lack of support concerning the printing of mistruths about Meghan, as well as issues of racism, their security/protection, Meghan’s mental health, the couple’s son Archie’s skin colour (being that Meghan is half-black) & Archie denied a title, and how they’re surviving without having their royal salaries to sustain them.  But are Harry and Meghan truly the victims they claim to be? Or will we we soon hear the other side of this tale and discover some altered perceptions, omissions, and possible lies that may point to Harry & Meghan’s decision to leave Royal Life not being just about what they said? In this new HOT TOPICS episode, Janette’s reviews, and analysis the interview with her commentary.   FOLLOW JANETTE"S TV ON SOCIAL MEDIA  Website: janetteburke.com  Instagram: @janetteburke  Twitter: @JanetteBurke  Facebook: @JanettesTV
