“Up Here” (premieres Friday, March 24, 2023)

A musical romantic comedy set in New York City in the waning days of 1999, follows the extraordinary story of one ordinary couple, as they fall in love – and discover that the single greatest obstacle to finding happiness together might just be themselves – and the treacherous world of memories, obsessions, fears, and fantasies that lives inside their heads.

“Up Here” stars Mae Whitman, Carlos Valdes, Katie Finneran, Sophia Hammons, Emilia Suárez, Andréa Burns, John Hodgman, and Scott Porter. The series is written by Steven Levenson (“tick, tick…BOOM!”, “Dear Evan Hansen”) and Danielle Sanchez-Witzel (“The Carmichael Show”) with songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez (“Frozen,” “WandaVision”) writing original songs. “Hamilton’s” Thomas Kail directs and executive produces the series alongside Levenson, Sanchez-Witzel, Anderson-Lopez, Lopez, and Jennifer Todd. 20th Television serves as the production company alongside Kail’s Old 320 Sycamore Productions.

“Tiny Beautiful Things” (premieres Friday, April 7, 2023)

Based on the best-selling collection by Cheryl Strayed, “Tiny Beautiful Things” follows Clare (Kathryn Hahn), a floundering writer who becomes a revered advice columnist while her own life is falling apart.

When we first meet Clare, her marriage to her husband Danny is barely limping along; her teenage daughter, Rae, is pushing her away; and her once-promising writing career is non-existent. So when an old writing pal asks her to take over as the advice columnist Dear Sugar, she thinks she has no business giving anyone advice. After reluctantly taking on the mantle of Sugar however, Clare’s life unfurls in a complex fabric of memory, exploring her most pivotal moments from childhood through present day, and excavating the beauty, struggle, and humour in her unhealed wounds. Through Sugar, Clare forms a salve for her readers – and for herself – to show us that we are not beyond rescue, that our stories can ultimately save us. And, perhaps, bring us back home.

“Saint X” (premieres Wednesday, April 26, 2023)

“Saint X” is a psychological drama, told via multiple timelines and perspectives, which explores and upends the girl-gone-missing genre. It’s a series about how a young woman’s mysterious death during an idyllic Caribbean vacation creates a traumatic ripple effect that eventually pulls her surviving sister into a dangerous pursuit of the truth.

Leila Gerstein (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) is a writer and executive producer alongside Dee Rees (“Mudbound”) who directs and executive produces the eight-episode series. Stephen Williams (“Watchmen”) will also serve as executive producer, with David Levine and Zack Hayden for Anonymous Content, Aubrey Graham aka Drake, Adel “Future” Nur, and Jason Shrier for DreamCrew Entertainment (“Euphoria”), in addition to Alexis Schaitkin, and Steve Pearlman (“Once Upon a Time”). “Saint X” is a production of ABC Signature.

FRED & FARID Shanghai has been appointed by TikTok to develop its campaign for the Chinese New Year. In partnership with top-tier Chinese star, Andy Lau, the leading creative agency created a brand TVC and dynamic opening screen assets using remote shooting methods. The campaign, which references the traditional Hongbao custom of giving red envelopes filled with money as a gesture of good wishes during the Chinese New Year, brings a fresh and unique approach to the practice. Instead of focusing on the amount of money or the mechanism of receiving the Hongbao, the campaign emphasizes the simple and heartfelt message of good wishes conveyed through a traditional Chinese letter written by Andy Lau himself.

The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television (the Canadian Academy) unveiled today the complete list of recipients for the 2023 Special Awards, a series of achievement awards bestowed upon those in Canada’s screen-based industry who have made outstanding contributions to the industry and society as a whole. These nine illustrious recipients will be recognized for their formidable accomplishments during Canadian Screen Week, taking place in Toronto from Tuesday, April 11, 2023 through to Sunday, April 16, 2023.

“It is truly inspiring to see such a powerful, diverse group of Special Award honourees who are a true representation of the amazing work that is being done by Canadians in film and television,” said Tammy Frick, CEO, Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television. “From powerhouse performers to household names you trust and welcome into your homes each day, their impact stretches far beyond just our country’s borders and we are so proud they call Canada home.”

