What happens when technology decides which emotions are acceptable? In this Janette's TV Podcast episode, Janette sits down with filmmaker Sarah D’Ambrosio, writer and director of the thought-provoking short film Good Vibes Only, an Official Selection at the 2026 Vaughan International Film Festival (VFF). Set in a future where artificial intelligence encourages relentless positivity and emotional control, Good Vibes Only explores what happens when authentic human emotions collide with technology designed to eliminate discomfort. The film follows a young woman struggling to process heartbreak while her AI companion continuously pushes her toward artificial happiness. Janette and Sarah discuss the inspiration behind the film, the growing role of AI in our lives, mental health, emotional authenticity, filmmaking, storytelling, and why embracing all of our emotions may be more important than ever. Good Vibes Only is screening at the 2026 Vaughan International Film Festival and has already generated attention for its timely exploration of technology, emotion, and the human experience.
