Ron Vermillion: News Anchor

Ron Vermillion: News Anchor is an animated mockumentary comedy about a disgraced local news legend who gets replaced by an AI anchor and immediately decides the internet needs more of him. Convinced his charisma is irreplaceable, Ron launches a rogue online news network from his apartment using a green screen and pure delusion. As his off-the-rails broadcasts go viral, Ron drags his exhausted former colleagues into a chaotic reinvention that blurs the line between relevance and disaster. Equal parts satire of modern media, ego, and institutional collapse, Ron Vermillion skewers the cult of personality, the rise of AI-driven news, and the dangerous appeal of confidence untethered from reality — all through the lens of a man who believes he was born to be watched. The result is a fast, absurd, character-forward comedy about relevance, reinvention, and what happens when a microphone lands in the hands of someone who will never, ever let it go.
