Extremely proud of the team. In a changing media landscape where being "media" means you are now fighting to be seen in amidst a crowded sea of influencers, I have had to learn to be competent at both. This is neither good nor bad, but it is the reality of the landscape now. I never foresaw myself doing reels about food or diarizing my life in videos but it is now by day-to-day.![]()

#TIFF25: “JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME” REVIEW
By Mr. Will Wong
With the distinction of being tiff50′s Opening Night Gala, there couldn’t have been a more worthy selection than JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME, giving a true national hero his long due flowers.
Actor/Director Colin Hanks, with celebrated Ryan Reynolds among others, listed as Producer, pays tribute to this icon in this Documentary. Often when we think of John Candy and his legacy, we think big laughs and big personality, but it is via a star-studded lineup for talking heads here that we get a more intimate glimpse into Candy and what made him tick, in addition to his struggles and pain. Names like Candy‘s son Chris, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Martin Short, Bill Murray, Macaulay Culkin, Catherine O’Hara, and Eugene Levy speak candidly with anecdotes that paint a picture of a sensitive, generous, and caring man who was a people-pleaser, delivering what audiences wanted and expected of him. Even if he was at odds sometimes with the work he had to do.
The Film explores the topic of his appearance constantly being mentioned and scrutinized, when he saw others beyond their shells and exteriors, never quite getting that same level of empathy back. And of course, having lost his father at a young age, he operated with the dark cloud of maybe him suffering a similar fate as well, which is so tragic.
JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME is the public eulogy this icon didn’t receive after his premature passing and Hanks nobly takes the time to ensure that his story is told on forever to a new generation.
