The men set out in their boats each day and the women mended the nets. The last few months the catch had been lean and the skies were black as soot. The waves had swept fishermen overboard and the wails of the women rose. * One day in late summer she wandered off to pick blueberries in the woods. They were scarce, ’til a dark young man said I’ll take you to a patch. Drawing by Julia Crozier So they climbed the hill to a meadow, and they picked through the afternoon. * They lost track of time, and didn’t say much. She danced with his brothers at gatherings The berries were dusty and big. some black, some brown, some yellow, some red, and even a few albinos. The air was dry so she took off her dress The gamut, from lean to stout. and filled it full of berries. She didn’t mind that he saw her naked-- Some came in gaggles, some alone, he was naked too. they came from all directions. Some had little ones at their dugs, And then it started to rain in sheets-- and they quaffed from drinking gourds. He said you won’t make it home-- the river’s swollen its banks … I’ll give you They danced and they danced and they swirled her around shelter, a fire, some food. clumsy but somehow agile. Some even stood upright on hind legs He smelled strong, like upturned earth; just to make her feel welcome. he smelled like the dance of danger. But she was a dancer and followed him home. Then they’d drop to all fours, swing heads back and forth, She spent the night, a month, another. and bare their teeth at each other. Lost Lake Folk Opera 5 Sang on the intake of their breaths-- She heard the drumbeat of his heart huffed and chuffed in low voices. that pulled her down to sleep. * * He had a den that he shared with her, She taught him how to light a fire, he’d marked it off with his urine. he taught her to catch fish with her hands. The den was a quiet place for them He came to like roasted trout in the shadows to lie together. and she learned to like raw liver. The smell of him, of her, the earth, Often he took her to honey trees, the music of wind in the pines but she let him collect the honey. Oh, Honeypaws! and the cheerful black-capped chickadees, Once he fell with a thud to the earth elk bugling over the hills. with a beehive stuck on his snout. When they coupled he made love to her fiercely: They roamed together most of the time he took her from behind, but sometimes he went alone, biting, growling, with claws dug in; passing through groves like a hairy ghost, there was thunder all around her. a shadow, and barely a whiff. She’d had a husband for just three months The same hawk always circled them who’d drowned in his fishing dory. and the black jay made his reports. But this kind of mating was new to her-- As they rambled, she always left traces. this butting, this caterwauling. He noticed, but looked to the side. She turned him so they looked at each other On cold clear nights with the stars awash, and she gazed him tender and slow. the coyotes called and answered. A rumble came from deep in his chest-- The scent of black cherries on the wind— they were thunder and starlight together. she learned to scent them also. Unlike a male and female bear When the air turned chill, they ate their fill, they wanted to stay together. and fattened up for each other, And that bone in his penis, new to her, but they went to separate dens for the winter. was her single-minded consort. He was John Osa, she was Ursula. She noticed the footprints of her bear-- * just like a barefoot man. Her own were somewhere in between A light snow had fallen. John Osa that of a bear and a woman. walked backwards out of his den. Then jumped to his left to a smaller cave She slept with her head on his chest in case they’d been following him. rough against her cheek. 6 Summer 2018 Spring Ursula (sung softly): Ursula (spoken): Woodpecker rapping on a hollow tree I know they are my brothers. Drip drip dripping outside My cousins are some of the others. the belly of sleep is open wide They’re looking for both of us. The long red dreaming is over What we have is turning to dust. Two balls of fur with needle teeth John Osa (spoken, angrily) are sucking at my breasts I don’t know whether to trust you! One of them has his barrel chest The other looks just like me Maybe you’ll give me away! Maybe this is our last day! I’ll sup buttercups, buds of willows Maybe these poor cubs cool water from the pine bog will fall victim to their clubs. rake up ants from a rotten log moss under paws for pillows. Ursula (sung): My Honeypaws, my dearest Human voices in the distance: I tell you this in earnest A hunter( shouts): The dogs have picked up the scent. Their voices are fading, they’re going away Another hunter( shouts): Look up there, on that ridge!… They will not find us today. Ursula (spoken): But the fish are gone, they are starving, Do I hear dogs? And hunters’ voices? the crops in their fields have withered. Surely they’re looking for me. I must tell them to follow the polestar. And they’re looking for meat, but he I must lead them to where you are. will fight them. There’ll be no choice. John Osa (spoken, in a rage) John Osa appears on the sheltering ridge. How can you do this?! (He speaks, obviously disturbed): (He growls and rakes the ground with his claws.) I thought our bond would protect us. I wondered if they’d find you. Ursula (sung): It is not bear nature to stay this close I am caught between two worlds— but I wanted to see my two sons. Do I have a choice? Some male bears even eat their own spawn John Osa (sung): but that isn’t my inclination; I see the way it must be-- I am here to protect you three-- The grandfathers have set me free you are not yet fully a she bear. to honor these prayers. Must I give my life that their families may live? (he sings): They waited for the snows to clear. I thought that there would be time. How did they know to look up here? Do you recognize their voices? We’re running out of choices. Lost Lake Folk Opera 7 Ursula(sung); My soul tells me otherwise.

