  • Gender Roles & Occupations
    1 Gender Roles & Occupations: A Look at Character Attributes and Job-Related Aspirations in Film and Television Stacy L. Smith, PhD Marc Choueiti Ashley Prescott & Katherine Pieper, PhD Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California An Executive Report Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media Our earlier research shows that gender roles are still stereotyped in entertainment popular with children.1 For example, female characters in feature films populate less than 30% of all speaking roles. A slightly better percentage emerges across our research on gender roles in children’s television programming. Not only are on screen females present less frequently than on screen males, they are often sexualized, domesticated, and sometimes lack gainful employment. To illustrate this last point, our recent analysis2 of every first run general audience film (n=21) theatrically released between September 2006 and September 2009 reveals that a higher percentage of males (57.8%) than females (31.6%) are depicted with an occupation. While females hold marginally more professional jobs than their male counterparts (24.6% vs. 20.9%), women are noticeably absent in some of the most prestigious occupational posts. Across more than 300 speaking characters, not one female is depicted in the medical sciences (e.g., doctor, veterinarian), executive business suites (e.g., CEO, CFO), legal world (e.g., attorney, judge), or political arena. More optimistically, 6 of the 65 working females (9%) are shown with a job in the hard sciences or as pilots/astronauts. These findings suggest that females have not shattered as many glass ceilings in the “reel” world as one might suspect.

  • Philly Connection One Day Professional Workshop/Love That Child Benefit Concert
    PHILLY CONNECTION ONE DAY PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOP/LOVE THAT CHILD BENEFIT CONCERT Inspiring Young Dancers of the Bahamas! PURPOSE • Our Purpose: “Philly Connection One Day Professional Workshop” was created for the sole purpose of furthering the dance education of aspiring young dancers in the Bahamas by affording them an opportunity to participate in such a program that is readily available to dancers in the United States. We believe bringing a program such as ours, is critical in need for the future of young Bahamians for many reasons. Since tourism is the leading industry and the engine of the Bahamas economy generates about 50% of the total Gross Domestic Product and employs nearly half of the workforce, furthering education in the arts and more specifically entertainment in the Bahamas is definitely an investment in the future of this industry. WORKSHOP • The workshop is held in the ballrooms of a local hotel on a Saturday morning from 8 a.m. through 1 p.m. • Dance Educators from the U.S. assisted by U.S. Dancers teach a variety of classes to the dance students and teachers of Nassau divided into 3 levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced determined by age and experience. • The U.S. Faculty consisting of 8 to 9 members are strictly volunteer and receive no monetary compensation (Our staff actually lose pay from their teaching assignments in the U.S. to volunteer for this project). Therefore, lodging and transportation are provided. OUR STAFF • Our Staff consist of 8 to 9 Dance Educators and Administrative faculty to ensure the Bahamian Dancers come away with the utmost & positive experience in both educational and social areas.

  • How to Rock Braces and Glasses
    How to Rock Braces and Glasses What You Need to Know: • Kacey Simon, the most popular girl in school, learns what life is like on the other side of the lunch table when she gets braces and glasses and quickly loses her star status. • Mean girls and mild bullying are present in the story. • The girls are interested in boys and talk about kissing and boy/girl parties. • "How to Rock", a television series loosely based on the book, aired on Nickelodeon in February, 2012. • A sequel to the book is expected in fall 2012. Sweet Book Summary: How to Rock Braces and takes Glasses a refreshing look at middle school popularity. An aspiring journalist, Kacey Simon has it all, including her own advice segment on the school TV station, a starring role in the school play, a tight circle of friends, and the interest of a cute boy. To top it off, she's the most popular girl in the eighth grade. Overly confident, the only time that Kacey appears slightly vulnerable is when she thinks about her parents' divorce. Kacey values popularity, prides herself on being honest and is generally insensitive to other people's feelings. Her version of honesty is often ruthless, and she even shares scathing comments with her closest friend, Molly. Kacey feels secure in her role as queen bee and has no idea just how precarious that position can be, until she suddenly finds herself with braces, glasses and an embarrassing lisp. In a matter of two weeks, Kacey goes from cool to geek.

    Nickelodeon All-Stars Team Up In A Heroic High Stakes Caper In A New Original TV Movie, Swindle Production Commences in October with Ensemble Cast Featuring Jennette McCurdy, Noah Crawford, Noah Munck, Ariana Grande, Chris O'Neal and Ciara Bravo SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kids' will have a chance to see all their favorite Nickelodeon stars together for the first time in the original TV movie, Swindle. Jennette McCurdy (iCarly), Noah Crawford (How to Rock, You Gotta See This) and Noah Munck (iCarly) will team up with Ariana Grande (Victorious), Chris O'Neal (How to Rock, You Gotta See This) and Ciara Bravo (Big Time Rush) in this original comedy caper.

"We are excited to give our audience a movie featuring beloved stars from across the Nickelodeon universe in this wish-fulfilling adventure full of big laughs."

It's a valiant adventure that will take them through daring heists, crazy disguises, pie fights and a showdown with a sumo wrestler — but throughout it all, the kids have to bring their skills together as a team to get justice.

  • 2013 TV Staffing Brief
    WGAW 2013 TV Staffing Brief The 2013 TV Staffing Brief examines employment patterns for 1722 writers1 working on 190 broadcast and cable television shows during the 2011-12 season.2 These shows were subject to Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) bargaining agreements, and the data in this brief associated with each show were collected during the course of ongoing Guild business. This brief highlights three groups of writers who traditionally have been underemployed in the television industry — women, minority, and older writers. It documents the employment experiences of these groups of writers relative to their male, white, and younger counterparts in order to identify any trends that suggest either progress or retreat on the industry diversity front. The findings in the brief will be included later this year in the 2013 Hollywood Writers Report, the eighth report in a series that considers patterns in employment and earnings in both the television and film sectors. Using these reports as a diagnostic tool, the WGAW seeks to collaborate with the industry in efforts to increase the employment opportunities of all writers. Pockets of Promise, Minimal Progress It all begins with the writing. From concept to characters, from plot to narrative, writers play a foundational role in the fashioning of the stories a society circulates about itself. But in the Hollywood entertainment industry, unfortunately, there has all too often existed a disconnect between the writers hired to tell our stories and an America that’s becoming increasingly diverse with each passing day. Findings from the 2013 WGAW TV Staffing Brief show that — despite a few pockets of promise — much more work must be done on the television diversity front before the corps of writers telling our stories looks significantly more like us as a nation.
