Ronny's Bench is a movie short of 13.5 minutes. It was shot over 3 days. Even though it has a few youth actors [extras], we did use youth as crew. It was a lot of fun to make. The Ronny character was introduced to the co-producer during early script review. It was shot exclusively in Chatham - Kent, Ontario, Canada.

Don Hickey wrote and co-produced this 14-minute movie short. Hickey and the actors and crew were very happy to receive recognition at film festivals for this short. This movie opened the way for extras and crew members to be "picked up" by other productions associated with iFilmGroup.org

Don Hickey created the character Ronny and was cast by an audition process for this lead.

This little movie changed the lives of many people connected with it. Actors and crew met other people on the set. These other people saw the teamwork performed by the group. Matthew Marshall of m & s Marshall Productions met Don Hickey on set. Don met crew members and actors. Actors and crew who had smaller roles met people who had connections to other productions. The networking was a hive of the  'right people at the right time'.

Within a short time, iFilmGroup.org was founded. This created a bigger network within the movie industry in southwestern Ontario, gathered under the professionalism of the iFilmGroup.org mandate and leadership. 

Don Hickey and Matthew Marshall predict great success  for many who will work with iFilmGroup.org
