  • Sextortion – The Hidden Pandemic & What It’s Doing to Our Youth
    Last month, justice was finally served for Amanda Todd, the Canadian teen who took her life in one of the most high-profile Sextortion cases on record. It was unsealed for the first time in 1091 Pictures global release, timed to Mental Health Awareness Month in the global TVOD/digital release of Auroris Media’s inspirational, fast moving, and timely feature documentary Sextortion: The Hidden Pandemic from director, editor & producer Maria Peek, p.g.a. (“I Dream of Dance,” “Third Grade”) and producer & cinematographer Stephen Peek, p.g.a. (“Unacknowledged,” “Renegade”).  Amanda’s mother and other victims also speak in this film.

    In this Janette’s TV & Janette’s TV Podcast episode, Janette sits down with Stephen & Maria Peek to discuss what sextortion is and how it is affecting our youth and how the film merges true crime with an empowering educational opportunity that provides families with essential ways to keep their children safe on the Internet. 

    The filmmakers experienced Sextortion in real time through one of their children’s classmates, and it inspired them to be the change they want to see in the world. With a rapidly moving running time of 85 minutes, you will be engaged and inspired to help save kids around the globe once you watch this documentary.

    Premiering at this year’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival as part of the Social Justice Feature Documentaries, and recently through the Spotlight Docs Series (a 501c3 that the filmmakers founded), along with the film came a recently completed sold-out 20+ city educational tour around the U.S. (to audiences of over 5,000 people), where the filmmakers, and Federal agents who ran the landmark case (declassified for first time in this film), have been onsite to experience the emotional and powerful moments—where victims and victims’ families spoke up during the post screening Q&A’s. They have over 200 additional requests across the globe asking for an educational screening series in their cities.  The EU Parliament and The Pentagon have begun planning screenings with the filmmakers for later this year and into 2023.

    The case featured in the film was declassified by (HSI) right before its release, comparable in scope to the case featured in the critically acclaimed “Spotlight.” It’s important to note the difference between human trafficking (cases in the hundreds of thousands), and sextortion (cases in the tens of millions) – as sextortion is 1,000 times more prevalent and is often the precursor to trafficking. 1 in 4 kids are affected or know someone who has been affected by sextortion.

    Through partnerships with the Department of Justice and Homeland Security, the filmmaking team had unique unrestricted access to all government documents for an international sextortion case of a Top Gun pilot with hundreds of victims, unsealed for this film for the very first time. By interviewing survivors and their parents, this true crime piece exposes this fastest growing crime against children, the tactics of online predators, and the voices of parents and law enforcement poised to stop online child exploitation in its tracks. Through interviews with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), “Sextortion: The Hidden Pandemic” shows the scale of online enticement and exploitation of children-- and what we can do to stop it.  The filmmakers created an online educational curriculum in partnership with NC

  • Multi Juno Award-Winning Canadian Singer/Songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk Featured Entertainer at The Vaughan International Film Festival's Awards Gala

    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.

  • Straight from its TIFF Red Carpet Premier Gala - Tyler Perry, Ryan Eggold & the Rest of the Cast of Perry’s New Netflix Movie, A Jazzman’s Blues, with a Surprise Visit from Oprah

    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 Blues also 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.

  • BOLD & BEAUTIFUL: CANADIAN ACTRESS KIM ROBERTS RECEIVES THE VAUGHAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2022 INDEPENDENT LEADERSHIP AWARD

    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.

  • What Kind of Friend Are You - THE F.R.I.E.N.D.STM EXPERIENCE TORONTO with Stacy Moscatelli, Co-President and Chief Strategy Expert for SuperflyX

    If you’re a child of the 90’s, you must remember the iconic sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S starring David Schwimmer (Ross Geller), Courteney Cox (Monica Geller), Jennifer Anniston (Rachel Greene), Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing), Matt Leblanc (Joey Tribbiani), and Lisa Kudrow (Pheobe Buffay) that ran for 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 comic 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 F.R.I.E.N.D.STM 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 F.R.I.E.N.D.S, why people are still so drawn to the show, what we can learn about friendship post COVID from the characters, and much more!

  • EQUAL PAY & THE FUTURE OF FOOTBALL With MAGGIE MURPHY, CEO, LEWES FC

    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.

  • THE CANADIAN SCREEN ACTORS AWARDS: Sort of, Winner: Best Comedy Series

    What makes you proud to be Canadian or American? How do you feel a part of society? As we celebrate Canada and Independence Day, we recognize our unique culture and diversity through the Canadian television sitcom, Sort of, released in Canada on CBC Television & CBC Gem in 2021, and HBO Max in the US. Created by Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo, the series stars Baig as Sabi Mehboob, a non-binary millennial trying to balance his roles as a child of Pakistani immigrant parents and Muslim upbringing, a bartender at an LGBTQ bookstore and café, and a caregiver to the young children of a professional couple. The show has been widely received and nominated for several awards, becoming the most-nominated television series at this year’s 10th annual Canadian Screen Awards (Canada’s equivalent to the Oscars). With 13 nominations, it won for Best Comedy Series. It was also shortlisted for the fan-voted Audience Choice Award. In February 2022, the series was renewed for a second season. As accredited media at the CSA’s virtual red carpet, in this Janette’s TV & Janette’s TV Podcast episode, Janette sits down with Bilal Baig (Co-Creator & Writer, plays “Sabi Mehboob”), Fab Filippo (Co-Creator & Director), Amanda Cordner (plays “7ven”), and Jennifer Kawaja (Producer, Sienna Films) to talk about the show is impacting the LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ community around the world.