The Canadian Academy’s 2023 Special Award honourees are:

The Academy Board of Directors’ Tribute is also being given posthumously to Paul Pope, a giant in the Canadian media production community and an advocate for the industry in Newfoundland. Through his tireless promotion of the province, and the work of his company, Pope Productions, Pope was instrumental in bringing hundreds of film and TV projects to Newfoundland, with credits such as Hudson & Rex, Rare Birds, and Extraordinary Visitor.

Moore has shown an admirable commitment to diversity and inclusion on Cityline in front of and behind the camera, most notably through her work as the host of the Cityline Real on Race YouTube series and podcast and as co-producer and co-host of Citytv’s RTNDA award-winning race special Ending Racism: What Will it Take?

Gripping Documentary MALCOM IS MISSING recounts a woman’s search for her father after he went missing in Puerto Vallarta. The Film plays one night only at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema Sunday, January 29, 2023, 7 PM. A Q&A will follow.

On Oct. 27, 2018, Canadian Malcom Madsen went to a Puerto Vallarta bar with his Mexican girlfriend Marcela Acosta Ramos and they left together just after midnight. It was the last time the 68-year-old Madsen was seen alive.

In Port Hope, Ontario, 4,400 km away, Madsen’s daughter Brooke Mullins turned detective out of desperation. Puerto Vallarta police were frustratingly unhelpful, even though there were clear suspects and increasingly undeniable incriminating evidence.

Malcom is Missing, from Canadian documentarians Robert Osborne and Jari Osborne, is an affecting and suspenseful portrait of a daughter who wouldn’t give up, and a corruption-riddled system of justice – a country where 100,000 people go missing every year and 95% of violent crimes are never solved.

Brooke’s journey involves allies, including friends of her father who were among the first to notice him missing, an activist lawyer and an investigative reporter who dared not show his face on camera. Her family life was strained and her costs were considerable. We discover that in Mexico one often must pay the police to get them to do their job and pay others for evidence (including body parts that may have been Malcom’s). 

In between the moments of investigative discovery, Malcom is Missing paints a picture of a strained but loving family, a man-child of a father who left Brooke’s life early, but maintained a bond that compelled her to find out his fate. We see his odd collection of miniatures, including a mechanical “Curiosity Shop,” and gradually get a sense of a man who’s a curious combination of guarded and suspicious yet oddly naïve and trusting. 

Through a combination of video, money-obsessed texts from Mexico and GPS records from cars and phones, Brooke builds what would seem to be a ridiculously airtight case. And still, the authorities found ways to deflect and deny the obvious.

“It would be hard to build a more compelling case,” says Robert Osborne. “Brooke had three “smoking gun” pieces of evidence, including pictures of the crime being committed.  And yet time after time when she would take that evidence to the Mexican prosecutor, he would dismiss it as inconclusive.  Brooke’s continued push for justice is a testament to her own perseverance.”

“I am always amazed and inspired by how passionate and articulate so-called “ordinary” people can be,” says co-director Jari Osborne. “ Brooke is no exception. In fact, in every way, I find Brooke remarkable–as is her story.  Malcom is Missing is certainly a true crime thriller. But at its heart, beats the story of a brilliant, elusive–and flawed—father, and the daughter who would rescue him and find herself profoundly changed.” 

“I also think it’s important to point out,” continues Robert Osborne, “that among the Mexican people, Brooke found dozens of allies—people who saw her Facebook page and just began contacting her with offers of help.  She was able to build a network of sources that fed her a constant stream of information from inside the justice system and out.  She would never have accomplished what she did without the help of those ordinary people.”

Malcom is Missing was produced by Dam Builder Productions Inc., in association with the documentary Channel; the Canadian Media Fund; the Rogers Cable Network Fund; Canada Film or Video Production Tax Credit, and Ontario Creates.

The Canadian Academy of Arts and Sciences (CARAS) and CBC today announced the next lineup of artists set to perform at The 2023 JUNO Awards Broadcast hosted for the second time by Hollywood superstar Simu Liu. Inaugural JUNO Awards performances will be made by global phenomenon AP Dhillon, as well as multi-platinum songwriter/producer duo Banx & Ranx together with acclaimed singer/songwriter Preston Pablo and dance-pop icon Rêve. JUNO Award winning country star Tenille Townes will also take the stage for the first time ever. The artists join the previously announced line-up of performances from Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee Nickelback and four-time JUNO nominee Tate McRae.

