Dating in the digital world feels nearly impossible, and for Kevin, it truly is.

In this episode, we dive into the UK-made comedy series "Patterns" focusing on Episode 4: Kevin's Series of Unfortunate Events, which is currently premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival!

Kevin (played by Jake Watkins) is a hopelessly earnest romantic whose optimism far outweighs his self-awareness. By day, he works as a school's Online Safety Salamander. By night, he subjects himself to a relentless series of disastrous dates, convinced that persistence alone will eventually lead to love.

His misadventures become a source of fascination for his colleagues: the confident, sharp-tongued school nurse Vera (Cecilia Noble) and geography teacher Dave Douglas (Ryan Sampson). But what Kevin fails to notice is that a genuine connection has been quietly forming much closer to home.

MEET THE CAST & CREATORS • Kevin (Jake Watkins - BBC's 'I Kissed a Boy'): A lovable friend whose life never quite works out, dreaming of a Hollywood career but stuck as a Safety Salamander. • Dave Douglas (Ryan Sampson - Sky's 'Mr Bigstuff', 'Brassic', ITV's 'Plebs'): An eccentric geography teacher with the best intentions who thinks he's "down with the kids." • Vera (Cecilia Noble - BBC's 'Killing Eve', Netflix's 'Black Mirror'): A no-nonsense school nurse who acts as Kevin's anchor with tough love and emergency sausage rolls. • Creator & Writer: Asad Moghal, who drew inspiration from a string of his own real-life dating disasters to create this sharply observed, character-driven comedy. • Director: Rex Glensy, an orchestral conductor turned entertainment lawyer and filmmaker (director of 'Hill of Vision'), representing production company Aurelia Pictures.

INSIDE THE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT "Everyone has had a disaster date... My goal as a director was to take a self-deprecating view of dating nightmares some of us might have had, so that at least we can laugh at ourselves instead of crying. The lead character, Kevin is all of us."

The Hilarious and Sexy New Film Will Be Coming to Theaters April 24! Winner of the Special Jury Prize at Sundance, TWO WOMEN is an irrepressible comedy about two mothers who refuse to settle for stagnant lives and instead pursue the joy they need to feel alive and fulfilled. When neighbors Violette (Laurence Leboeuf) and Florence (Karine Gonthier-Hyndman) bond over the ennui of parenthood, they realize that the solution to reviving their joie de vivre may be in listening to their libidos. As the two start finding sex in unexpected places, they examine the larger unfulfilled needs that brought them to their current moment and choose to pursue a life of joy over compromise.

Sophie Nélisse, Juliette Gariépy, Mani Soleymanlou, and Félix Moati complete a stellar ensemble cast.

On this episode of She's All Over the Place, host Katie Chonacas sits down with acclaimed filmmaker Cate Shortland, director and pioneering voice for women behind the camera, to discuss her landmark debut feature Somersault.

Originally nominated for Un Certain Regard and the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Somersault follows teenage Heidi, who escapes home after a traumatic encounter and attempts to rebuild her identity in a frozen ski town. Through isolation, longing, and fragile connection, the film explores adolescence, intimacy, and the human need for belonging.

We go far beyond filmmaking technique. This conversation becomes an honest exploration of creative courage, emotional exposure, and artistic voice, especially for female storytellers navigating an industry that often discourages vulnerability.

Cate shares: • How Somersault was conceived and made • Working with early-career actors Abbie Cornish and Sam Worthington • Why vulnerability is a strength in storytelling • Emotional truth vs. performance in film • The responsibility of female filmmakers to tell authentic stories • Finding confidence as a woman director • Creative intuition, sensitivity, and psychological depth in cinema

We also discuss the film's new 4K restoration and its continued cultural relevance, over 20 years after its Cannes premiere.

More than a film discussion, this episode is a masterclass on owning your voice, telling your story, and making art that feels emotionally truthful.

About the Film – Somersault

Following a reckless encounter with her mother's boyfriend, teenage Heidi flees home and takes refuge in a motel in the winter town of Jindabyne. She finds work at a petrol station, befriends a coworker, and begins a complicated relationship with Joe, a young man dealing with his own emotional wounds. Together they confront isolation, desire, addiction, and the search for connection.

Written & Directed by: Cate Shortland Cast: Abbie Cornish, Sam Worthington, Lynette Curran Genre: Drama Runtime: 106 minutes Restored in 4K from the original 35mm negative by Piccolo Films

Filmmaker Roc Morin on following soldier and actor Pavlo Aldoshyn during the war in Ukraine

What happens when an actor who once played a sniper in a movie becomes a real sniper in war?

In this episode of She's All Over the Place, host Katie Chonacas speaks with director Roc Morin about the documentary MEDUZA, a powerful film following Ukrainian actor Pavlo Aldoshyn from the first days of the 2022 invasion through two years on the front lines.

Before the war, Pavlo was known for the film White Raven and as a contestant on Ukraine's version of The Voice. When Russia invaded Ukraine, he was recruited as a sniper — the same role he had previously portrayed on screen. MEDUZA documents his psychological, emotional and spiritual transformation as he navigates combat, relationships, and identity.

Filmed across Ukraine, Japan, India, Ecuador, and the United States, the documentary connects Pavlo's inner world to global stories, including a Japanese widower searching the ocean for his wife and an Amazonian tribesman describing a lost mythological bridge between earth and sky.

Director Roc Morin, a journalist who has reported on the conflict since 2014, discusses entering Ukraine during the invasion, meeting Pavlo in Kyiv while he was on leave, and filming near the front lines in Kharkiv and surrounding regions.

Topics covered: • The human cost of war • Soldiers and psychological transformation • Documentary filmmaking in conflict zones • Ukraine war reporting • Spiritual identity during wartime • Ethics of filming active conflict • The life of Pavlo Aldoshyn

This episode contains discussion of war and combat experiences.
