SNAKE, premiering at SXSW. Image c/o Club Red Productions.
March 12, 2026 (Toronto, ON) – Canadian distributor Game Theory Films has picked up Canadian rights to Jenna MacMillan’s directorial debut, THE SNAKE ahead of its World Premiere at SXSW in March 2026. THE SNAKE is part of the Narrative Feature Program where it is eligible for the Narrative Feature Competition, and also marks the first-ever Prince Edward Island-made film to premiere at SXSW.
Written by and starring Susan Kent, and directed by award-winning producer Jenna MacMillan, the film unites the duo from Who’sYer Father? which set box office records in the Maritimes.
THE SNAKE is an off-beat dark-comedy that follows an ungovernable 40 year-old woman Jamie (Kent) and her descent as her life blows up around her. The film carves out space for rarely-seen women who, despite all odds, can’t get their shit together. THE SNAKE is about Jamie, a 40-something wild child who collides with her venomous mother Anne (Robin Duke). Following an eviction and newly single, Jamie’s life blows up spectacularly.
“I’m thrilled to partner with Game Theory Films to bring THE SNAKE to Canadian audiences,” says MacMillan of her directorial debut. “Hilary and her team have an incredible track record of championing bold, character-driven stories, and their genuine enthusiasm for this film means everything to us. As PEI’s first feature to premiere at SXSW, THE SNAKE represents not just a personal milestone, but proof that compelling, authentic storytelling can come from anywhere. I can’t wait for Canadian audiences to meet Jamie and her roller coaster ride of a life.
Hilary Hart of Game Theory Films says, “Susan Kent has created an unforgettable, unapologetic and deeply loveable character in Jamie, brought to life with humour and empathy under Jenna MacMillian’s assured direction. We are thrilled to join the team and can’t wait for Canadian audiences to fall in love with THE SNAKE.”
THE SNAKE boasts an ensemble cast including Robin Duke, Jonathan Torrens, Emma Hunter, Daniel Petronijevic, Jimbo and more.
THE SNAKE is written by Susan Kent, directed by Jenna MacMillan and produced by Bill Lundy, Melani Wood, and Sharlene Kelly for Club Red Productions.
Support for THE SNAKE provided by Telefilm Canada and the Prince Edward Island Film Fund.

Tony®, EMMY®, and five-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer, songwriter, actor, and philanthropist Josh Groban has announced his new album, CINEMATIC, arriving May 8th via Reprise Records. A tribute to the grand and gorgeous world of the silver screen, the 10-track album was produced by Greg Wells (Wicked, The Greatest Showman, Dua Lipa, Adele, Taylor Swift), recorded in both Los Angeles and London, and includes globally revered songs from such movie classics as The Godfather, Casablanca, The Lion King, Stand By Me, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and many more. See a full tracklisting included below. The album is available to pre-save/pre-order HERE. Watch the official trailer HERE.
To herald the announcement, Josh has shared his soaring new rendition of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from the beloved film The Lion King, offering a first glimpse into the grandeur and emotional depth of the upcoming project, also featuring the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles. Stream/Download HERE.
“There’s something incredibly powerful about the way a song or score can elevate a story and stay with you long after the credits roll,” Groban explains. “With CINEMATIC, I wanted to honor that feeling — the nostalgia, the drama, the romance — while bringing my own voice and perspective to these timeless songs. Recording this album felt like stepping into some of the most iconic moments in film history, and I hope listeners are transported the same way I have always been when the lights go down and the music begins.”
CINEMATIC promises to be both nostalgic and newly inspired – a transportive listening experience that honors the scores and songs that defined generations, while reminding us why we fell in love with them in the first place. Standout moments on CINEMATIC include a sweeping, Sicilian-language rendition of “Brucia La Terra” from The Godfather, a sweeping orchestral version of “As Time Goes By” from Casablanca a stirring duet of “Unchained Melody” with friend and touring mate Jennifer Hudson, and a heart warming rendition of “Moon River” with his dad, Jack Groban, playing the trumpet solo. Also featured is an emotionally charged performance of “Skyfall,” showcasing Groban’s dynamic vocal prowess at its most cinematic.
Just last month, Groban kicked off his GEMS World Tour with a sold-out performance in Honolulu, HI at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center Arena, before bringing the tour across Asia and Oceania with stops in Taipei, Singapore, Jakarta, Manila, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. With momentum building worldwide, Groban is set to continue the tour later this month with performances in Dublin, London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, and Amsterdam. In June, the tour continues through North America with special guest Jennifer Hudson, including stops at TD Garden in Boston on June 6, Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 12, and Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on June 16. Additionally, Groban will return to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace this fall for GEMS The Las Vegas Residency. See a full tour routing included below.
