Michael Traeger's directorial debut The Amateurs is a hillarious, sexy comedy about this small Cable Car August 10th 5:00 PM town's attempt to make what becomes the world's most innocent adult film. The quest begins innocently enough with Andy (Jeff Bridges) seeing that sex is everywhere; in the paper, all over town, everywhere. It's a multi-billion dollar industry, and better yet, one of its more popular forms is the amateur variety. And Andy and his friends are indeed amateurs, so better yet, one of its more popular forms is the amateur variety. And Andy and his friends are indeed amateurs, so why shouldn't they be able to strike it rich in this booming industry?

  • Jennifer Beals Letter
    Hello, I am very proud to announce the publication of my friend and colleague Jennifer Beals’ photographic memoir of her experience on a show that we both were on for six years, The L Word. Jennifer has kindly decided to donate the proceeds from the book to charity. Among the recipients, I Live Here. Jennifer is a talented photographer and has a unique and terribly intimate view that has never been seen before. The book contains interviews with the cast and carefully preserved ephemera that she saved over the years. I hope you all will proudly support Jennifer’s very first book that documents years of working on a show that has meaning for so many around the world. Check out the book on line: http://lwordbook.com/ Hugs, Mia Kirshner A NOTE FROM JENNIFER BEALS Somewhere in the first season of The L Word, the show became synonymous not only with representation, sexuality and fashion but also with giving. We, as a cast, were invited to take part in numerous fundraisers for the gay community. The L Word was a catalyst for giving and we were happy to take part. Now that the show is over, I wanted this book to continue the tradition of giving that had become such a significant part of The L Word. I wanted to benefit ILH because like The L Word at its best, ILH is about the transformative nature of community and of art, or self-expression. Though the communities I Live Here supports may be eons away from the small community that was our L Word cast, we are still joined in our shared need to express ourselves and strengthened by the clarity and purpose that comes from doing so.

  • Representations of Bisexual Women in Twenty-First Century Popular Culture
    Straddling (In)Visibility: Representations of Bisexual Women in Twenty-First Century Popular Culture Sasha Cocarla A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Philosophy in Women's Studies Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Sasha Cocarla, Ottawa, Canada 2016 Abstract Throughout the first decade of the 2000s, LGBTQ+ visibility has steadily increased in North American popular culture, allowing for not only more LGBTQ+ characters/figures to surface, but also establishing more diverse and nuanced representations and storylines. Bisexuality, while being part of the increasingly popular phrase of inclusivity (LGBTQ+), however, is one sexuality that not only continues to be overlooked within popular culture but that also continues to be represented in limited ways. In this doctoral thesis I examine how bisexual women are represented within mainstream popular culture, in particular on American television, focusing on two, popular programs (The L Word and the Shot At Love series). These texts have been chosen for popularity and visibility in mainstream media and culture, as well as for how bisexual women are unprecedentedly made central to many of the storylines (The L Word) and the series as a whole (Shot At Love). This analysis provides not only a detailed historical account of bisexual visibility but also discusses bisexuality thematically, highlighting commonalities across bisexual representations as well as shared themes between and with other identities. By examining key examples of bisexuality in popular culture from the first decade of the twenty- first century, my research investigates how representations of bisexuality are often portrayed in conversation with hegemonic understandings of gender and sexuality, specifically highlighting the mainstream "gay rights" movement's narrative of "normality" and "just like you" politics.

  • The L Word and Narrating Biographies
    The L Life: The L Word and Narrating Biographies Leah Barbara Caluzzi Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts (Screen Studies) July 2015 Department of Culture and Communication, Faculty of Arts University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper 1 Abstract This thesis examines the reception of the television series The L Word by young adult lesbians in Melbourne. It shows the influence of the series as a media object that is significant to three aspects of these women’s lesbian lifestyle construction: coming out, lifestyle development, and integration into the lesbian community. This thesis argues that, as a media object, the series helps these lesbians narrate their own biographies as they negotiate their life transitions into adulthood. 2 Declaration This is to certify that: i. this thesis comprises only my original work towards the Masters ii. due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used iii. this thesis is less than 40,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices Leah Barbara Caluzzi Date: 9-11-15 3 Acknowledgements I would like to take the opportunities to acknowledge the many people who have helped to make this project possible. Firstly I would like to thank my primary supervisor, Assoc. Professor Audrey Yue for her tireless guidance and direction across the length of this project. I would also like to thank my secondary supervisor Dr. Fran Martin for all her assistance and support. Thanks must also go to the School of Culture and Communication Research Support staff, whom I have called upon many times throughout this process.

Identities that are performed and mediated through a relationship between flmmaker and participant are examined with detailed reference to two decades of my own practice. A refexive, feminist approach engages my own flms - and the relationships that produced them - in analysis of the ethical potholes and emotional challenges in representing others on TV. The trigger for this research was the furiously angry reaction of the One Direction fandom to my representation of them in Crazy About One Direction (Channel 4, 2013). This offered an opportunity to investigate the potential for shame in documentary; a loud and clear case study of flmed participants using social media to contest their image on screen.
