Ward W. Bond’s 250th Film Interview Proves Substance Still Matters in Hollywood
Originally launched on YouTube, Bond on Cinema is now also streaming as a full series on Amazon Prime Video, where its first season has debuted and a second season is in development. With a growing international fan base and a sharp focus on the story behind the story, Bond’s interviews have become essential viewing for serious cinephiles and emerging filmmakers alike.
In this landmark interview, Bond sat down with Arab-American actor Sayed Badreya, known for blockbuster roles in Iron Man, Three Kings, and the BAFTA-winning short film Jellyfish and Lobster. Their conversation explored Badreya’s journey from being typecast to winning major international recognition and using short films as a platform for rising talent. “Short Films can help minority actors to get a lead part, which helps to showcase their talent for a possible feature,” Badreya shared.
Filmmakers and talent alike praise Bond for his preparation, his understanding of cinema, and the respect he brings to their work. Academy Award-winning actor Alan Arkin said, “Speaking with Ward Bond was like speaking with an old friend. He is extremely knowledgeable in many areas, endlessly inquisitive, flexible and a complete joy to talk with.”
Ward Bond doesn’t just ask questions—he reveals meaning. Jenna-Louis Hawkins, screenwriter of What We Wished We Could Be, said, “The lens you apply to films is utterly forensic and it’s very rewarding as a writer to have your work put under the microscope and its meaning interpreted. Thank you.”
Legendary fashion and costume designer Bob Mackie said, “What an incredible interview by Ward Bond with director Matthew Miele about my life in Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion.”
Michael Hirsh, author of Animation Nation: How We Built A Cartoon Empire and creator of Inspector Gadget, Babar, and Franklin, noted, “Ward Bond is one of the best interviewers I have ever worked with. He is full of passion and enthusiasm for his subject. His preparation and research is second to none and all of that combined with genuine charm.”
Oscar-nominated director and world-renowned photographer Misan Harriman (The After), known for photographing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter Lilibet, said, “It was such a pleasure to sit down and have a deep dive into the great privilege of filmmaking with Ward Bond. Ward is a poet.”
With a growing global audience, especially in the UK and Europe where short films and independent cinema flourish, Bond on Cinema has become the go-to platform for Oscar, BAFTA, IFTA, Sundance, and Cannes winners who want their work discussed with depth and respect.
With each interview, Ward Bond showcases his ability to uncover the deeper story—often seeing what others miss. From award-winning shorts and groundbreaking indie projects to timely conversations around legacy, identity, and social justice, Bond is proving that thoughtful film criticism still has a powerful place in the media landscape.

Ze względu na różnice w cenach surowce wtórne przegrywają z pierwotnymi. To powoduje problemy branży recyklingowej
Rozporządzenie PPWR stawia ambitne cele w zakresie wykorzystania recyklatów w poszczególnych rodzajach opakowań. To będzie oznaczało wzrost popytu na materiały wtórne pochodzące z recyklingu. Obecnie problemy branży recyklingu mogą spowodować, że popyt będzie zaspokajany głównie przez import. Dziś do dobrowolnego wykorzystania recyklatów nie zachęcają przede wszystkim ceny – surowiec pierwotny można kupić taniej niż ten z recyklingu.

Rośnie presja konkurencyjna na unijne rolnictwo. Bez rekompensat sytuacja rolników może się pogarszać

Rolnictwo i żywność, w tym rybołówstwo, są sektorami strategicznymi dla UE. System rolno-spożywczy, oparty na jednolitym rynku europejskim, wytwarza ponad 900 mld euro wartości dodanej. Jego konkurencyjność stoi jednak przed wieloma wyzwaniami – to przede wszystkim eksport z Ukrainy i niedługo także z krajów Mercosur, a także presja związana z oczekiwaniami konsumentów i Zielonym Ładem. Bez rekompensat rolnikom może być trudno tym wyzwaniom sprostać.

Infrastruktury ładowania elektryków przybywa w szybkim tempie. Inwestorzy jednak napotykają szereg barier

Liczba punktów ładowania samochodów elektrycznych wynosi dziś ok. 10 tys., a tempo wzrostu wynosi ok. 50 proc. r/r. Dynamika ta przez wiele miesięcy była wyższa niż wyniki samego rynku samochodów elektrycznych, na które w poprzednim roku wpływało zawieszenie rządowych dopłat do zakupu elektryka. Pierwszy kwartał br. zamknął się 22-proc. wzrostem liczby rejestracji w ujęciu rocznym, ale kwiecień przyniósł już wyraźne odbicie – o 100 proc.
