  • Smith and Choueiti Gender Inequality in '08 Films
    1 Gender Inequality in Cinematic Content? A Look at Females On Screen & Behind-the-Camera in Top-Grossing 2008 Films Stacy L. Smith, PhD. & Marc Choueiti Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California 3502 Watt Way, Suite 222 Los Angeles, CA 90089 [email protected] Summary This study examined the gender of all speaking characters and behind-the-scenes employees on the 100 top-grossing fictional films in 2008. A total of 4,370 speaking characters were evaluated and 1,227 above-the-line personnel. In addition to prevalence, we assessed the hypersexualization of on screen characters across the 100 movies. Below are the study’s main findings. 32.8 percent of speaking characters were female. Put differently, a ratio of roughly 2 males to every one female was observed across the 100 top-grossing films. Though still grossly imbalanced given that females represent over half of the U.S. population, this is the highest percentage of females in film we have witnessed across multiple studies. The presence of women working behind-the-camera is still abysmal. Only, 8% of directors, 13.6% of writers, and 19.1% of producers are female. This calculates to a ratio of 4.90 males to every one female. Films with female directors, writers, and producers were associated with a higher number of girls and women on screen than were films with only males in these gate-keeping positions. To illustrate, the percentage of female characters jumps 14.3% when one or more female screenwriters were involved in penning the script.

  • Prim and Poofy
    Prim and poofy Craig Courtice, Alison Broverman and Jodie Katz, National Post Published: Friday, November 30, 2007 Filmmaking is a collaborative art, so why isn't film reviewing? Each week in this space, experts, artists and paying movie customers come together to take apart a recent release. It's salty. It's full of hot air. It's the Popcorn Panel. THIS WEEK'S PANEL - Craig Courtice, a short filmmaker who isn't very tall - Alison Broverman, freelance writer and occasional playwright - Jodie Katz, whose own wedding gown was inspired by Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Check her out at www.thesocialbutterfly.ca. THIS WEEK'S FILM ENCHANTED Craig Ah princesses, the scourge of feminists everywhere. These lasses seem content to go through life searching for nothing but a prince. Enchanted certainly winks at all the princess films of yore, but despite its meta-fictional packaging, it's still gooey Disney on the inside. Alison Gooey is right. I've never been much into princesses -- my feminist friends and I often sit around ranting about how bad Disney's princess marketing tactics are for women; princesses are boring and passive, and they never do anything! Surely little girls should be taught to aspire to more than just wearing pretty dresses? I was hoping Enchanted would be a satirical, subversive romp. It wasn't, although it had some clever moments; I loved the New York vermin cleaning up the apartment and the queen's crony questioning his sense of self while watching a soap opera. Also, is there anyone more adorable in the world than Amy Adams? Her character should be cloying and irritating, but she's just so damn charming that she kind of makes the entire film work.

Abstract: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl again. With this formula it seems that romantic comedies are actually meant for men instead of women. If this is the case, then why do women watch these films? The repetition of female stars like Katharine Hepburn, Doris Day and Meg Ryan in romantic comedies allows audiences to find elements of truth in their characters as they grapple with the input of others in their life choices, combat the anxiety of being single, and prove they are less sexually naïve than society would like to admit.

  • TRANSCRIPT of INTERVIEW with ACTOR, WRITER, and DIRECTOR NICK CASSAVETES DREAMPATH PODCAST, EPISODE 46 May 6, 2020 Host: Bryan Smith
    TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW WITH ACTOR, WRITER, AND DIRECTOR NICK CASSAVETES DREAMPATH PODCAST, EPISODE 46 May 6, 2020 Host: Bryan Smith [00:00:00] Nick Cassavetes: Love is everything. The rest of it, there's nothing else that matters. The rest of life is bullshit only love. So if you have a point of view of what you're actually trying to make, especially with an experienced actor, they know what you want. And then it gives them freedom to like, not make choices that are out of the director's comfort zone. And they can do whatever the heck they want, you know? And, Even if you're the most technically gifted actor in the world, everybody always gets in trouble. Everybody always, there's something happens and you just try to be there and, you know, through a series of permission givings, make sure the actor's comfortable and that it's okay for him to dig deep and be as authentic as he can be. Bryan Smith: Brian Smith here and welcome to the DreamPath Podcast, where I try to get inside the heads of talented creatives from all over the world. My goal is to demystify and humanize the creative process, and make it accessible to everyone. Now let's jump in. [00:01:00] Nick Cassavetes is on the show today. Nick is an actor, screenwriter and director. Nick's dad, John Cassavetes, was a pioneer of independent cinema in the 70s and 80s, writing and directing classics like Gloria and Woman Under the Influence, both starring Nick's mother, Gina Rowlands.