The 52nd JUNO Awards, produced by Insight Productions (a Boat Rocker company), will broadcast and stream live across Canada from Rogers Place in Edmonton, AB at 8 p.m. ET/6 p.m. MT on CBC TV, CBC Gem, CBC Radio One, CBC Music, CBC Listen, and globally at CBCMusic.ca/junos and CBC Music’s Facebook, YouTube and Twitter pages. Tickets for The 2023 JUNO Awards start at $49.00 (including tax plus fees) and are available for purchase at www.ticketmaster.ca/junos, by phone and in-person at the Rogers Place box office.

AP Dhillon, the Punjabi-Canadian singer, songwriter and producer, who debuted in 2019 with his single “Fake,” will make his inaugural JUNO Award Broadcast appearance when the show touches down in Edmonton. Using his creative range to fuse South Indian and Western music cultures, AP continues his meteoric rise with hits like “Excuses,” “Brown Munde,’” “Insane,” and “Summer High” topping charts on Apple Music and Spotify around the world. With no touring history, he has managed to sell out shows across the globe, including performing to crowds of over 13,000 people at arena shows in Vancouver and Toronto. This performance will mark AP’s first time entertaining audiences in Edmonton.

Edmontonians will also be wowed by Montreal’s songwriter/producer duo Banx & Ranx crafting the sound for a special collaborative performance alongside multi-platinum rising artists Preston Pablo and Rêve. Since forming in 2014, Banx & Ranx have accumulated over two billion streams, more than one billion YouTube views and their first GRAMMY Award nomination for production on Sean Paul’s album Scorcha. Over the years, the pair has infused their signature ECM sound (Electronic Caribbean Music) into collaborations with an array of global superstars, including Dua Lipa, Ty Dolla $ign, BLACKPINK, Sia, Nicky Jam, Ellie Goulding, Shenseea and more. Last year, Banx & Ranx released their gold certified track “Headphones” featuring Rêve, their first single since partnering their label and publishing company 31 East with Universal Music Canada.

Drawing big sound out of his small town roots, Preston Pablo will get audiences in Alberta up and dancing with his impassioned songwriting that seamlessly blends R&B and Pop. His 2X platinum breakout single “Flowers Need Rain,” another collaboration featuring Banx & Ranx, is #1 at Mainstream AC radio, reached top-five at Top 40 radio, was the #1 most Shazamed track in Canada, and has amassed over 43 million streams globally. Earlier this month, Preston kicked off the year with a bang with his infectious new pop track “AY AY AY.”

With her recent single “Whitney” reaching the #1 spot on US Dance Radio, Rêve will bring her electric energy and sonic prowess of playful dance-pop to her group performance at Rogers Place. Since making her label premiere in 2021 with “Still Dancing,” Rêve has amassed over 97 million global streams across a number of original singles, including the irresistible “SKIN 2 SKIN,” her airy beat “Layover,” the flirtatious “Tongue,” and her chart-topping number “CTRL + ALT + DEL,” which went platinum in under eight months and was featured on Canada’s Drag Race.

Grande Prairie’s Tenille Townes will make her JUNO Awards performance debut captivating crowds with her hard-hitting lyrics in her home province this March. Her latest project Masquerades, is a meditation on self-reflection and facing flaws. It follows her acclaimed 2021 JUNO Award winning first album The Lemonade Stand. Townes will be headlining shows in Western Canada later this month, with stops in Vancouver, Kelowna, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon and Winnipeg.

This year’s nominees will be revealed at the 2023 JUNO Award Nominee Announcement Presented by Ontario Creates in downtown Toronto on Tuesday, January 31. Music lovers can watch the press conference live on CBC.ca/music/junos at 11 a.m. ET and be the first to meet the honourees. The 52nd Annual JUNO Awards and JUNO Week 2023 will take place in Edmonton, AB from Thursday, March 9 through Monday, March 13, 2023, culminating with The JUNO Awards Broadcast.