Posted: Mon., Dec. 28, 2009, 8:00pm PT Adler, McCarthy engulfed in WWII 'Fog' Producers option sci-fi horror comicbook 'Night and Fog' By TATIANA SIEGEL Producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy have optioned the sci-fi horror comicbook "Night and Fog" from publisher Studio 407. No stranger to comicbook-based material, Adler has produced such graphic-based fare as "Constantine," "Superman Returns" and the upcoming Brandon Routh starrer "Dead of Night," which is based on the popular Italian title "Dylan Dog." This material is definitely in my strike zone in more ways than one," Adler said, noting his prior role as a producer of such horror projects as the "Tales From the Crypt" series. "But what really appealed to me wasn't so much the genre trappings but rather the characters that really drive this story." Set during WWII, story revolves around an infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable. Studio 407's Alex Leung will also serve as a producer on "Night and Fog." Adler and McCarthy are also teaming to produce an adaptation of "Havana Nocturne" along with Eric Eisner. They also recently optioned Ken Bruen's crime thriller "Tower." "Night and Fog" is available in comic shops in the single-issue format and digitally on iPhone through Comixology.

  • 2009 Conference Speaker List As of 4/15/09
    2009 Conference Speaker List As of 4/15/09 DIANNE ASHFORD attended Florida A&M University where she received a B.S. in Computer Information Systems. After 6 years in the corporate world, she decided to pursue a career in the arts. Taking a thirty- day leave of absence to work on Rainforest Films' Trois 2: Pandora's Box as the producer's intern, the experience was so valuable and intriguing that Dianne immediately resigned from her job and embarked on a new career as a film producer. She moved back to her hometown of Atlanta, GA in 2001 and immediately obtained a position as Production Coordinator for PM Pictures’ The Kudzu Christmas . She became the Director of Operations for the company once the film was complete. One year later, Dianne returned to Rainforest Films where she worked in distribution on the theatrical release of Trois 2: Pandora's Box . She continued her tenure with Rainforest Films through production and video distribution of Pandora's Box, Lockdown and Motives. In 2003, Dianne and partner Angi Bones, co-founded Symmetry Entertainment and in May of 2004, completed their first film entitled A Complex Occupation . The film's title was later changed to Trois: The Escort. Dianne continued her career as Line Producer for the hit film The Gospel , producer for a controversial documentary about migrant border crossers entitled Season of Death , producer of Motives 2 , co-producer of Three Can Play That Game (sequel to the hit movie Two Can Play That Game ), and Line Producer of Pastor Brown (slated for release in 2009).

  • Thesis Colorblind Love and Black Love
    THESIS COLORBLIND LOVE AND BLACK LOVE ON PURPOSE: BLACK FEMINIST THOUGHT, CASTING, AND THE INVISIBILITY/VISIBILITY OF BLACK WOMANHOOD ON TELEVISION Submitted by Ava Goepfert Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2018 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Nick Marx Kit Hughes Raymond Black Copyright by Ava Goepfert 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT COLORBLIND LOVE AND BLACK LOVE ON PURPOSE: BLACK FEMINIST THOUGHT, CASTING, AND THE INVISIBILITY/VISIBILITY OF BLACK WOMANHOOD ON TELEVISION This thesis interrogates the representations of Black womanhood on television by investigating the production context and text of two contemporary television shows. Both case studies reveal the importance of quality on screen representations and the relationship between production practices and understandings of intersectionality, stereotypes, and cultural specificity. I argue Being Mary Jane’s industrial discourse and text intentionally offer a complex image of a Black woman’s life while the industrial context surrounding Rachel’s journey on The Bachelorette undermines Black female visibility through a colorblind discourse that dismisses Rachel’s position and experience as a Black woman. These case studies demonstrate how off screen discourses contribute to representation on screen and create narratives that can exclude or include cultural specificity and racial complexity. Such narratives resonate throughout popular and political discourses with the potential to empower marginalized voices or expose the mechanisms that strive to silence them and reify white supremacy. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis project would not be possible without a host of people guiding and supporting me along the way.
