Jr. Gone Wild burst onto Canada’s mid-’80s DIY music scene with songs, guitars and no roadmap for the future. A 15-year journey making a life as a band was shaped by record deals, lineup changes, bad luck and hard choices, forging a sound rooted in country and rock while holding fast to an ethos born of punk. Presented as part of the CJSR Air Tight FunDrive Festival.

Christian Zyp interviews Emily Robinson (writer/director) about her feature film directorial debut, CRY UGLY. It screens as part of OFF THE CUFF at the Globe Cinema Monday November 9th at 7 PM. Emily is a SAG Award-nominated, Special Drama Desk Award-winning actor known for her work in EIGHTH GRADE, THE YEAR BETWEEN, PRIVATE LIFE, THE EDGE OF EVERYTHING, and TRANSPARENT. UGLY CRY premiered at SXSW 2026. Her debut novel, CONSUMED, was published in 2023.

An actor loses their dream role because of their "ugly cry" — causing them to spiral down the dark and dangerous path to perfection. When Delaney's (writer-director Emily Robinson) boyfriend leaves town to shoot a splashy zombie movie, she becomes obsessed with a character she's auditioning for after she learns the producers think she has an "ugly cry." But when she tries to make her cry prettier, her performance suffers. Can she contort herself, and her face, to have the perfect cry?

Her attempts to change herself cause Young Delaney to haunt her, catapulting present-day Delaney deeper down the rabbit hole. She isolates herself and grows increasingly delusional, and interested in physical fixes to her acting problem. How can she make the world see her as she sees herself? How can she become and become and become? She will become famous. Or die trying.
